KUHN LAUNCHES TRIPLE GANG MOWER CONDITIONER Kuhn launches triple gang mower conditioner with integrated swath grouper

he FC 9330 RA is KUHN’s new mounted mower conditioner combination with fully integrated swath grouping units capable of delivering the machine’s 9.3 metre cut into one swath in a single pass. To ensure full adaptability according to forage type, prevailing conditions or the pick-up width of forage harvesters and balers, the swath width can be adjusted between 1.8m and 3.6m, or the groupers can be lifted out of work to leave the cut and conditioned grass spread. When working at the headlands, one of the two conveyors making up the grouper can be operated independently with the other out of work. The grouper attachment has been designed with a new frame and support arm configuration, when compared with earlier models, to make the overall unit more compact and stable. Significant weight saving has been achieved with the use of aluminium in the conveyor belt frames. The conveyor belts are driven by two pumps supplied by

a dedicated tank integrated into the central frame, with all other operational functions (folding, lifting/lowering at the headlands, suspension) driven by a hydraulic unit connected to the tractor. This design avoids significant hydraulic requirements during work,

eliminates over-heating and increases responsiveness of all machine functions.

operating width and the front-mounted unit is 3.1m. A generous 42cm overlap on each side ensures complete coverage when working on bends and slopes and gives an overall effective working width of 9.3m. Pivoting steel finger conditioning units are easily adjusted to suit forage and weather conditions using two lever-controlled speeds. A transfer plate is situation between the conditioners and the conveyor belts to prevent any crop loss. Control and monitoring of all machine functions can be carried out through an ISOBUS compatible onboard terminal or by using one of KUHN’s CCI 800 or CCI 1200 control units. The most common actions can also be controlled by KUHN’s CCI A3 joystick handle that has an integrated screen for displaying key functions. An integrated inclinometer can automatically control the conveyor belt speed according to the steepness of slopes. LED work lights are included as standard.

Ground following accuracy and cutting precision of the mowing units is aided by KUHN’s Lift Control hydropneumatic suspension system and Optidisc cutter Southam Agricultural Fields Farm, Station Road bars.

STABILISER CATTLE COMPANY PROGRESSES UK BEEF INDUSTRY

Stabiliser cattle compny progresses UK beef industry with first genomic enhanced EBVS

eef producers can now rapidly accelerate genetic progress with access to the UK’s first genomic enhanced estimated breeding values (GEBVs) for all production traits for beef animals through Stabiliser Cattle Company. “Genomic technology is a gamechanger for the beef industry, allowing producers to make databacked decisions early on in an animal’s life for faster genetic development,” explains Seth Wareing, SCC Business Manager. “This is not only extremely beneficial for pedigree producers making breeding decisions within their herds, but for commercial producers wanting to improve the genetics they bring into their herds.” Understanding genomics Thousands of genes contribute to all aspects of an animal’s life from disease resilience to carcass traits. When a DNA sample is tested and compared to a large database of similar genetic type animals, it is possible to identify the differences in the sampled animal’s genes against the larger population, therefore allowing for reliable predictions of how the sampled animal will perform in its lifetime. “Whenever you have a mating of an animal, there is going to be huge variation in the offspring – you do not get a halfway house of a dam and a sire. If you did, every animal would be consistent in everything. In reality, some animals will perform more like the dam and some will perform

more like the sire, and sometimes the offspring will outperform the sire and the dam,” says Mr Wareing. “Genomics allow us to move faster by determining if a calf is going to be a good or poor performer in particular traits so we can make educated breeding decisions to accelerate genetic improvement.” Ten years into genomic testing, the UK dairy industry has made significant strides in genetic improvement. Data from Zoetis (the DNA testing partner for SCC) shows that before genomics, the rate of gain was increasing by 100 points every five years. When sire testing started, this increased the rate of gain to 100 points every two years. However, once females were tested to allow producers to make highly accurate genetic predictions for both sides of the lineage, rate of gain accelerated to 100 points every year. “This kind of rapid genetic progress is what we are expecting to see within the Stabiliser breed within the next few years,” explains Mr Wareing. “It doesn’t matter what the trait is, if you are selecting males and females with GEBVs, you can achieve genetic progress faster than the conventional selection process.” Importance of data For genomic evaluations to be possible, a large gene pool of at least 10,000 animals is required, with accuracy increasing as the size of the gene pool increases. Nearly two years ago, SCC

