RUMINANT FEED PRODUCTION METHODS AND SYSTEMS

摘要

Methods, systems, and computer program products for use in producing feed for a ruminant utilize information about sources of blood meal to provide a formulation for an optimum and cost-effective feed. The ruminant feed has a minimum metabolizable nutrient level for at least one nutrient, e.g., protein. Ruminant feed may be produced by determining a metabolizable nutrient level in a low quality blood meal and determining a quantity of low quality blood meal for blending with a quantity of a high quality blood meal having a second metabolizable nutrient level to produce the ruminant feed having the minimum metabolizable nutrient level.
