    摘要: A method that accounts for environmental factors by measuring the starch and fiber degradation characteristics of a variety of genetically different crop plants and grain from crop plants in real time to determine how the crop plants should be conserved, processed and blended into a feed formulation that results in optimum productivity of the ruminant animal. A method further including determining starch digestibility characteristics of a set of crop plant samples comprising grain of said crop plant; developing a prediction equation based on said starch digestibility characteristics, obtaining a grain sample from a crop plant, determining in real time starch digestibility characteristics by NIRS of said sample by inputting data from said NIRS into said equation, storing and/or milling said grain on an identity preserved basis, and determining the amount of said crop plant to incorporate into a feed formulation based on the starch digestibility characteristics.

    摘要: A system and a method for providing farmers/producers with crop characteristic predictions for standing crops located in fields includes a central database for storing field and crop information for the crops. A weather data processor receives raw weather data from either or both of (1) a weather data service with collected weather data from a plurality of weather stations; and (2) one or more site-specific weather stations associated with a particular field whose information is in the database. The raw weather data are processed to obtain field weather parameters for entry into a crop characteristic prediction equation, and the parameters are stored in the central database. With a user interface, a crop whose information is stored in the central database is selected. A computer calculates a crop characteristic prediction for the selected field based on the crop and field information stored in the central database, including the field weather parameters in the database, and the crop characteristic prediction formula. The producer uses the prediction to determine time of harvest. In one embodiment, the crops are alfalfa crops and the crop characteristic is neutral detergent fiber content.

    摘要: A computer-based system for characterizing in real time the nutritional components of one of more ingredients for a ruminant feed ration, including dry matter, NDF, NDFd, lignified NDF ratio, peNDF, percent starch, IVSD, and particle size for a forage material; and IVSD and particle size for a grain material. The system utilizes proprietary NIRS equations based upon prior samplings of a variety of crop species like dual-purpose corn silage, leafy corn silage, brown midrib (“BMR”) corn silage, grass (silage/dry), alfalfa (silage/dry), BMR forage sorghum, normal dent starch grain, floury endosperm starch grain, vitreous endosperm grain, and steam-flaked corn grain, and applies those equations to current samplings of a corresponding crop to predict in real time the characteristics of such forage or grain material. The real-time characterization system may also utilize the predicted data to calculate a “total ration fermentation index” value that takes into account the total NDFd and IVSD characteristics (including RAS and RBS) of the forage and starch ingredients to be used in a feed ration to ensure that the ration will not contribute too much or too little digestibility to the cow. A “flash fermentation index” identifies feed formulations, based upon the real-time characterizations of the ingredients, that are too “hot” to feed to the cows without incurring the risk of lost production and adverse health issues.

    摘要: A feed delivery system for a dairy farm wherein a third-party supplier of the system can provide the dairy farm with lists of approved hybrids for the feed components, necessary information inputs for practicing the feed method, and all or a portion of its component needs for the feed ration corresponding to a feed ration that contains: at least one primary forge source selected from the group consisting of brown midrib corn silage, dual-purpose corn silage, leafy corn silage, and grass silage; a secondary forage source selected from the group consisting of dual-purpose corn silage, alfalfa haylage, alfalfa dry hay, grass silage, and alfalfa/grass mix; a corn grain of floury and/or vitreous endosperm starch grain into which normal dent corn or mutt corn may be blended in order to achieve a predetermined level of in vitro starch digestibility; such grain component being further processed to produce a specific particle size of the blended starch. The feed delivery system can also provide the dairy farm with real-time characterizations of at least some of its feed ingredients, and re-penning strategies for maximizing the milk productivity of the cows.
