FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on getting started, features, data, integrations and delivery for cattle ration balancing software.

It is software that formulates, compares and optimizes feed rations for beef and dairy cattle. It combines feed nutrient data, animal requirements and ingredient prices so nutritionists can balance nutrition and cost without spreadsheets or manual calculations.

Cattle producers, feedlots, livestock nutrition companies, feed consulting firms, feed manufacturers and dairy operations that need accurate, repeatable ration formulation.

Yes. Beef rations are modeled around gain, intake and feed conversion, while dairy rations are modeled around milk output, lactation stage and dry matter intake, using NASEM-based nutrient equations.

After a short assessment of your nutrition workflow and feed data sources, we configure feed libraries, nutrient models and cost parameters, train your team and go live at the pen level.

Yes. Feed libraries, animal groups, nutrient constraints, ingredient limits, report templates and approval flows are configured around how your operation formulates and reviews rations.
