Data feed management automation : an empirical approach
… proposes a framework for automation of data feed management and control. The framework can be classified into two broad areas i) building an ontology for a feed system and ii) developing a test suite, that is, a set of statistical models to analyze and diagnose feeds and formalize the results …

An Ecological Approach to Feed Management in Fish Rearing Ponds
… have historically used a “black box” approach to feed management by only quantifying the effects of varied manufactured feed subsidies on mean fish size and yield at harvest. Alternatively, I sought to improve fish production efficiency and reliability by quantifying the complex effects of feed …

The Impact of Feed Management Software on Whole-Farm Nutrient Balance on Virginia Dairy Farms
… facilities, such as dairy farms. The impact of feed management software on whole-farm nutrient balance was studied on 18 dairy farms located in Virginia from 2006 to 2010. Nine farms began using the TMR Tracker feed management software in 2006 and were compared to 9 control farms not using feed …

Influence of dietary component manipulation and feed management strategies on growth and rumen development of weaned dairy heifers
… to improve post-weaning heifer nutrition and management. We aimed to evaluate common feed management strategies seen in the industry and their effects on growth, feed efficiency (G:F), and rumen development of calves from birth to 8 mo of age using pen- and individually-fed animal trials. …

Impact of Precision Feeding Strategies on Whole Farm Nutrient Balance and Feeding Management
Impact of precision feeding with feed management software was assessed for whole farm nutrient balance (WFNB) and feeding management from January through December 2006. Nine treatment and six control farms were selected in four regions of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed of Virginia. Herd sizes …

Influence of dietary interventions on the immune system: an investigation of the impact of omega-3 fatty acids, dietary fermentable materials and high energy diets
… dietary supplements in the context of different feed management systems (pasture versus confinement). Cattle consuming microalgae had higher antibody production and cattle in the pasture system had higher anti-keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) and total antibody responses on all diets. Overall, …

Ruminal Nitrogen Recycling and Nitrogen Efficiency in Lactating Dairy Cattle
… utilizes milk urea N (MUN) to monitor protein feeding and N excretion, phenotypic diversity among cows may influence MUN and thus bias feed management. An initial study using data from 2 previously published research trials and a field trial, observed that cow had a significant effect on MUN …
