- Improved straw incorporation in all mixes;
- Minimised sorting by cows due to complete and consistent mixing, meaning every cow gets their allocation of straw, aiding digestion and benefitting health;
- Improved manure consistency; no loose dung, even with fresh milkers;
- Increased hoof health;
- A 10% increase in milk yield compared to 2019.
