Using the Mech-fiber™ approach to lift feed conversion efficiency is one of the the most reliable and dramatic ways you can lift your overall enterprise profitability.

The average improvement in Feed Conversion with Mech-fiber™ is 10% within the first year rising to 20-30% over 2-3 years.

According to Professor David Colman - President of the International Association of Agricultural Economists - improving feed efficiency by just 10% in a 7,000 litres/cow herd can put net margin up from $196/cow to $392/cow � a 100% gain in profitability.

In trials at the world renowned Coopon Carse Farm in South West Scotland, without any ration change, replacing the existing vertical mixer with a Keenan Mech-fiber™ unit produced more milk and more protein with total gains worth $0.43 per cow per day - all within 3 weeks.

Using a full Mech-fiber™ ration, 1.9 kg DM/cow/day less feed produced 0.9 litres more milk/cow/day and a 0.34% protein lift, giving a margin improvement of $1.34/cow/day. With the introduction of PACE, this increased to $1.78 per cow per day.

In total, this represents an increase in Feed Conversion Efficiency of 20% - from 1.25 to 1.49 in just 24 weeks.
