Spartan Dairy 3 is a Windows-based, stand-alone computer program for use in evaluating and formulating diets for dairy cattle. It was designed to formulate reasonable diets in a relatively short period of time using the latest science.
This website offers professional Ration Evaluation and Formulation Software (REAFS TM ) with an educational focus for 14 types of domestic animals. REAFS TM is software for the introductory course in applied feeds, feeding and animal nutrition. A semester-long license for all 14 animals is available to educational institutions for $150. The institution's name will be present on the software and copies may be made and distributed to anyone enrolled at that institution. There is no restriction on the number of copies that may be made. Licenses expire at the end of the semester to ensure that the versions of REAFS TM in use are the most current available.
Licenses may be renewed. A list of institutions that have requested and received licenses for REAFS may be found at the bottom of this page. REAFS products do not work on Apple computers. Citect Modbus Driver Help on this page. REAFS TM offers the same features found in professional ration formulation software: 1.
REAFS TM uses National Research Council formulas to predict nutrient targets (requirements) based on inputs of animal, environment, and management factors. Nutrient relationships, performance predictions and income over feed cost are calculated. Each user populates his/her own Feed Table with feedstuffs downloaded from the library containing over 1000 feedstuffs.
Feed prices may be updated using the user's current local prices. An optimizer is available for all 14 animal types. REAFS TM has many unique features: 1. The programs are MOBILE!
A companion product is available to install on smartphones. This enables users to collect and verify input data in front of their subjects (the animals). Collected data can then be imported to the full-featured programs for ration evaluation and formulation.
The programs for each of the 14 animal types operate using the same buttons and function keys so that users can move efficiently from one animal type to another. The printouts display predicted nutrient targets (requirements) next to ration nutrient totals.
Ration nutrient totals that are outside an acceptable range relative to the target are highlighted in red (or yellow) on the computer display and are boxed on printouts. All software is WholeFarm/WholeEnterprise based so that calculations can be made of manure production, feedstuff inventories, and profitability for the entire animal enterprise. Educators, please use the Contact Me page to request free examination copies of REAFS TM programs.
Licenses purchased at this time will expire May 31, 2018.
