Feed formulation and ration calculation in one tool. Formulation as a Service (Faas), an initiative of Adifo and its partner network, offers the possibility to transfer knowledge through the production chain. This information is the base for the tool ‘multi model – multi species’ which enables users to use one single tool for feed formulation and ration calculation.
Information exchange
Together with its partner network, Adifo is a valuable partner for modern feed manufacturing companies. Especially in the area of data links, information exchange and knowledge sharing, Adifo offers added value. A concrete example of this is the FaaS (Formulation as a Service) platform, which allows optimal transfer of knowledge and cooperation between all parties in the value chain via the cloud. This platform was launched three years ago, and is highly valued worldwide. The latest development is the ‘FaaS: One Tool – Multi Model’ concept. This tool not only makes it possible to calculate rations according to the familiar standard models for cattle (such as CNCPS, NRC, Feed into Milk, etc.), but also to set up a fully independent model. In addition, FaaS can also be used to develop/optimise feeds for pigs and poultry.
Optimal model
This offers the advantage that each company can set up its own optimal animal model for different species in a central database and can share this knowledge via the cloud with customers, vendors and with the formulation division of the feed mill. Feed formulation and ration calculation are thus made available in a single tool. Adifo will demonstrate the “One tool: Multi model – multi species” ration calculation concept at Victam International in Cologne.