started working with Zoetis to gather and analyse DNA samples through its HD50K genomicenhanced genetic evaluation, drawing on Stabiliser genetics in the UK, US and around the world. “Accuracy of data is a key part of developing genomic predictions,” explains Mr Wareing. “Since comprehensive data collection has been at the core of our multiplier model for nearly 25 years and the SCC’s link to Stabiliser genetic analysis in the US, we’ve been able to compile a large database with proven performance data in vast array of environments. Where genomics and EBVs converge Genomics provides producers with higher accuracy, more reliable EBVs for young animals, says Dr Kent Andersen, Director of Technical Services for Zoetis. “EBVs have been used for a long time to give us the best predictions of genetic merit expressed in our next generation, to allow producers to distil what component of an animal’s recorded performance is a result of the farm’s management system and what component of it is a result of its genetic merit,” says Dr Andersen. “EBVs are predictions. Until an animal is highly proven and we know it’s true breeding value, this prediction could go up or down. GEBVs jumpstart the accuracy of an EBV to get a better prediction earlier of the true breeding value for those animals.”

MAKE MAGNESIUM SUPPLEMENTATION PART OF GRASS TETANY PREVENTION

With the right management plan in place, grass tetany is preventable for beef, dairy and sheep farmers.

ith the right management plan in place, grass tetany is preventable for beef, dairy and sheep farmers. Dr Alison Bond, nutritionist for Rumenco, outlines what to include. As grass growth begins to pick up, beef, dairy and sheep producers need to implement strategic practices to prevent grass tetany, says Dr Alison Bond, nutritionist for Rumenco. “Grazed grass is a great feed source but very low in dry matter,” she says. “This means some of the nutrient levels are diluted and it can be difficult for animals to eat sufficient levels, in particular, magnesium intake can be low resulting in magnesium deficiency, otherwise known as grass staggers, grass tetany or hypomagnesaemia.” While all grazing livestock are vulnerable to grass tetany if a magnesium deficiency is present, beef and dairy cows four to eight weeks post-calving and ewes three to four weeks post-lambing are at most risk as energy stores are stressed approaching peak lactation. “True to being referred to as grass staggers, tell-tale signs of magnesium deficiency are excitement and muscular spasms in stock. Subclinical cases typically result in decreased dry matter intakes, milk yields and body condition,” says Dr Bond. “But unfortunately, the first sign of grass tetany is typically a dead

animal, often with froth from the mouth and nose and signs of ground paddling.”

While salt aids in magnesium absorption, potassium and nitrogen block it.

Research indicates that 19 percent of dairy farms and 23 percent of suckler beef farms experience grass tetany. In dairy herds, 30 percent of cases result in death, with a conservative cost of approximately £2 million per annum in the UK.

“High potassium forages or fields that have been treated with nitrogen and potassium fertilisers can imbalance and interfere with magnesium absorption. If you are going to fertilise, then don’t put animals that are at high risk on to them,” says Dr Bond.

“Grass tetany is a common disease during the spring grass flush that results in loss of animals every year – however, it is completely preventable with the right management in place,” says Dr Bond. Below, she outlines six management practices to include in a grass tetany prevention plan. Offer supplementary salt At the very least, grazing stock need to be supplemented with salt since the absorption of magnesium from the rumen is dependent upon sodium. “Research has shown that without adequate sodium in the animal’s blood, the body will grab onto the most available cation, in this case, magnesium, followed by calcium. Therefore, salt licks can be a valuable supplement to ruminants grazing pasture low in sodium to help prevent grass tetany from occurring,” says Dr Bond. Minimise use of nitrogen and potassium fertilisers

High potassium will also negatively affect magnesium uptake by plants and the availability of the forage magnesium to the animal, with recommendations that the potassium level in grass should not exceed 2.5 percent. Choose your fields carefully for grazing. Not only will a field’s fertiliser programme impact magnesium levels, so will the age of the ley and species within it. “Younger, faster growing leys can present more magnesium deficiencies than older, slower growing pastures,” explains Dr Bond. “This risk can be minimised by supplementing with a palatable magnesium source or by allocating new leys to less vulnerable stock until grass growth has slowed down.” An alternative way to increase the magnesium supply to grazing stock is through the use of clovers, which contain two times the amount of magnesium than grasses.

