But with many nutrient and ingredient limits, price changes, shadow prices and several feeds to solve together, it takes time and raises the risk of errors.",{"q":8,"a":9},"What is the difference between free ration programs and professional software?","Free tools usually work with a single feeding system and a limited ingredient list, are not updated and offer no support. Professional software brings current systems, multi-formula solving with limited stock, reports and support together.",{"q":11,"a":12},"What sets one formulation program apart from another?","Programs using a similar calculation method usually find the same formula from the same inputs. The differences are in how current the feeding systems are, whether several formulas and mills can be solved together, the reports and ease of use. OptiFormula offers NASEM, INRA, CVB, NRC, ICAR, IAFFD and FEDIAF in one program.",{"q":14,"a":15},"What should I look for when choosing formulation software?","Look at current feeding systems for your species, how easy it is to enter your own analyses, solving several formulas together, shadow prices and parametric analysis, support and training, and the total cost of ownership.",{"q":17,"a":18},"What is the difference between Pro, Premium and Ultimate?","In Pro each formula is solved on its own, and several mills can be defined. In Premium the formulas of the same mill are solved together, sharing the ingredient stock. Ultimate adds planning across mills and over several periods.",{"q":20,"a":21},"What is the advantage of formulating several feeds at once?","When feeds that share the same ingredient stock are solved together, the limited ingredient goes to the feed where it adds the most value and the total cost falls. Solving them one at a time misses this.",{"q":23,"a":24},"What sets OptiFormula apart from competing programs?","It offers NASEM, INRA, CVB, NRC, ICAR, IAFFD and FEDIAF in one program, solves formulas together with limited stock and plans across mills and periods. It brings compound feed and TMR under one roof.",1794234573187]
