There are several software you can use for teaching and professional level, some examples:

1. SysnovaFeed, free/open-source least-cost feed formulation software

https://www.sysnova.com/SysnovaFeed

2. Winfeed, has a demo version that is completely functional, the commercial version is not expensive. The software looks basic, but it has stochastic feed formulation capabilities.

http://www.winfeed.com

3. AminoCow (for dairy), free software you only need to register online and get a code to install it. http://www.nittanydairynutrition.com/App_Content/aminocow.aspx

4. Several "old" software that run on MS-DOS that you can still found with colleagues. This software can be use trough an application called DOS-BOX (MS-DOS emulator). If anyone need help with this please contact me.

TAURUS, beef cattle ration formulation (NRC)

PCDAIRY, dairy cattle ration formulation (NRC)

SPARTAN, dairy cattle ration formulation (NRC with modifications)

UFFDA, multi-species, need to enter all information (feeds, requirements)

For teaching are a very good option, and under some condition you still can use at professional level.

5. FeedLive 1.51, commercial software that is not too expensive, can be used for ruminants and non ruminants. It's a very simple but useful program. It has a demo version valid for 30 days.

Dear Dr. Prabhat Khanal

I have designed some excel files related to broiler, sheep and cow which is so easy, but if you want, I have to translate to English. You can also find them on my page.

Data Broiler version4

Some of them.

Feed formulation for sheep

Thank you so much.

You are welcome.

You can try Format Internation

A commercial product is Bestmix of Adifo (https://www.adifo.com/en).

I use Ultramix, great for teaching, research and commercial use.

During my Master's, we used Brill Formulation software. I worked as an Animal Nutritionist in the Philippines, and one of the biggest feed companies still uses Brill.

Consider learning to formulate using linear programming tools and, if possible, multiobjectives. This will achieve excellent results in terms of satisfaction of the animal's requirements, at the cost of the formula and at the optimal use of available resources.

Hello,

During my traineeship we used to work with Allix Software to formulate poultry feed, you can also use INRAtion for other animal species.

Good luck

Hi, we used a lot NRC 2001 in my bachelor and master studies, it is very good software for dairy cattle nutrition. Also, for pigs we used software Eva pig. Both of them you can find online with no limitations.

Good academic software for ruminants (cattle in the first place) is CNCPS, and for sheep and goat SRNS (small ruminant nutrition system). Both of them are developed in the Cornell University and there is only trial versions for free. After trial period, you have to pay to use these softwares.

For poultry feed formulation, I recommend BRILL. However, this is a pretty expensive software. currently, I am using excel to formulate diets and it works really good.

you can try free software feed formulation, work in Windows Os or Linux OS, open source

https://www.sysnova.com/SysnovaFeed

I usually to use Winfeed Software.

Dear Andri

You should try it

I am using smart phone feed formulation application. You can find for ios and android on respective stores.

Agree

No need to download or any installation, using any kind of device (Laptop or smart phone), or OS (Windose, Mac, android, ios or ...), just go to https://jirenevis.com/poultry and formulate feeds poultry needs!!

Please let us have your comments to develop it more.

i suggest you use excel with solver tool
