Why it matters

Do you know what drives the cost of each formula?

Prices change all the time, and so does the cost of every formula.

  • Ingredient prices change every week.
  • Each nutrient target adds cost.
  • A mistake in a formula can cost you a whole batch.

It is hard to see which price or limit is driving the cost, and to check a formula before it goes to the mill.

Feedsoft puts the solver, the analysis and the approvals in one place, so this is quick to do.

Everything included

All the tools, in one plan

There are no tiers and no add-ons. Every user gets every tool below.

  1. Least-cost solver

    Find the lowest-cost formula

    Set your nutrient targets and ingredient limits. Feedsoft finds the cheapest mix that meets all of them, and shows the amount, cost and shadow price of each ingredient.

    • Nutrient targets, ingredient limits and nutrient ratios
    • As-fed or dry-matter basis
    • Uses your own price lists, and warns you when stock is low
  2. Analysis

    See why you got this result

    Feedsoft shows you why each ingredient is in the formula. This makes it easy to explain a formula to a customer or to your QA team.

    • Shadow prices for ingredients and nutrients
    • Test price and nutrient changes on any row
    • See what each ingredient adds, and compare formulas side by side
  3. When a formula fails

    No solution? Feedsoft shows you how to fix it

    When your targets conflict, Feedsoft tells you which limit is the problem and suggests a change that fixes it.

    • Shows which limit or target makes the formula impossible
    • Suggests a change that makes it work again
    • Finds minimums that are higher than maximums, and ratios that conflict
  4. Multi-Blend

    Plan several formulas at once

    Solve several formulas together when they share the same ingredient stock. Scarce ingredients go where they are worth the most.

    • One solve for all formulas in the blend
    • Shared ingredient limits across all formulas
    • Total cost, cost per formula and the value of scarce ingredients
  5. Premixes

    Make a premix once and reuse it

    Create a premix as its own formula, then use it as an ingredient in other formulas. Cost and nutrients are added up for you.

    • Use formulas as ingredients in other formulas
    • Total cost per batch and per unit
    • See which formula or ingredient supplies each nutrient
  6. Cost forecasts

    See what your formulas will cost next quarter

    Create price scenarios and see how formula costs change over time. Contract prices stay fixed until their end date.

    • Start scenarios from your price lists or past prices
    • Lock an ingredient price until a contract date
    • Warnings for long lead times and price lists that expire
  7. Approvals and versions

    Approve every formula before it goes out

    Each formula is approved by the customer, R&D and QA before release. Every released version is saved, so you can compare them.

    • Customer, R&D and QA approvals
    • Version history, with side-by-side comparison
    • Safety rules per species, and alerts that can stop a release

Also included

  • Several mills, each with its own prices and stock
  • 64 ingredients and 53 nutrients to start with
  • Ready-made data for 14 species, from broilers to shrimp
  • Nutrients calculated from your own equations
  • Ingredient and nutrient table, with CSV import
  • Formula reports and batch sheets you can print
  • 5 users, with roles: Owner, Manager, Formulator and Viewer
