A practical poultry feed formulation app
Poultry feed formulation involves selecting ingredients and combining them in suitable quantities to meet a bird's nutritional needs at a manageable cost. In practice, farmers must also work with changing ingredient prices, differences in ingredient availability and the realities of mixing feed on the farm.
FeedCel brings these decisions into a clear mobile workflow. Instead of relying only on copied formulas or repeating a formula after market conditions have changed, users can select the bird category and production stage, identify the ingredients available today and enter current prices.
The app then presents a practical formula, estimated cost and mixing information that can be reviewed before feed is prepared.
