NorFor accurately predicts feed intake of legume-based forages.

Legume-based forages are widely used worldwide. Legumes provide the forage share of the diet higher quality due to higher digestibility and feed intake thus, increasing milk production. Moreover, an accurate prediction of the feed intake of the cow will make the utilization of the farm resources more efficient, concluding in economical and environmental benefits.

A new trial from Aarhus University with dairy cows focusing on grass and legumes shows that NorFor´s feed intake prediction system has a relatively low error, whether the ration contains no legumes or a high share of legumes.
