NESTOR: A new software by Adisseo to formulate in Net Energy

Adisseo brings together the most recent information in recommendations and nutritional values to offer a unique platform: NESTOR, which gives nutritional recommendations for poultry & swine in net energy, digestible amino acids and minerals to adapt them with specific conditions (rearing period, sex, age, breed).

NESTOR: A new software by Adisseo to formulate in Net Energy In the current context of raw material prices increase and knowing the need to strengthen the sustainability of the animal protein production, it is critical to find ways of optimizing feed use by the animal.

Lots of energic systems are already used to formulate diet for monogastric animals. Net Energy system is the most appropriate to be closer to the animal needs. Indeed, compared to metabolizable energy, formulating in Net Energy enables to focus on providing the nutrients used for the animal maintenance and for its growth (fat and protein deposit).

Net Energy system is already used in 50% of swine production and has shown satisfactory results. There is a demand to use this system also in poultry. A lot of science exists on the topic, but it has never been brought to the market yet.

With its long-standing expertise in feed formulation, and previous software for precise nutrition released on the market (PNE, Adict), Adisseo brings together the most recent information in recommendations and nutritional values to offer a unique platform: NESTOR.

To formulate, there are two necessary elements:
– To know the animal’s needs in the most accurate possible way,
– To precisely know the value of the feedstuffs given to the animals.

NESTOR gives nutritional recommendations for poultry & swine in net energy, digestible amino acids and minerals to adapt them with specific conditions (rearing period, sex, age, breed). It also gives nutritional values for raw materials in proximate, energy, total & digestible amino acids and minerals. With these two sets of data, formulation in Net Energy gets easy!

NESTOR provides:

  • Ready-to-use science: Find all the updated information on the nutritional recommendations and values to formulate. All shared data are supported by a supportive scientific board composed of eminent experts on energy topics.
  • A step further in formulation accuracy: use the recommendations which match the real needs of animals and are adaptable depending on the context and breeding conditions.
  • Support to better associate nutritional values and performance: optimizing the use of feed for animal performance.
  • Net energy formulation for more sustainable animal production by reducing waste and allowing the best use of alternative feedstuffs.