SPEARHEAD CROWNS ATTLEFIELD MACHINERY DEALER OF THE YEAR 2020 A specialist machinery supplier near Daventry has been named Spearhead’s Dealer of the Year 2020

specialist machinery supplier near Daventry has been named Spearhead’s Dealer of the Year 2020. Noted for tremendous energy and after sales support, the owner, Henry White, is just 29 years old. Attlefield Farm Machinery first stocked Spearhead equipment three years ago. During the last 18 months, their sales performance placed them at the top of Spearhead’s league table. Henry White comes from a well-known family with industry heritage. His father, Patrick White, runs PJ Services, the well-known international haulage company. The White family also run farms in Poland. They used a 450-9S flex-wing topper to bring the farm back into production after 20 years of being fallow. As a youngster, this, Henry says first sparked his interest in the product. An impressive single site dealer In his early 20s, Henry started selling quad bikes. Today, he operates from brand new purpose-built premises with Spearhead equipment at the helm. The Hellidon site includes fully stocked showrooms, offices, and wellrun workshops. For a fledgling dealer, the level of investment

and product knowledge is impressive. After sales service is a huge focus for Attlefield Farm Machinery. Stocking plenty of Spearhead parts, they strive to get machinery back in the field quickly. They also deliver parts - next day – with regular demand from across the UK and Europe. Notably, Henry says: “Holding a continual stock of the renowned Multicut 460, 620, and the impressive new Sniper series flail mowers has been key to our success. They are the type of item you must be able to supply immediately.” Attlefield and Spearhead teamwork Attlefield Farm Machinery’s success is also down to the fantastic relationship between themselves and Spearhead. Working closely with Jack Norton (Spearhead Area Sales Manager) Henry is always on the front foot with Spearhead developments. He is also in daily contact with Steven Nel (Spearhead Parts Manager) in Spearhead’s parts department, ensuring he is carrying the correct items to support Spearhead’s wide range of products. The dealer’s success has been helped by nurturing this teamwork. Says Henry:

“I’m delighted Attlefield Farm Machinery has been named Spearhead Dealer of the Year.

It’s great recognition for the team here and I’m happy to keep building on the high standards that we have set ourselves. To my advantage, Spearhead takes centre stage here and I believe we give the brand the energy and attention it rightly deserves. There’s incredible demand for robust mowing and cutting machines across the UK. I couldn’t be prouder to align my business with the quality of Spearhead.” Jack Norton recently presented Attlefield Farm Machinery’s trophy to Henry. Spearhead nominates a Dealer of the Year annually, basing the decision on dealer promise and success. Spearhead Machinery Ltd was established in 1988. The company specialises in the design and manufacture of rotary mowers and mulchers, flail mowers, and reach arm mowers for vegetation management and control. Spearhead machines are designed to last. Built with no shortage of strength, they are renowned as extremely tough pieces of equipment with an extensive service life.

TRACTORS AND FORAGE HARVESTERS TAKE THE LEAD John Deere Machine Sync enables machines to exchange data on the move and allows operators to guide a tractor and trailer

ohn Deere Machine Sync enables machines to exchange data on the move and allows combine operators to guide a tractor and trailer alongside the harvester. This unique system is now also available for forage harvesters and tractors to take control during other crop unloading operations. Machine Sync was introduced in 2012 and John Deere remains the only supplier of an integrated system. The technology is especially useful during night-time operations and long working days. The global navigation satellite system (GNNS) based synchronisation allows combines to automatically control the speed and travel

direction of tractors and trailers relative to the combine. Machine Sync therefore makes harvesting safer and reduces stress for the operators. It also eliminates waste during unloading and avoids damage to both machines and crops, even at higher driving speeds. The technology is not just applicable to combine harvesters but also to all harvesting processes where crops are continuously loaded into trailers. As a result, John Deere is now offering Machine Sync for use on self-propelled forage harvesters and tractors. In particular, customers working with trailed elevator machinery harvesting

potatoes, carrots and vegetables will benefit from this advanced technology. The system also delivers significant assistance and productivity gains to vegetable growers during planting applications. For operation, Machine Sync requires JDLink telematics, a StarFire satellite receiver and a Gen4 Premium display with automation activation. Most customers would select all these components exfactory when ordering a new tractor and/or self-propelled machine, although retrofitting is also possible.

