Precision farming solutions for broilers

To help broiler farmers reduce input costs, detailed information and application control are essential.

Through the NutriOpt platform, Trouw Nutrition delivers the data and insights that farmers need to drive sustainable precision farming, better animal performance and overall success. We do this through a set of NutriOpt solutions focused on actionable analysis, actionable insights, optimal diets and optimal performance.

Actionable analysis

The numbers tell the tale. Livestock farming is no longer about guesswork; it revolves around capturing valuable data and insights to help broiler operations make better decisions and run the best business possible.

Given the wide variation in feedstuff quality, determining the exact composition of your ingredients is vital – not only to better match the nutritional needs of your broilers, but also to optimise feed costs.

By using the actionable analysis tools and services within NutriOpt, broiler producers can get a better grip on raw material quality and the nutritional value of feed ingredients. We offer fast, accurate and cost-effective desktop and mobile solutions to scan raw materials for different components, including protein, fibre fractions, reactive lysine, mycotoxins and more.

Actionable insights

Having access to farm data is one thing. It’s another to capture value from the data and to apply it to your daily farm management, feed routines or animal health plans.

NutriOpt offers a number of services that convert data into actionable insights and recommendations and visualizes it in an easy-to-understand way, using reports and dashboards. For mycotoxins, NutriOpt offers solutions to measure the amount of mycotoxins in the raw material and create actionable insights on contamination levels as well as recommended actions. The insights are based on a robust database from samples around the world.

Having accurate and actionable insights readily available gives farmers a better understanding of their exact broiler requirements, making it easier to formulate an effective strategy.

Optimal diets

To build the optimal diet, you need the right data, that is supported by actionable insights and able to be integrated with farm programmes such as the Least Cost Formulation (LCF) software used by feed advisors.

Creating the optimal animal diet depends on many factors, including the type of customer, region of the farm, availability of raw materials and specific farm goals. Farmers may want to use more by-products in their broiler diets, change their strategy to meet market demands or work towards reducing antimicrobial usage or Salmonella.

NutriOpt offers a range of services to help you reduce feed costs, improve the efficiency of your feed, and optimise broiler performance and feed testing. These services provide additional intelligence on Ca/P ratio, fibre and feed structure, among others.

Optimal performance

Before you implement a chosen strategy to increase broiler performance, animal health or overall farm efficiency, you want to be sure it is the right decision and the best course of action.

The NutriOpt Broiler model can help farmers achieve this certainty. This simulation and economic optimisation model shows the predicted growth rate of your birds on a certain diet and with a specific feed conversion rate and carcass and breast yield.

By using the model, farmers and nutritionists can successfully work on cost reduction, broiler performance and farm profitability.

Knowledge feeds success

When every decision impacts your animal performance and business success, you want to build on more than just intuition.
