Feedlync feed management system included in FETF grant funding

With the latest round of the Farming Equipment and Technology Fund (FETF) 2026 now launched in England, and open until midday on 28 April, it has been confirmed that the Feedlync digital feed management system, available through KW Feeds, is now eligible for funding (Item FETF421).

While there is only a small window to apply, with a contribution of £1398 towards the cost of the system available to successful applicants, there is no requirement to place an order or commit to anything before the grant application is processed and approved.

Therefore, producers are urged to act now, and follow the simple grant application process at rpagrants.defra.gov.uk/welcome/. The grant funding is available to farm businesses based and registered in England.

Connecting straight into the mixer’s weighing system, Feedlync ensures feed is mixed consistently and accurately so that the correct ration is delivered every time. This helps to save on feed costs, reduce wastage and support healthy cow performance.

It shows exactly what was fed, when, and by who, giving a clear oversight, and reliable data, to manage the farm.

With active monitoring and real-time data exchange, integrated seamlessly with external processor and herd management systems, the Feedlync system provides a complete overview of feed-intake, efficiency and costs.

Users can see production costs on a per cow or group basis, leading to better, accurate and informed decision making. Producers can quickly and easily analyse feed accuracy, allowing for an instant overview of usage and consumption.

Operated via the iOS or Android app and an online portal, the system is completely cloud based. This enables farm nutritionists to manage the diets even when not on farm. They can change the rations, update ingredient analysis, and manage pens and groups on the go.

With less feed used to produce a litre of milk, users can expect a return on investment within an average of just 94 days. With grant support, these returns could be met even earlier.
