Agricultural Modeling and Training Systems (AMTS https://agmodelsystems.com/) is the most trusted ration formulation software on the market.
Our ration formulation model, the Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System (CNCPS) for feeding cattle is based on the latest science and proven in herds around the world. We use the NRC and research from leading small ruminant universities for our Small Ruminants software.
We offer technical consulting, support, and solutions that fit your needs. Our staff is the best in the business– We provide full program training and support from the day you trial the software until you retire. We are founded by some of the creators of cattle feeding models–we know them through and through!
In our goal to offer the best opportunities to all nutritionists, we provide discounted licenses of AMTS. Farm products to Universities and teaching facilities for teaching and research. Additionally, we have developed a comprehensive packet of materials that instructors and their assistants can use to teach nutrition using the CNCPS Model for Cattle and NRC Model for Small Ruminants. We believe the best way to learn is to do and want students ready for careers in formulation by providing modern, proven, commercially available tools in their learning process. We are grateful for the opportunity to work with the students in the Vet school at the University of Pretoria in coordination with Gert Cronjé and S. P. Els from Afgri.

It looks like some groups decided to fatten pigeons in addition to their calves? Could this be the winning strategy?
