23.06.2021, Düsseldorf – Sustainable cattle management requires close attention to nutrient cycling of phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N). Adjusting feeding offers opportunities to reduce nutrient excretion. At the same time, operating costs can often be reduced while maintaining the same milk yield. With the help of the extended version of the RumiTop® N+P Efficiency Calculator by Deutsche Tiernahrung Cremer, dairy farmers can now calculate whether a change in feeding is also worthwhile for their farm and which feeds are suitable for this.
"The legal requirements for reducing nutrient and harmful gas emissions are becoming increasingly stringent. Cattle farmers should therefore take a close look at the opportunities and possibilities of N+P-reduced feeding," explains Georg Riewenherm, Head of Product Management at Deutsche Tiernahrung Cremer. "With the extended version of the RumiTop® N+P Efficiency Calculator, cattle farmers can calculate a ration adjustment online. In doing so, they always have all the information on the ingredients of the ration, the expected milk yield, and the lease and disposal costs incurred at a glance."
New functions enable even more precise calculation
With the "Extended Version", the setting options in the RumiTop® N+P Efficiency Calculator are extended by additional functions. In the new version, more feed, silage and concentrate variants can be selected. Farmers can now also display their own farm area in a more differentiated way: It is possible to differentiate between grassland and arable land as well as between leased and owned land. Young livestock rearing can also be taken into account in the current version.
The RumiTop® N+P Efficiency Calculator automatically makes suggestions for the use of a N+P-reduced concentrate with the same content of energy and nXP (usable crude protein at the duodenum) as in the currently fed ration. In the results section, the expanded version now shows the savings potential for manure disposal in addition to the specific savings in nitrogen and phosphorus accumulation. Farms that already lease land for the application of their nutrient surpluses now find out how much they can reduce their annual lease costs and in which constellation nitrogen or phosphate determines the required area.
Extended version exclusively accessible via the partner portal
Interested farmers can find the extended version of the RumiTop® N+P Efficiency Calculator on the Deutsche Tiernahrung Cremer ꞏ Partner Portal (DEUꞏPA).
