Feedbank Update
The files available on the website include updated feeds only. Loading the feedbank files will not replace the built in CPM-Dairy feed dictionary feeds. Users can preview the contents of each file online before downloading. However, it puts the responsibility on all users to be aware of new feeds, edited feeds and those that have changed names or are no longer used in the marketplace.
PLEASE, review feeds online and in the Excel file and take note of the new products, the name changed products and products that should be ignored in the original feed dictionary.
Since AA nutrition is a hot topic, we struggled with updating BloodMeal. Based on Dr Boucher's (aka Sarah) protein degradation work we now understand the varying extent of protein/AA digestibility of blood meal. Instead of replacing the original, we have included a lower digestibility (RUP digestibility 65%) bloodmeal as well as denoting the original Bloodmeal that is 90% RUP digestibility. There are also many new amino acid products in the update.
There are also a few “Notable Non-Fixes” that should be mentioned. Since this is a dictionary update only, the program itself has not been updated for unequal CHO B3 and Pro B2 kds. The fatty acid profiles have not been expanded to include long chain fatty acids, the liquid and solids flow rates are unchanged, still equal, and porcine blood still not included due to limited dataset.
Although it is possible that the CPM program's built-in feed dictionary could be updated at some point, no such updates are currently scheduled. However, with .fdb file downloads, we will always be able to provide updated feed data.
