Evaluation of a method estimating real-time individual lysine requirements in two lines of growing–finishing pigs

Animal, 2015
The implementation of precision feeding in growing–finishing facilities requires accurate estimates of the animals’ nutrient requirements. The objectives of the current study was to validate a method for estimating the real-time individual standardized ...

Feeding Strategies to Reduce Nutrient Losses and Improve the Sustainability of Growing Pigs

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
The efficiency of pig production using nutrients has increased over the years. Still, better efficiency of nutrient utilization can be achieved by feeding pigs with diets adjusted to their estimated requirements.

Performance of Dairy Cows Offered Grass Silage Produced within Either a Three- or Four-Harvest System When Supplemented with Concentrates on a Feed-to-Yield Basis

Animals, 2023
More frequent harvesting of grass swards provides an opportunity to improve the nutritive value of grass silage. This study investigated the effect of offering silages produced within either a three- (3H) or four-harvest (4H) system on dairy cow ...

Prediction of Feed-Rate Slowdowns in Precise Micromilling Processes [PDF]

Journal of Manufacturing and Materials Processing, 2018
In a production of filigree and complex geometries, different NC-controlled processes such as laser cutting, EDM milling, and micromachining require a constant feed rate to ensure high-quality manufacturing results. Due to the technically limited acceleration ability of the machine tool axes, the nominal feed cannot always be achieved.

Improvement of feed and nutrient efficiency in pig production through precision feeding

Animal Feed Science and Technology, 2020
Nutrient requirement change over time and individual variability in pigs influences the efficiency of nutrient utilization. These variabilities should be considered to predict nutrient requirements more accurately. The goal of precision feeding is to develop systems able to estimate and deliver, at the right time, a ration with a quantity and ...

Precision feeding: Innovative management of broiler breeder feed intake and flock uniformity

Poultry Science, 2017
Achieving high lifetime productivity with broiler breeder flocks is challenging because feed restriction intensity continues to increase due to selection for efficient, fast growing, and high yielding broilers. Flock uniformity is compromised by intense competition for limited feed.

Effect of Changes in Dietary Net Energy Concentration on Growth Performance, Fat Deposition, Skatole Production, and Intestinal Morphology in Immunocastrated Male Pigs

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
Nutritional requirements of heavy immunocastrated (IM) pigs and therefore appropriate feeding strategies have not yet been determined. Thus, the effects of changes in dietary net energy (NE) content were studied in 41 IM pigs, fed ad libitum diets with ...

Precision Feeding Systems in Animal Husbandry: Guiding Rabbit Farming from Concept to Implementation

Agriculture
Precision Feeding Systems (PFS) demonstrate transformative potential in advancing sustainable and efficient production within modern animal husbandry. However, existing research lacks a synthesis of PFS applications in livestock farming and offers little

PRECISION FEED BUDGETING IN PRACTICE

Proceedings of the New Zealand Grassland Association, 1973
The case for feed budgeting on intensively stocked farms is briefly discussed, and a summary is given of the information required to draw up a meaningful feed budget. Therefore, after describing the procedure followed at Ruakura, particular attention is given to the problems and pitfalls in accurately assessing pasture cover, both before and after ...
