Feed intelligence

What you formulated, against what the lab actually found

Available

A feed programme and a production dip are usually discussed in separate conversations, weeks apart. Here they sit on the same flock record, on the same timeline.

Formulations

Versioned, with a lifecycle that reflects how nutritionists work

A formulation is not a single row that gets edited. It moves through states, and every analysis records the version it was measured against.

  1. Draft
  2. Under review
  3. Approved
  4. Active
  5. Retired

Nutrient targets

A target value per nutrient, with a minimum, a maximum and a tolerance. The tolerance is what turns a raw variance into a judgement.

Effective dates

Formulations apply over a period, so a result can be checked against the formulation that was actually in use that week.

Diet history

The weekly record carries the diet name, so a change of feed shows up as a marker on the performance chart.

Analysis

Measured against theoretical, with the reasoning shown

Upload the laboratory report or enter the values directly. Each nutrient is compared against the target for the relevant formulation version and scored pass, warning or fail based on the tolerance the nutritionist set — not a generic rule of thumb.

  • Measured and theoretical are always distinguishable

    The interface never blurs what was formulated with what was found.

  • Variance is shown as a number and a judgement

    A five percent deviation matters for some nutrients and not others. The tolerance decides which.

  • Trends, not just snapshots

    A nutrient that drifts across four consecutive analyses is a different problem from one that missed once.

  • It reaches the report

    Feed analysis is part of the consultation report, alongside production and comments.

Illustrative analysis result

Crude protein 16.4 vs 16.5 pass
Calcium 3.71 vs 4.10 warning
Available phosphorus 0.42 vs 0.42 pass
Methionine 0.33 vs 0.38 fail

Values shown for illustration. Nutrient catalogue, laboratory formats and comparison rules are finalised with the nutrition team.

Have a formulation and a lab report handy?

Those two documents make for a far more useful conversation than a slide deck.
