Further below, you will find the data for the feeding table. Here you enter all values as average values for the group, so that neither high-yielding animals are too heavily undersupplied nor low-yielding animals too heavily oversupplied.

For the feed intake (DM) and the milk yield, a margin of ± 1 kg is then taken into account in the calculation according to the value you have entered.

This is necessary so that the feed health evaluation and the ration optimisation can be carried out sensibly according to various parameters (e.g. feed health, IOFC, nitrogen, …).

Note: For the milk yield, the average value of the group should be assumed that is actually to be milked with the calculated ration, i.e. not only the tank milk quantity of the group that is to be achieved, but also the blocked milk, calf milk, etc. should be taken into account.

Example view of fodjan pro dairy cow:

Max. Number of concentrates (dairy cow, beef cattle) means the maximum number of concentrates to be fed.

Max. Number of feedstuffs (fattening cattle only) means the total number of feedstuffs to be fed.

The information on residual feed and number of feedings is important later for exporting the rations for feed mixing technology (Pro only), when using the “Feed now” function (App only) and for the recipe of the ration. Read also:
