Feed+selection+tool

This tool, currently at an early stage of development, aims to help users to identify cost effective treatment, transportation and feeding options. This capacity could potentially be useful for individual livestock enterprises but could also assist with area-wide planning of feed resource management.

The basic structure and operation of the tool can be seen in this excel-based version:



The tool is being implemented as a stand-alone windows software programme. Some screen shots of the initial mock up are included below:

1. The tool has a fully customisable feeds database.

2. Users can build list of scenarios that represent a range of feed management options

3. The interactive scenario builder allows users to graphically generate and examine the consequences of different options.

4. Individual steps in the feed management process are also fully customisable.
