How to optimise production costs in animal nutrition?
You are an animal nutrition manufacturer and you want to optimise the cost of your feed. Techna can help you analyse your value chain with the aim of identifying ways to improve your performance. Discover Feedia's advice and solutions.
Optimising production costs requires a detailed analysis of the animal nutrition value chain. By visualising the entire process, from raw materials to finished products (feed, milk, meat, eggs, etc.), Techna helps feed manufacturers to identify inefficiencies, waste and potential areas for improvement.
Because each value chain is unique, Techna adapts to each customer's optimisation project. We make a point of prioritising your objectives, which may be of different kinds:
This holistic vision, from the sample to the trough, guides our experts in the development of solutions in line with the technical and economic objectives of livestock farms, the expectations of consumers and society as a whole.
"Our responsibility is to provide added value at every level of the nutrition chain, whatever the farming system".
There are many ways to optimise production costs in animal nutrition: new raw materials, readjustment of the matrix value of raw materials, optimisation of nutritional recommendations or even the use of additives... These avenues for improvement, alone or combined, represent potential savings of up to €30 per tonne of compound feed.
It all starts with a detailed nutritional assessment of your raw materials. The performance of a feed depends heavily on the quality of the raw materials it contains. Techna's formulators use robust analyses and matrix expertise to guide their customers towards potential sources of cost reduction. The selection of a new raw material or reformulation with a matrix readjustment are two avenues that can represent savings of €1 to €4 per tonne of reconstituted feed.
Did you know that revising nutritional standards is one of the most effective ways of optimising your production costs? Techna provides you with its expertise in building or adjusting your feed specifications to meet your objectives. Techna develops nutritional standards based on its research and experience in the field. These standards can be adapted to each species, strain, physiological stage, environment, etc. and must enable you to achieve your objectives. Techna estimates potential savings of €1 to €10 per tonne of feed. Don't hesitate to contact us to optimise your specifications.
