Three editions, sized to your operation

Pro solves one formula at a time. Premium solves every feed in a mill together against shared stock. Ultimate adds more mills and future periods.

  1. OptiFormula Pro

    One formula at a time (Single Blend)

    For nutritionists, consultants and single-line mills. You enter ingredient and nutrient limits, and OptiFormula calculates the cheapest formula that meets them.

    • Least-cost single formula (LP and NLP)
    • Shadow prices and parametric price analysis
    • Unlimited ingredients, nutrients, ratios and equations
    • Batch sheets, formula reports and feed labels

    For nutrition consultants, premix plants and single-line mills

  2. OptiFormula Premium

    Every feed in one mill (Multi Blend)

    For mills that produce many feeds at once. It shares limited ingredient stock and silo capacity across all formulas together, so the whole mill's cost goes down, not just one formula's.

    • Everything in Pro
    • Solve dozens of feeds together against shared stock
    • Silo capacity, batch size and daily tonnage limits
    • Batching automation (PLC) and ERP export

    For medium and large compound feed mills

The tools a formulation team uses every day

OptiFormula 6.0 runs on 64-bit Windows and keeps its data in a central SQL Server database.

  • LP and non-linear (NLP) solver

    Solves hundreds of ingredient and nutrient limits quickly. It accounts for the non-linear effect of phytase and NSP enzymes and for mixer batch rounding.

  • Shadow prices and parametric analysis

    Shows the price at which an unused ingredient would enter the formula, and the price break points of the ones in use. You go into a purchasing negotiation with numbers.

  • NIR and lab results

    Imports NIR or wet-chemistry results for incoming lots into the ingredient matrix and updates nutrient values for dry-matter changes.

  • Nutrient ratios and equation editor

    Define SID/TID amino acid profiles, Ca/P ratios, DCAD and your own energy equations for poultry, ruminants and aquaculture.

  • ERP, automation and labels

    Sends approved formulas to the batching system (PLC) and your ERP, and prints regulation-compliant feed labels in one step.

  • Permissions and change history

    Role-based user permissions, version history for every formula, a cost archive and cost comparison in TRY, USD and EUR.

Who uses OptiFormula

Nine kinds of organizations work with OptiFormula, from feed mills to universities.

  • Compound feed mills

    Keep cost per tonne under control while ingredient prices move. Stock, production lines and purchase contracts are solved in one plan.

  • Nutrition consultants

    Keep each client's ingredient matrix and formula archive separate, and give clients concrete purchasing advice backed by shadow price reports.

  • Poultry integrators

    Build phase programs for broilers, layers and breeders, and improve FCR while holding SID lysine, Met+Cys and AME on target.

  • Dairy and beef farms

    Balance forage and compound feed with the NASEM 2021 and INRA models, and hit metabolizable protein, peNDF and net energy targets at a lower ration cost.

  • Premix and additive producers

    Formulate micro-ingredients down to ppm, mg and IU, and manage carriers, safety margins and customer-specific premixes in one place.

  • Pet food manufacturers

    Formulate dry and wet pet food to FEDIAF and AAFCO profiles, with protein, fat, digestibility and extrusion limits.

  • Aquafeed producers

    Formulate floating and sinking pellets for trout, sea bass, sea bream and shrimp, keeping protein, EPA/DHA and phosphorus within limits.

  • Multi-plant groups

    Plan production at plants in different regions, transfers between them and forward purchases together with the Ultimate edition.

  • Universities and research institutes

    Trial diets and bioavailability studies of new ingredients for agriculture and veterinary faculties and research institutes.
