Feed Nutrient Management Planning & Economics (FNMP$) Tool |
|
|
|
Relating feed management to whole farm nutrient management is a relatively new concept for nutritionists and crop consultants to embrace. Nutrients in feed are a primary source of nutrients imported to the farm. A tool has been developed that makes estimates of the following: manure volume and nutrient content, land requirements for agronomic utilization of manure nutrients, labor and land application equipment time requirements and travel distance of manure hauling, the costs associated with land application, the potential nitrogen and phosphorus nutrient value of manure, and the costs associated with feed changes. You can access a free version of the FNMP$ tool, a users manual, and view a 37 minute training video at the following web link Software and Spreadsheets |
