Agricultural Modeling and Training Systems (AMTS) has teamed up with Cud Bud Enterprises to create an inexpensive way to print Feed Mill Tags for dairy and beef ration mixes created in AMTS.Cattle.Pro

Feed Mill Tag software is an on-line tool, created by Cud Bud Enterprises of Belle Plaine, Minnesota. Medicated and non-medicated tags can be created with flexible content and formats that meet VFD and AAFCO guidelines.

AMTS.Feedbank Manager (FBM) is software that manages the feed mill price, products and raw ingredient data. FBM can stand alone or handshake with mill programs (such as BestMix™, Brill Formulation® and Format™), analytical lab analyses, and AMTS.Cattle™.Professional. FBM is created by AMTS LLC (https://agmodelsystems.com/products/fbm).

The field nutritionist, using AMTS.Cattle.Professional, creates and electronically shares farm specific mix formulas with mills using AMTS.Feedbank Manager. The Mill personnel edit (if necessary), approve and manufacture the mix formula and print the mix tag using Feed Mill Tag.

Using FBM, the Mill personnel can also send the field nutritionist price, formula and nutrient updates. These changes automatically update the AMTS.Cattle.Professional ration and farm feed library values. This integrated process helps the nutritionist and mill personnel keep feed information accurate and up to date.

Both Feedbank Manager and Feed Mill Tag are sold by subscription and priced to appeal to mills of all sizes.
