Guide farmers and animal nutrition actors
Animal nutrition is a major economical and environmental issue. In a situation of prices variations, quality variations and unregular supplies of raw materials, formulation can bing reliable solutions for farmers.
We developed Feed access application in order to help developing countries farmers to optimize feed for their livestock. Feed access simplifies feed formulation and provide a balanced recipe for layers, broilers, sows, pigs, tilapia or catfish.
Make formulation accessible
Feed ac
cess is a helpful formulation tool for:
- farmers who want to make their own feed, valorize local ingredients or what they produce on their farm
- small feed producers
- technicians or agronomists working in animal nutrition
- students and researchers
Formulation consists in composing a balanced mix at least cost. It requires to know:
- the nutritional value and the price for each ingredient (raw material) available
- the nutritional requirements for animals at the different growing or production stage
The Feed access application calculates a least cost feed depending on raw material prices and animal nutritional requirements. It has been designed to make formulation accessible regardless of the user technical skills in animal nutrition. Feed access is 100% free and available in 3 languages (english, french, spanish).
Better natural ressources management
Provide a helful formulation tool can solve various difficulties farmers are facing:
- quality and price variations of raw materials
- limited supply or supply difficulties for some raw materials
- insufficient knowledge in animal nutrition
Formulation offers lots of advantages to farmers:
- use a reliable diet that effectively meets animal nutritional needs
- reduce production costs while limiting waste of agricultural ressources and optimizing its use
- decrease livestock farming impact on the envionment as it limits wastes in livestock farming and optimizes arable lands available for agriculture
Our ambition is to promote feed formulation and enable in the short and medium term to:
- galvanize agricultural supply chains, in particular in rural areas, helping them to perform well
- reinforce farmers' financial and food safety, helping them to be less dependent on importations
- promote food sovereignty with locally produced and consumed animal proteins
