PACE in action
Performance Acceleration and Control Enhancement
As its name suggests PACE is designed to bring the benefits of Mech-fiber™ to producers quickly and efficiently, so they see the benefits in as short a space of time as possible and then keep seeing benefits as the technology develops.
Different combinations and types of feed materials and forages contribute to Mech-fiber™ in different ways. For the past 10 years Keenan system specialists have developed extensive know-how on best practices to process the best ‘physical’ mix in the Keenan mixer wagon – the correct loading sequences and processing times related to types of feeds and forages. In the past 5 years they have monitored how these best mixes have delivered in terms of feed efficiency.
Now all this information has been brought together into a special management-control system called PACE – Performance Acceleration and Control Enhancement.In essence, PACE combines feed information, production requirements and processing control to produce and monitor optimum Mech-fiber™ rations that consistently deliver performance to agreed production targets. Output data is constantly fed back into the input equation, so production and cost efficiency are continually being monitored and fine-tuned.
"It's a great feeling knowing your stock are being fully fed regardless of the time of year"

"The drought has knocked our stock around in the last few years, now with the Keenan my heifers and steers were gaining 2.2kg a day in May"
