“Utilizing modern technology and animal nutrition experts, InTouch helps to take the guesswork out of managing your feeding and all-round herd performance. Correct diet formulation is only as good as the mix that is delivered to the animals, and a consistent diet is key to achieving production goals. By proactively helping farmers in all areas of their business, from ration formulation to grassland management, we aim to ensure animals have the best opportunity to deliver optimum results every day.”

(John Killen, Dairy Farmer, Northern Ireland)
