Manage Feed Costs With Smart Nutrition

Manage Feed Costs With Smart Nutrition

Representing up to 50% of overall dairy production costs, feed is an important investment in your profitability. Cargill Animal Nutrition helps you maximize that investment with our nutrient-based approach to the business.

The nutrients in your feed affect overall health, milk production, reproduction and growth. In order to manage the supply of nutrients you must understand their quality and how they vary within your ingredients. With our Optimum Value Supplier Database™ we can source the best cost feed ingredients without sacrificing high nutritional value. Further, to ensure nutrients are supplied in a form that animals can readily digest, we measure individual physical characteristics with Ingredient Evaluation Tools. We translate that evaluation into a nutritional analysis you can use with our AutoCalc™ system.

Understanding the quality of your feed ingredients and their nutrient variability is the first step to ensuring a healthy and productive herd. We use this as a basis for formulating optimum diets. The MAX™ system offers you distinct advantages because it links to analysis results, ingredient information, and the latest research. Additionally, MAX can project ingredient use, track feed inventories and generate reports summarizing feed economics by diet or operation.
