Ashcourt Group’s Cost-Effective Alternative To Tarmac Surfacing
Ashcourt Group, a Yorkshire based independent building material supplier offer a great, cost-effective, alternative to tarmac surfacing. Roller Compacted Concrete or RCC for short is placed using a high compaction paver and PTR rollers directly on site. The concrete mix uses cement, water and aggregates and has no slump meaning it’s transported in tipper wagons rather than conventional concrete mixers. The mix is perfect for agricultural use, more specifically for access roads, yard resurfacing and shed bases.
One of the many benefits of RCC is that it’s quick to lay. Quick laying time means that your concreted area is back up and usable faster. With the heavy compaction of the concrete, it allows for even heavy plant and machinery to be used in just 3 days on the concreted area. The mix is laid by our professional Ashcourt team who have experience laying and treating RCC. Because the mix is so well compacted, it doesn’t require any reinforcing, dowel bars and formwork for construction, helping to reduce costs further. As well as having no slump, the mix is not consolidated with a vibratory poker. Levels are calculated using our special surveying equipment and can be graded towards any specified on-site drainage.

We use roller compaction of the laid and grooved material as the final part of the mechanical laying and compaction process. We use the roller as soon as possible to reduce moisture loss or ingress depending on weather conditions. The roller compaction is where the mix gets most of its strength for heavy plant and machinery. We also complete the application with a power-float finish which not only helps compaction, but it provides a completed look for the final product.
Ashcourt Group service the entirety of Yorkshire with their strategically located concrete plants which provides full mix control and use of the Group’s over 100-strong fleet of HGVs to service jobs. Ashcourt provide a free, no obligation quote which includes a site visit and initial consultation with our experienced RCC expert. Ashcourt Roller Compacted Concrete is a high-quality concrete product, which is designed, produced, transported, and supplied in accordance with our ISO 9001. Accredited quality scheme (QSRMC) and in accordance with the relevant parts of BS8500 Part 2 and BS EN206 Part1.

With the smaXtec health system, make the first step towards a healthier dairy herd – most precise heat detection included!
A healthy herd is the basis for your economic success. Only fit cows have a stable and high milk yield, a significantly reduced cell count, a lower insemination index, easier calvings and require less time for individual care.
To ensure or improve animal health, you have to keep a close eye on your cows at all times. This is the only way you can intervene early in case of health problems, thus prevent serious disease progression, save on antibiotics and costs
A number of issues can be recognised and solved through good observation and care but changing farm structures and sizes do not always allow for the ideal level of individual care. This is where the proven smaXtec technology supports you and detects health issues earliest possible.
Success through holistic monitoring with the smaXtec health system
The deeper the insights, the earlier you notice changes in your cows’ health status. smaXtec measures the meaningful parameters inner body temperature, rumination with smaXtec TruRumi™, activity and drinking behaviour in the highest quality directly in the reticulum. The collected data is automatically transmitted to the smaXtec Cloud and processed by the smaXtec TruD™ technology, where data is combined and supplemented. This is the basis for valuable recommendations for action and particularly helpful for the early detection of diseases. The more factors and symptoms are taken into consideration, the better, earlier and more accurate the recommendations.
As soon as the immune system reacts to pathogens or stress, for example, the inner body temperature changes – long before external signs become visible! As a result, the smaXtec system detects diseases up to 4 days before clinical symptoms become visible.
Monitoring animal health by temperature measurement offers another advantage: depending on the temperature change, you know what to check the cow for. If inner body temperature rises, it is an indication of a feverish condition, infection or inflammation. A drop in temperature, on the other hand, is an indication of a metabolic disease such as milk fever or ketosis.
In addition, continuous measurement of rumination allows you to draw even more precise conclusions about the disease and its severity. To make the unrivalled parameter package complete, smaXtec also measures drinking behaviour and activity, detecting issues such as lameness in a very early stage.
Steps ahead through early detection
Early detection allows you to intervene earliest possible, reduce the risk of serious disease progression and significantly reduce the use of medication, especially antibiotics. You can thus improve animal health and welfare and further increase the success on your farm. Customers report a reduced usage of antibiotics by up to 70% since using the smaXtec system.
With smaXtec early detection you detect diseases such as mastitis up to four days before clinical symptoms become visible. This way you are able to treat the cow with lighter medication such as an anti-inflammatory, avoid legal waiting periods caused by antibiotics, reduce the vet’s bill and workload.
Health, heat AND calving detection – is it possible?
smaXtec not only detects diseases earliest possible, by monitoring your animals 24/7 the system gives you the possibility to follow the recovery process of every cow over time. Thus, you are able to see if the treatment has made an impact on the health of the cow and when she has fully recovered.
Additionally, when using the smaXtec health system on your farm you receive precise and automatic heat detection as well earliest possible calving detection.
smaXtec detects heats for you and provides you with additional information on the ideal insemination time. Your benefits are shorter calving intervals, improved pregnancy rates, reduced insemination costs, ongoing productivity and much more.
smaXtec also supports you with reliable and early calving detection. The system not only monitors your cows’ health in the critical phase around birth, but you are also informed about imminent calving. You receive a notification on average 15 hours before calving, enabling you to take measures if necessary. This guarantees a problem-free calving and a good start for cow and calf.
The smaXtec system pays for itself
Customers report that the smaXtec system pays for itself within a very short period of time! But how?
By monitoring your herd’s health with smaXtec you ensure a stable, high milk yield with no loss of production. The system helps you to cut treatment costs by up to 30% and through early detection you are able to reduce use of antibiotics by up to 70%. Your cows are healthier and severe disease progression is 90% less likely. But also, reproduction figures, such as the calving intervals improve with the help of smaXtec.
The smaXtec health system helps you to be successful, reduce costs and workload on your farm.
Ready for your success. With smaXtec to a healthier herd. Get in touch now and implement the most comprehensive system for monitoring health and reproduction in dairy cows on your farm tomorrow!