RSPCA ASSURED RETURNS TO MANDATORY ASSESSMENTS THIS MONTH RSPCA Assured has announced a return to 100% in-person assessments from 17th May 2021

SPCA Assured returns to mandatory in-person assessments this month RSPCA Assured has announced a return to 100% in-person assessments from 17 May 2021. These will be mandatory for all members. However, the assurance scheme said visits will continue to be ‘contactless’ with the safety and welfare of both members and their animals remaining a priority. A new graphic on RSPCA Assured’s website illustrates the steps that will be taken to achieve the return to inperson assessments, and members have been written to informing them of the process. All of the dates are in line with the current UK and devolved administration planning and RSPCA Assured will continue monitoring the roadmap as it progresses. RSPCA farm livestock officers, who carry out monitoring of RSPCA Assured members between assessments, will also fully resume in-person visits from 17 May. Even when all legal limits on

social contact are lifted, both RSPCA Assured assessors and RSPCA farm livestock officers will continue to carry out all visits using the scheme’s ‘contactless assessment protocol’ Commenting on the return to in-person visits Clive Brazier, CEO RSPCA Assured, said: “Desktop assessments and monitoring visits have been a great temporary solution for some of our members during this difficult period, to safeguard the welfare of both them and their animals. “But there is nothing more important to assure ourselves, the public, and our members of the welfare of their farm animals, than seeing them face to face. It’s what RSPCA Assured is all about. Our assessors and the RSPCA’s farm livestock officers can’t wait to get back on all farms, doing what they love best.” Almost three-quarters of assessments carried out by RSPCA Assured in 2020 were in-person, despite the unprecedented challenges of Covid-19 and Avian Influenza (AI). Out of a total of 3,535 assessments last year, 72% (2,541) of these were

conducted in person, with the remaining 994 carried out via live video streaming. In addition, 93% (867) of monitoring visits – carried out on RSPCA Assured farms by RSPCA farm livestock officers – last year were in person. Desktop assessments – carried out via live video streaming – were temporarily made compulsory by RSPCA Assured from 17 April for six weeks, when COVID-restrictions were at their tightest. But, from 1 June onwards, in-person assessments resumed on a case by case basis (with the mutual consent of both member and assessor), with live video assessments remaining a temporary option. Between 17 April – when desktop assessments were first rolled out – and 31 December, 1,796 assessments were still achieved in person. These were all contactless and carried out according to the Government’s strict socialdistancing measures, as well as RSPCA Assured’s own biosecurity protocols.

WHAT RETAILERS WANT FROM PRODUCERS

What retailers want from producers on the agenda at Pig & Poultry Fair forums

t’s been a difficult year for the poultry industry, with COVID-19, Brexit and avian influenza all causing market disruption. So what might the emergence from lockdown look like?

GLOBAL POULTRY INDUSTRY OUTLOOK PREDICTS MORE MARKET DISRUPTIONS Global poultry industry outlook predicts more market disruptions and volatile feed prices

abobank’s latest poultry report notes the industry is facing major challenges due to COVID19-related market disruption, very high and volatile feed prices, avian influenza (AI) in the northern hemisphere, and volatility coming from a bumpy recovery in countries affected by African swine fever (ASF). As countries reopen foodservice, the poultry industry will start to recover, considering that on average 35% of global poultry consumption is via foodservice. “Key for producers in 1H 2021 will be to have a very disciplined supply growth, a focus on cost reduction via procurement, production efficiency, and

feed formulation, as well as being prepared for big swings in demand driven by COVID-19-related government decisions,” saId Nan-Dirk Mulder, senior analyst – Animal Protein at Rabobank. Global grain and oilseed prices increased further in Q1 2021, driven by La Niña-upended weather in key producing countries and an unprecedented and long-lasting import demand generated from China. This is a big challenge for chicken producers, as feed represents 60% to 70% of the cost of production. Rabobank expects ongoing high prices during 2021, but slightly down from the current Q1 2021 level. ASF’s impacts on pork

production also have an ongoing impact on poultry, regionally and globally. The two countries in Asia most affected by ASF, China and Vietnam, are both in recovery mode, with China expected to increase pork production by 8% to 10% this year and Vietnam by 8% to 12%. This recovery mode could impact local poultry producers and global trade. “China’s lower-than-expected pork production in Q1 2021 and low chicken production levels supported a chicken price recovery in Q1, but we think that the ongoing expansion of pork, together with further growth of chicken production, will deflate prices later this year. This will also impact import volumes in China,” said Mulder.

