Keenans nutrition re-launch

A DIET wagon and nutritional package for €3,000 per year has been launched by Keenans of Borris, Co Carlow, with the promise of a net profit increase of about €80 per dairy cow.

The company says that many Irish farmers have failed to accept the limitations of pasture for the modern cow, which often suffers from poor rumen health, as a result.

Infertility, displaced abomasum, and milk fever are also associated with struggling cows, says Professor David Beever, Keenan International Nutritional Director, who has helped to develop the new "Rumans" package now on offer.
