“This is a story about two great Irish, globally-minded companies coming together” Established in 1978, and a member of the Alltech family of companies since April 2016, KEENAN is a respected leader in ethical and profitable farming solutions, focused on maximising feed efficiency. Over the course of nearly four decades in business, KEENAN has earned a particularly strong reputation for manufacturing quality diet feeders, delivering unparalleled results on farms all over the world. KEENAN prides itself on continuous investment into new technology for the benefit of its customers globally....

KEENAN machines are unique in the proven nutritional benefits they deliver. Each KEENAN is engineered to use a gentle mixing action to produce evenly, thoroughly mixed, light, fluffy feed which is never over or under mixed. We call this optimal mix ‘MechFiber’. The KEENAN controller, which is synced with the InTouch feed management platfrom ensures all feed ingredients are consistently added in the same order and ratios. Independent trials have consistently shown that MechFiber retains the fibre structure to stimulate rumination, allows greater absorption of energy and maximised feed...

• Mixing chamber containing 6-paddle reel with fixed mounted knives at the bottom • The paddles gently lift and tumble the added materials across the blades ensuring feedstuff is cut to an optimal length without destroying the quality of the fibre. This is to create a mix with the correct chop length and structure for optimum rumen health • The two chambers are separated by an exit door which opens when the feed is mixed and ready to be fed out through the discharge chamber • The auger is housed in the discharge chamber to evenly dispense feed to the animals. Traditional diet feeders house...

pa°°L£ system FIXED KNIVES Our Engineering Difference The KEENAN diet feeder has a unique two-chamber system - both a mixing chamber and a separate discharge chamber. The two-chamber system, together with the 6-paddle reel and our patented fixed knives system is how we produce MechFiber - the open fluffy mix that is unique to KEENAN.

KEENAN Controller The KEENAN controller is synced with the InTouch feed management Proactively driving platform; allowing farmers to easily measure, monitor and manage feed accuracy and efficiency, herd performance, feed costs, dry matter intake animal performance and refusals. KEENAN Controller: � Gives clear instructions on order and weight of ingredients � Leading to maximised ration quality and consistency Instant Revolutions & AutoStop: � Prevents over or under mixing of feed ingredients � Ensures a consistent TMR in every load � Delivers a balanced ration with every bite of feed...

Easily measure, monitor and manage your feed efficiency Benefits of using the KEENAN controller and InTouch feed management: � Provides accurate feed advice and ration formulation � Delivers consistency in both feed and mixing � Improves milk yields and milk solids � Assists in finishing cattle quicker � Improves herd health � Monitors and controls f
