The Story So Far
Since 1982, Kelvin Cave Ltd has pioneered and developed proven and affordable products and systems to enable livestock farmers to make more use of their home-grown feeds.
Our success is due to an experienced team of farming and livestock professionals who share knowledge in practical farming and livestock nutrition. We run a herd of pedigree South Devon cattle on our farm in the picturesque Somerset Levels. This provides a unique advantage over our competitors because we can test and observe new products and feeding techniques first-hand in a ‘real farm’ setting.
Through effective preservation of home-grown forages and concentrates we have shown many hundreds of farmers throughout the British Isles that they can safeguard against supply shortages and fluctuating market prices and eliminate or reduce dependency on bought-in feeds. Our preservative products and processing equipment help them to produce feeds with high nutrient value and digestibility that require only easy, low-cost storage. For example, earlier harvesting, crimping and ensiling of cereal crops results in energy and protein concentrates of high nutrient value and digestibility, broadens the window for combining, allowing greater flexibility, best use of manpower and machinery, and more efficient allocation of land.
