Soil

A healthy soil is essential for optimum quality and quantity of roughage production. The soil index tests the quality of your soil based on the strength of the soil and the needs of the crop. You receive advice on improving the structure of your soil and the correct fertilization. The result: optimum own roughage, in quality and quantity.

Feed

Your cows are fed optimally based on your own roughage. The feed index tests the coherence of the entire feeding process: from the ground to the absorption by the cow. Many factors influence the quality and quantity of forage during this feeding process. The result: lower feed costs and healthier cows.

Cow

No healthy returns without vital cows. The cow index gives insight into the health, reproduction and production of livestock at a glance. We aim to achieve that your cows give, at least, four lactations of milk without any problems, based on your own roughage. The result: a sustainable herd.

Do you know the pH value of your soil?

With the introduction of phosphate rights, it’s essential to deal efficiently with the mineral maintenance. A good tool for this is the cycle indicator. The indicator shows where the strong and weak points are on the farm as far as mineral utilisation is concerned. Higher crop yields can be achieved by dealing with mineral use efficiently, which in turn reduces

Reducing phosphorus but not at the expense of the health of your cows

Now that the decision on phosphate rights has finally been made, the sector will be seeking the limits in order to minimise the effects of the restrictions. There is a lot of discussion about improving mineral efficiency via BEX and the cycle indicator. In addition, farmers want to reduce the number of young cattle and prolong the lifespan of the
