Zootechnical expertise.. One of IDENA’s major strengths and differentiators
Our team is made up of specialist nutritional engineers and veterinary surgeons who know livestock farming inside out. We are convinced that there is no substitute for contact and dialogue to understand what is at stake for the livestock farms, which is why our technical teams spend more than half their time on the livestock farms. They also carry out on-farm audits to better adapt the formulation and use of additives to the context of each livestock farm. And our decision-making tools help to increase feed efficiency and livestock farming performance.
Livestock farming audits
At IDENA, expertise in the field is also a key differentiator of which we are proud.
All our solutions are based on observation and understanding in the field, in collaboration with our partners who give us trust and transparency.
Optimising the effectiveness of a feed programme, a formulation and specific standards and/or the use of a nutritional speciality requires a good knowledge of livestock farming, the animal environment and the objectives sought.
Our expertise in livestock farming is available to our customers. We travel both within France and abroad, where livestock farming practices can sometimes change, requiring us to adapt our feed formulas and the way our specialities are used.
Decision-making tools
These audits are backed up by IDENA’s own technical diagnostic and decision-making tools. These tools are made available to our partner customers to deepen their zootechnical expertise and help them implement effective solutions to improve livestock farming results.
ID Matrix, your feed recipes in real time!
ID Matrix is a software package for calculating matrices of agricultural raw materials. It uses the IDENA prediction equations to update the raw material matrices according to changes in their qualities.
The aim of ID Matrix is to guarantee that your matrices are updated in real time. This means you can quickly optimise analysis results (infra or chemical) or it will help you to offer a new raw material in your plant.
With more than 25 raw materials available and automatic updating of the matrices in the Allix3 software, ID Matrix saves time and resources, and increases accuracy.
EVODIT, a customised data analysis tool
EVODIT is a livestock farm analysis tool for production organisations (POs).
EVODIT has an online platform with over 400 questions (to be selected-modified-completed) providing a precise snapshot of livestock farm equipment and practices.
This online platform is used to collect and record participants’ answers during audits.
The PO sends a database with the GTE results of the livestock farms surveyed.
At the end of the audit phase, a database is generated and analysed by our specialists.
Using biostatistical tools, the analysis will make it possible to objectify the main livestock farming practices, highlight strengths and areas for improvement, and measure their impact on performance (such as average daily weight gain, consumption index, mortality, mortality at D10, weight at D10, etc.).
- With EVODIT, you will have formatted results (graphs, boxplots, tables) to help you:
- Define the priorities and areas of work for your technical team
- Encourage livestock farms by showcasing their own results
- At meeting (general or by sector)
- On livestock farm visits (livestock farm report – position on the group, etc.)
- EVODIT is an essential tool for leading poultry producer groups.
