Milk pricing and condition score scales

Milk pricing and condition score ranges can be altered by the user to reflect local circumstances

  • Condition scores can range from 1-5 (UK) or 1-8 (Australian)
  • Milk pricing
    • based on compositional and seasonality payments with an optional base price
    • schedule flexible to accommodate 'butter fat tonnage' based pricing. For example the first 25 litres of milk production can be priced at 35 c/l and after that the price is based on $3.00 per kg of butter fat produced. The quota could be set to percent rather than litres then the first 25% of production would be at 35 c/l and the remaining 75% at $3.00 per kg of butter fat produced.

International use

  • Currency symbols used on screen and in print outs can be dfined by the user

  • Local feed analyses can be added to feed database.

  • Price scaling

    UK sterling is a large unit of currency - most other currencies are worth less per unit. For example most dollars are worth less than a pound. In some countries this causes problems with range checking, displaying the price of the feeds, rations etc.

    Currencies can now be displayed in six ways

    • x 1 If most normal feed prices in local currency from 10- 300
      Eg UK sterling grass costs £18/T fresh, soya £160
      Feed and ration costs shown as £n.nn, milk as nn.n p/l

    • x 10 If most normal feed prices in local currency from 50 - 1000
      Feed and ration costs shown as £n.nn, milk as £n.nn

    • x 100 If most normal feed prices in local currency from 100 - 10,000
      Feed and ration costs shown as £nnn, milk as £nn.nn

    • x 1000 If most normal feed prices in local currency from 1,000- 100,000

      Feed and ration costs shown as £nnnnn, milk as £nnn

    • x 10000 If most normal feed prices in local currency from 10,000- 1,000,000