STEVE BIRCHALL FOUNDER AND OWNER OF STEVE BIRCHALL POULTRY SERVICES

“It’s not the most glamourous job, but we take price in what we do and the end result is rewarding” WHAT IS YOUR JOB IN A NUTSHELL? I am the founder and owner of Steve Birchall Poultry Services and I have three teams who travel the country cleaning all types of poultry houses. We even strip wash and rebuild traditional free range units, sell second hand diesel washers and supply a range of government approved soaps and disinfectants to your customers. HOW DID YOU END UP WHERE YOU ARE TODAY?

At a young age I was always on my grandad’s allotment, after school and at weekends helping out, or as he would call it “being a pain”. I had a fascination with the fancy fowl he kept; he taught me the basics, taught me to care.

at christmas. Working with Shaver breeds and broilers for Moy Park, I was farm manager for the last 8 years of my employment there.

So, in 1970 aged 15 and much to my dad’s disapproval, I left secondary school and went to start my working life at Maple Leaf Hatcheries in Lancashire, I attended Hutton Agricultural College on day release. Maple Leaf was local and to this day I still live in the area. I started work on one of their breeder sites and continued with the same company for the next 15 years.

During my time at Maple Leaf, I got to know many poultry farmers and one asked me if I fancied washing his poultry house for him. And so it began. I invested in a small van and with a 1500psi electric washer, off I went. As i got busier, I started to employ people to help. In the beginning it was mainly broiler sites but the expansion of traditional free-range and now multi-tier systems means those now make up most of our customer base.

I worked on caged sites, broiler sites, rearing farms and even did turkeys

In 1985, Maple Leaf closed and I was made redundant.

We travel all over the country keeping the poultry industry clean.

BRP TO INTRODUCE ELECTRIC MODELS BY THE END OF 2026

BRP to invest £300 million over the next five years to electrify its existing product lines by the end of 2026

he first product is expected to be introduced to the market within the next two years, followed by a rapid roll-out across all product lines. BRP is developing its Rotax modular electric powerpack technology in-house which will be leveraged across all product lines. BRP is creating an Electric Vehicle Development Centre in Canada, which will focus on the “energy side”: the charger and the battery pack, as well as the complete integration into the vehicle, and a second pole of development in Austria, which will focus on the “torque side”: the inverter and the high performance electric motor. BRP is actively recruiting to expand its EV team of experts. BRP announced its five-year plan where it will offer electric models in each of its product lines by the end of 2026. To achieve this, BRP plans to invest $300M over five years in product development, specialised equipment, infrastructure, production tooling and facilities. “We have always said electrification was not a question of ‘if’ but a question of ‘when’. Today, we’re very excited to unveil more details of our plan to deliver market-shaping products that will enhance the consumer experience by offering new

electric options,” said José Boisjoli, President and CEO. “We are leveraging our engineering know-how and innovation capabilities to define the best strategy for developing electric-powered products,” he added. After developing and evaluating several concepts, BRP has made the bold decision to develop its Rotax modular electric powerpack technology which will be leveraged across all product lines enhancing the consumer experience by offering new electric options. To achieve this, BRP is expanding its Rotax electric power unit development infrastructure in Gunskirchen, Austria, and is also creating the BRP Electric Vehicle Development Centre, located in its hometown of Valcourt, Quebec, Canada. This facility will feature state-of-the-art equipment, including several sophisticated test benches and dynamometers, plus an ultramodern robotised manufacturing cell for electric batteries. “We are thrilled to create our EV expertise centre, taking steps into the world of electrification,’’ said Bernard Guy, Senior Vice-President, Global Product Strategy. “Experts on our EV team will feel the agility of a startup environment but will benefit from BRP’s financial resources

and state-of-the-art equipment to design our in-house technology,” he added. BRP’s electric path In early 2019, BRP acquired assets of Alta Motors, an electric motorcycle manufacturer, and commercialised the Rotax Sonic E-Kart, which is currently in operation at the Rotax MAX Dome in Linz, Austria. A few months later, it showcased e-concepts at Club BRP 2019 to give a glimpse of what the future could hold for both its current product lines and for other potential segments. BRP has produced several batteryelectric, hybrid-electric and even fuel cell-electric vehicles over the years. Today’s announcement brings BRP’s electric journey further into focus, with a clear vision and firm plans to roll out its electric products. Expanding BRP’s electric vehicle development team The R&D team is expanding quickly, and BRP is recruiting for several positions as it moves to the next phase of its electric propulsion technology development. With involvement from Quebec, Austria, Finland and the United States, BRP’s top talent worldwide, including hundreds of engineers and specialised technicians, will work together to develop and produce electric vehicles at BRP.
