Value My Ingredients

Ingredients cause the largest single source of variation in your business. Variation due to growing season, field location, processing changes, grinding micron size, and many other factors alter actual nutrient loadings and, ultimately, pig performance. Careful understanding and disciplined measurement of incoming ingredients increases the probability of achieving the expected pig performance and business results.

Consider our leading-edge, practical tools to assist your efforts:

• AutoCalc� system updates the nutrient loadings of various ingredients.
• Grain Particle Scorer provides an easy on-site measurement of particle size, allowing easy adjustment of nutrient content or diet formulation.
• Optimum Value Suppler Database™ helps manage the variation of over 180 ingredients supplied from 1,100 firms and assayed from 50,000 samples.

These tools -- coupled with our nutrient vocabulary (e.g., net energy, true digestible amino acids & phosphorus, ideal carbohydrate ratio) provide the keys in supplying the right nutrients ... to the right pig ... at the right time.

Expect it. Employ it. Experience it.
