In BESTMIX Feed formulation a compound exists out of a combination of different ingredients. If there is a need to isolate a number of ingredients from the optimisation result, users can do so from within the optimisation window. As such, users can create mixes (premixes, concentrates, etc.) directly from a compound - quickly and easily.

BESTMIX Feed formulation users often add raw materials to compound compositions based on the code instead of the description. When working with these raw material codes, there are some options to speed up the process of changing the compound composition.

Users often have to make selections of items within BESTMIX Feed formulation, Quality control and Formulation as a Service.

If the specific situation requires a manual selection of items, users can press the ‘SPACEBAR’ to select the item and use the arrows to move to the next item.

In BESTMIX Feed formulation the availability of ingredients is set up in the plants. This availability avoids that ingredients that are not available in production locations are wrongfully used in compounds.

However, when creating rations, these same ingredients are also used as farmer ingredients where the availability is not an issue and are at..

Formulating rations is a continuous process of changing parameters and constraints and re-optimizing your formula. These changes are not always resulting in a better solution, so sometimes you want to restore a former optimization result. With the snapshot functionality in BESTMIX Formulation as a Service you can easily restore a previous..

The customisation of the sample header is a very useful function in BESTMIX Quality Control. It will allow you to make the program more user friendly by only showing the information you need. The sample header can be customised per sample type. Therefore you can have different sample headers for raw materials and for products.

October 2015, the Nuscience Group opened its new, “state-of-the-art”, premix factory in Drongen, Belgium. The new plant replaces the previous production facilities in Baasrode and Drongen and enables the company to double its production to 120000 tons a year. The factory features the latest in automation and process optimization by using best..

Thomas van der Poel is a professor in the subject area of Feed Formulation Sciences within the department of Animal Sciences at Wageningen University. During an 8-week programme consisting of theoretical classes, seminars, practicals and then a company visit, students acquire knowledge about and an insight into raw materials, additives and..

Your customers sometimes request special bulk blends, different from your standard products.
