About CPM-Dairy V3
CPM-Dairy is a program to evaluate and formulate Dairy cattle rations. It will
work on Windows operating system from Windows 95 through Windows Vista.
The proper use of CPM-Dairy will control feed cost, promote animal
health and production, and help minimize environmental pollutants.
The program allows dairy rations to be formulated or evaluated for heifers,
dry cows as well as lactating cows.
Feed Dictionaries are included to provide guidelines of the feed analyses to
be used for the development of rations.
Nutrient requirements are determined by the physiological state of the animal
(body weight, milk production level, milk composition, growth rate) as well as
environmental factors (temperature, wind chill, coat matting, etc.).
The program uses the mathematical techniques of linear and nonlinear
programming to formulate least-cost rations and ensure that the nutrient
requirements of the rumen microbes and cow are met. These methods will identify
which ingredients should be fed as well as how much should be fed for each
ration.
CPM-Dairy is a joint product from Cornell University, the University of
Pennsylvania and the Miner Agricultural Research Institute.
