Context
Animal feed is at the heart of the technical, economic, and environmental challenges facing livestock farming. Drawing on its research centers, Mixscience develops recognized knowledge and expertise: the major scientific principles of nutrition, as well as original concepts, which are translated into specific nutritional criteria and validated by response models that account for digestive interactions. These technical advances are made available to technicians and nutritionists through a powerful and user-friendly tool.
- Icownic is a rationing software dedicated to dairy and beef ruminants (cattle, sheep, and goats), which enables accurate prediction of milk or meat production potential.
Deliverables
- Prediction of a farm’s milk or meat performance per animal
- Clear and educational presentation of the ration and its predicted performance
- Comparison of two scenarios from technical, economic, and environmental perspectives
- Recommendation of the most appropriate nutritional strategy to follow to achieve a target performance goal
Key features
Based on input data from a farm (production type, breed, milk production, or target ADG), the software accurately calculates the nutritional requirements of the animals in question.
Thanks to a large database of available ingredients (raw materials, formulated feeds, forages, and minerals), Icownic enables the creation of rations that meet the animals’ needs precisely.
Equipped with various features, Icownic is an essential tool in the field for adjusting rations and selecting the most appropriate formulated feeds, with the goal of meeting the farmer’s objectives in terms of milk quantity and quality, meat production, protein efficiency, feed efficiency, technical-economic balance, and even decarbonization.
Icownic is a tool designed for livestock farming, designed to be clear, precise, intuitive, and easy to use.
