Upgrade RUMNUT v5 to newest version 5.2 more...... |
 |
The RUMNUT Computer Package (more ...) is a suite of programs that takes the latest, complex, international (UK, French, USA, Australia) feeding standards and uses the power of the computer to resolve the mathematical complexities of their application whilst the user can concentrate on the 'art' of ration formulation. In version 5.2 for Windows the user can select to assess rations by any combination of five international protein assessment systems. Once an initial ration has been drawn up changes can be made rapidly to determine the best combination of ingredients for a specific ration and an integral 'ration advisory system' used to identify any potential rationing problems . The program is available in a range of formats and in now in use on over 600 sites through-out the world.
Courses (more ...) RUMNUT organises courses on nutrition for veterinary surgeons, feed advisors and consultants. This year there will be two courses. We plan to run the long established 'Feeding the Dairy Cow - Practice and Principles' course near Chard in Somerset in June 2009. We also plan to run the level two course suitable for delegates with at least five years experience 'Feeding the Dairy Cow - Providing and on-farm Service' in October 2009 in Biarritz in France.
Consultancy (more ...) Consultancy is available in a number of forms to suit your needs. I carry out farm based ration formulation with regular farm visits and email support in between. Alternatively in conjunction with the farm's on-site advisors I can offer remote trouble-shooting. I also give talks and seminars to farmer groups, veterinary groups, farm and company staff and educational establishments.
