An AI-powered app for nutritional advisory and feed order management has been developed for over 1,000 dairy and beef farmers.

Proveye - specialists in AI-powered remote sensing and data analytics - and Miljo have partnered to deliver the new service which aims to increase dairy and beef production while optimising feed value.

The nutritional and feed management app encompasses advanced grassland measurement, grass cover insights, along with award-winning nutritional advisory services, to feed mills and farmers across the country.

Howard Farms, one of Munster’s leading agricultural feed and nutrition providers, will offer this new service to its customers.

Farmers will benefit from this new service by:

  • A single integrated app combining pasture management and nutritional planning and feed order management.
  • Growing more grass with daily pasture measurements and growth forecasts for every paddock, enabling better grazing decisions.
  • Optimising grass usage and maximising the value of purchased concentrates.
  • Optimising animal performance with tailored nutritional plans linked directly to real-time milk and beef and grazing data.
  • Hands-on support from trusted on-the-ground advisers, blending digital tools with practical on-farm guidance.
  • "Our partnership with Miljo represents a major milestone in making advanced remote sensing tools accessible at farm scale,” said Proveye CEO Jerome O’Connell.

    “By combining our AI technology with Miljo’s nutritional advisory platform, we are empowering farmers to make faster, data-driven decisions that increase efficiency, sustainability and profitability."

    Miljo COO Aoife Drennan said that the company's mission has always been to optimise dietary balance while minimising environmental impacts resulting in improved herd performance.

    “Working with Proveye allows us to offer our customers the most advanced grassland monitoring technology available, fully integrated with our nutritional advisory and feed management platform.

    "This will help farmers optimise grazing, make better feeding decisions, and improve herd nutrition and health.

    "It will also allow our feed mill customers to have a more integrated and impactful relationship on their customers’ farms," Drennan said.

    Patrick Howard from Howard Farms said that "this is a step change in how to help our farmers unlock higher efficiency, improved sustainability and stronger profitability".
