The key to precision nutrition

It is a leading-edge tool that incorporates the latest knowledge in animal nutrition and a high performance calculation engine, from conventional calculation to economic optimisation, taking in à la carte feed rationing.

The software’s power enables ruminant specialists to present livestock farmers with a swift, reliable diagnostic of the balance of their feed ration, with more than 100 analysis criteria available.

Moreover, printouts come in very visual summary form, to facilitate understanding and monitoring of feed rationing.

Finally, the software has been designed and developed to facilitate management within each company, for greater consistency and to save time for all users. The data is centralised in an integrated system that is compatible with the major formulation software packages Allix, Format and Libra. An interactive software, it is possible to directly load the feed values obtained by a forage analysis via a web platform (NIR2U) to gain in speed and precision. Similarly, it is possible for a company to upload rations to a cloud and produce group summaries, and compare them with production results for a genuine benchmark of rations.

Chorus® Ruminant 4.0 is a high-performance, versatile and scalable software package, a key tool for ruminant specialists, with a view to supporting and meeting the new expectations of livestock farmers, whether at a technical, economic or environmental level.

The economy is at the heart of Chorus®

Chorus can be used to calculate the cost of a ration. It also makes it very easy to see the margin on feed costs, and to compare several simulations with their economic consequences on the same screen.

Finally, an 'expert' module enables you to perform technical and economic optimisation to calculate the lowest-cost ration.
