App Profile: On-farm Feed Advisor

The On-farm Feed Advisor helps extension staff to advise farmers on how to balance their animals’ diet by matching nutrients and production in the feed offered, based on the animal body weight, milk production and stage of pregnancy. The application selects the cheapest locally available feeds to bridge the nutritional gap. The results are given in the form of an advice memo with information including cost of feeding and additional income before and after balancing the diet.
