This solution is basically okay, provided one has a good knowledge of Excel and only wants to calculate a few rations or mixes per year. If this is the case, then it is not worth buying professional feed software. The major problem is often the very idiosyncratic structure of the Excel tables, which makes work and achieving fast results difficult. If daily ...
As a feed producing company the volumes to process, the legislation imposed and the time pressure to get feed to the market are so high you cannot do this without an appropriate tool. The fact that we deliver our software already close to 50 years to the industry is only more proof that the feed industry saw the need to digitize their data and ...

When conducting an air dispersion modeling analysis with the AERMOD modeling system, modelers may encounter situations where they want to validate or verify the model’s calculations. To support this, the model has the ability to generate Debugging Output Files of intermediate calculation results. ...
Measuring Dry Matter Accurately On-Farm With an Affordable Consumer Appliance When assessing the health and productivity of your dairy herd, dry matter intake (DMI) is one of the key data points to consider. If DMI is low, productivity suffers no matter the quality of the ration. Moreover, with low DMI, maintaining cow health becomes that much more ...
Producers of feed products, no matter how well prepared, can always be faced with unexpected events that disrupt or even derail the production process. Weather conditions, for example, often dictate the quality of ingredients and subsequently also the composition of feed recipes and the diet of the ...

When intending to analyze the servicing duration of a strainer, it can be calculated through the ration of open area with the pipe-cross section. ...
Feed formulation software is no longer just about making feed. The complexity of legislation on food safety, declaration, hazardous materials and others in an ever-globalising industry has grown stronger over the last couple of years. We sat down with BESTMIX® product manager Lynn Verstrepen and discussed the importance of feed management and its effects on operational efficiency. ...

Before we decided to include geostatistical approach in our projects, we were used to produce contamination maps based on very simple interpolation methods and empirical calculations. We needed a rational solution which enabled us to justify undoubtedly our ...
The gas-film mass transfer coefficient (kG) was found relatively in sensitive to the choice of the fetch parameter, deviating less than 15% for aspect rations up to 15. The calculation of the liquid-film mass transfer coefficient (kL) was much more sensitive (positive extreme of 126.98% and negative extreme of −54.80%), partially because of the use of different ...
Sulphur dioxide (SO2) abatement is attracting wide attention, with its generation increasing rapidly in China. In this paper, we calculate the SO2 rational abatement ratio (SRAR) of 30 regions in China from 1990 to 2005, by applying Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) based on the regional own production frontier. ...
Industrial Solid Waste (ISW) abatement is attracting wide attention, with its generation increasing rapidly in China. In this paper, we calculate the ISW rational abatement ratio (IRAR) of 30 regions in China from 1990 to 2005, by applying Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). ...
