Version 5 for Windows - Beef Cattle

Beef heiferThe BEEF module can be used to formulate diets for fattening animals and young stock being reared for breeding. The animals requirements are determined according to body weight, rate of growth, sex and breed. The program calculates the rate of growth achievable for a given ration. Rations are assessed in terms of dry matter intake, energy, fibre, protein, minerals and fat. Financial performance is calculated in terms of margin over all feeds, concentrates and purchased feeds.

RUMNUT can be used to formulate rations to a range of protein systems; the revised UK MP system (1998-2001), the French PDI system (1989), the RDP/UDP system (Australia 1980) and the USA (USDA) system (2001). The systems run concurrently and the user can switch whilst running the program either via the main ration status bar or the 'Protein System' menu option.
