Ration-balancing software for ruminants
Healthy livestock, high-quality products, and sustainable growth are the key goals of today’s farmers. To reach this, a well-balanced and precise nutrition for ruminants based on the livestock’s needs is fundamental. Fluctuations in availability and quality of forage make it more and more challenging. With ALIPLAN we make farmers flexible and more efficient. Discover a digital solution that goes beyond ration calculation.
Forage as the key element in ruminant nutrition
Forage is the most important feed resource for all kinds of ruminants across the world. This makes farmers dependent on the accessibility of crops, hay, silage, or haylage. The quality and availability of forage are determined by a variety of factors that we are not able to control, so this can present as a challenge for the farmers to feed their ruminants.
Quality of forage defines ration calculation
In order to meet the needs of the increasing and demanding population, farmers have to improve their efficiency, increase the production and improve the ruminant’s performance. It is critical to know the quality of the input into the feeding system to face these challenges and manage the business accordingly. Changing weather conditions do not only influence the quantity, but also the quality of the forage. Even within one farm, the nutritional values of the crops can differ and impact the nutrients of the ruminants. Therefore, the analysis of the forage becomes the fundamental part of the feeding process.
Digital solution for ration balancing for ruminants
ALIPLAN helps our customers to overcome these challenges. The ADM digital app calculates the most precise nutrition for ruminants based on in-depth forage and ingredient analysis and supports our customers to reach and improve the genetic potential of a farms’ livestock.
Winter or summer, good or bad forage harvest, ALIPLAN always provides the farmer with an optimal feed solution for the ruminants, ensuring a stable performance. Thanks to a growing database, ALIPLAN helps to optimize the rations taking into account the specific requirements of the dairy cows as well as the quality and the price of the ingredients (concentrates and forages).
ALIPLAN goes beyond calculation: ration based on lab data
The quality of data and insights is what helps farmers to develop their competitive advantage, improve and become leader in their industry. However, we know how cost- and time-consuming research is. As ADM, we have the resources and expertise to always provide up-to-date insights, results, and analysis. T
o enable our customers to benefit from this, we connect ALIPLAN, an operational ration calculation tool, with our ADM laboratories, R&D centers, and strong matrix calculation models providing precise nutrient values. This makes ALIPLAN more than just a feed calculation software, but also the lever to economic success for ruminant farms.

Precise ruminant nutrition to become more sustainable
A successful strategy to improve the economic situation through sustainable actions is to work on the optimization of efficient proteins and energy. The digital app ALIPLAN allows the measurement of the active protein in the feed.
By making precise calculations of the feed ration and the use of premixes, minerals, and nutritional supplements, ALIPLAN can also visualize cost-saving opportunities, which can help to improve the economic performance.
Calculating ruminant nutrition since 1998: ALIPLAN’s success story
ALIPLAN is innovative, but not completely new. The first version was launched in 1998 and since then, we continuously improve the software and its features. This is how we always ensure that it serves the current and future needs of farmers. Our customers can trust in a proven solution that grows with their challenges.
ALIPLAN is available under license fees on Windows laptops and tablets. Please contact the ADM team for more information about ALIPLAN, digital farming ,and precise nutrition for ruminants. User guides are available on our portal: access here.
