One Step Ahead
Largest Feed-Intake Dataset in the World
CRV FeedExcel is backed by years of collaboration with farmers, leading scientific development, and the world’s largest feed intake dataset based on real measurements from lactating cows on commercial dairy farms.
Farmers such as Wietse Duursma (300 cows and 150 young animals) have seen the benefits firsthand, alongside large-scale operations like the Vroege family dairy (1,100 cows). These are among the farms where CRV monitors individual cow feed intake and milk production using feed bins.
Learn more about Duursma's story, discover how a small improvement on feed efficiency had a major impact on Vroege's farm or explore the financial impact of FeedExcel on the Alders family dairy.
