Precision nutrition, scientific breeding: Customized formulas and customized brand services

 

from CJ Feed and Care leading the new era of breeding

page-820-820

Today, with the increasing development of large-scale animal husbandry, the traditional feed model is gradually unable to meet the diversified demands of the market. Different livestock and poultry breeds, growth stages, health conditions, and even regional environments all put forward unique requirements for feed nutrition. Against this backdrop, customized feed services have emerged and are quietly reshaping the industry landscape.

 

 

 

 

Why do we need customized feed?

 

 

Maximizing Farming Profitability

While standardized feeds can provide basic nutritional needs, they struggle to precisely tailor feed to the specific needs of a specific farm. Customized feeds, through precise formulation, can significantly improve feed conversion rates and reduce feed-to-meat ratios, directly helping customers reduce costs and increase profitability.

 

Personalized Animal Health Management

Disease pressures and stressors vary across farms. Customized formulas can incorporate targeted functional additives (such as probiotics, enzymes, and plant extracts) to strengthen animal immunity and reduce antibiotic use.

 

Optimizing Resource Utilization

Flexibly adjusting formulas based on the characteristics of local raw materials reduces raw material procurement costs while efficiently utilizing local resources.

 

Addressing Environmental Pressures

By accurately calculating nutrient requirements, we reduce excessive emissions of nitrogen, phosphorus, and other elements, helping farms meet environmental requirements.

 

Customized Formula Service

 

 01 Core Service Content

 

The customized services provided by the feed factory usually cover the following aspects:

 

Precision nutrition design

Based on the animal information provided by the customer (such as breed, age, weight, production performance targets) and the raw material situation, the formula is designed using the latest knowledge of animal nutrition .

 

Raw Material Adaptation and Optimization

Leverage local or proprietary raw materials (such as corn, soybean meal, and bran) to reduce overall costs and avoid resource waste.

 

Functional Additive Customization

Health-Oriented: Target specific disease challenges (such as diarrhea and respiratory diseases) by adding functional additives such as probiotics, acidifiers, and plant essential oils.

Performance-Oriented: Targeted adjustments to amino acid, vitamin, and mineral levels to improve egg production, milk quality, and lean meat percentage.

Quality-Oriented: Customized solutions are designed to improve livestock and poultry product quality (such as yolk color and meat flavor) or feed quality control (such as mold prevention and antioxidants).

 

Cost Control Solutions

Utilizing techniques such as linear programming, we identify the lowest-cost raw material combination while meeting minimum nutritional requirements to maximize economic benefits for our customers.

 

Technical service support

Provide supporting feeding management suggestions, feed trough management, water quality testing, effect tracking and evaluation and other full-process technical service suggestions.

 

 02 Detailed workflows for custom formulations

 

Step 1: Demand Matching and Information Collection

This is the most crucial foundational step. The service manager of the feed factory conducts in-depth communication with the customers and collects the following information:

 

Animal Information

Breed, growth stage (chicken, finishing pig, lactating cow, etc.), production goals (daily gain, egg production rate, milk fat percentage), health status, and current challenges.

 

Current Diet

The customer's current feed formula and feeding results.

 

Proprietary Raw Materials

The types of raw materials available to the customer, their nutritional content (if test reports are available), purchase prices, and expected usage ratios.

 

Environment and Management

Housing model (cage, flat, free-range), stocking density, climate conditions, and water availability.

 

Cost Expectations

The customer's target cost range.

 

Step 2: Sample Testing and Analysis

 

To ensure that the nutritional data underlying formula design is accurate and reliable, preventing formulation failures due to raw material quality fluctuations.

 

Collect raw material samples (such as corn and soybean meal) and water samples from the customer and send them to our laboratory for testing.

 

Key test parameters include moisture, crude protein, crude fiber, ash, calcium, phosphorus, and mycotoxin contamination (such as aflatoxin and vomitoxin). Water quality should also be tested for hardness, pH, and microbial content.

 

Step 3: Formula Design and Optimization

 

Nutritionists use professional formula software (such as Brill or Format) to input all collected information.

 

Based on the animal's nutritional requirements, the nutritional content of the raw materials, and their price, they set various constraints (such as upper and lower limits for nutritional indicators and limits on raw material usage).

 

The software uses linear programming to calculate multiple formulas that meet nutritional requirements and optimize costs.

 

Nutritionists, drawing on their practical experience, fine-tune and optimize the software-generated formulas, focusing on amino acid balance, electrolyte balance, and energy and nitrogen balance.

 

Step 4: Plan Review and Client Confirmation

 

The preliminary formula must be reviewed by the Technical Director or a senior animal nutrition expert to ensure safety, scientificity, and feasibility.

 

The reviewed formula, expected results, cost analysis, and proposed price are presented to the client for detailed explanation and communication.

 

Final adjustments are made based on client feedback, and written confirmation is obtained.

 

Step 5: Customized Production and Quality Control

 

After receiving the confirmed custom formula, the production department arranges for individual production batches.

 

Clearance

Before production, the production line (especially the feed silo and mixer) is thoroughly cleaned to prevent cross-contamination between different products.

 

Precise Feeding

Utilize a precision metering system to ensure accurate addition of trace ingredients, especially vitamins, minerals, and pharmaceutical additives.

 

Uniform Mixing

Ensure sufficient mixing time to ensure uniform distribution of all ingredients in the feed.

 

Sampling and Testing

Samples are collected and tested during production and after final product production to ensure that key product parameters (such as crude protein and moisture) are consistent with the designed formula.

 

 

Step 6: Delivery and Technical Service

 

Deliver customized feed products on time and complete export inspection and other required customer procedures.

 

Technical service personnel will follow up with customers, providing guidance on proper storage and feeding procedures, and observing the animals' initial feed intake.

 

Step 7: Performance Tracking and Feedback Optimization

 

Establish  a long-term tracking mechanism, regularly visit customers, and collect production performance data (such as feed intake, daily weight gain, feed-to-meat ratio, egg production rate, and health status).

 

Compare and analyze actual data against target targets.

 

Based on breeding results and market changes (such as raw material price fluctuations), maintain communication with customers to continuously optimize and adjust formulas for dynamic customization.
