A major advantage of the program is that all livestock and pets, as well as mixtures and individual animal rations, can be calculated. There are extensive export and import interfaces for the exchange between different feeding consultants, so that data can be easily exchanged within a company, but also between companies.

The simple operation as well as the diverse printout options help the feeding consultant when working on the farm.

Of course, using the HYBRIMIN® Futter 5 on farms is just as easy.

With the so-called system area, which is password-protected, it is possible to integrate your feeding concepts into the program at any time. The program is equipped with the HYBRIMIN® database complete with German feeding standards, but can also be expanded or changed at any time to DVE (Netherlands), APD (Switzerland), PDI (France), e.g. in the dairy cow sector. Other energy standards such as ME or NE for pigs can also be entered by the user at any time.

Since HYBRIMIN® Futter 5 runs completely independently (no Excel necessary), the learning effort is very low for existing animal nutrition knowledge. Normally, we assume 2 to 3 hours to create the first daily rations or mixtures after entering the raw material analyses.

The product range of our feeding programs includes the Futter 2000, Futter 2003, Futter 2006, and Futter 2008. The current version is the HYBRIMIN® Futter 5.

Test the HYBRIMIN® Futter 5 for two weeks without obligation or have it demonstrated online without obligation.

Animal nutrition

The HYBRIMIN® database includes 400 feedstocks with a total of 38,000 nutrient values. These are revised from time to time. They are based on the ingredients in the Weende analysis, supplemented with common German ingredients and freely available analysis values taken from various tables. The user can alter all raw materials and ingredients according to their own feedstock analyses.

HYBRIMIN® Futter 5 also includes data for bio-feed calculation!‍

The database includes around 1,500 requirement groups (feed specifications) for a variety of animal categories with about 22,000 min-/ max values. To see what these values are based on, follow this link to the Society for Nutritional Physiology website (German).

Important: Almost every HYBRIMIN® customer with multiple licenses can access a database with their own raw material analyses, which often contain analysis values that are not freely available! The same applies to the requirement groups and feed specification. Of course, other feeding systems with ingredients that are not common in Germany are also possible in the program.
