1 : a new on-line application for the French INRA "Systali" project P. Chapoutot, O. Martin, P. Nozière and D. Sauvant patrick.chapoutot@agroparistech.fr 1

2 Outline of the presentation The French INRA "Systali" project Organization of Objectives of Pedagogical module Calculation module Some illustrations Conclusions 2

3 The Systali project 3

4 To predict more precisely: The "Systali" project = A renovation of the INRA feed unit system 1.The NE (UFL), MP (PDI), AA supplies & the flows of other nutrients (VFA, Gas, Glucose, Fatty Acids) 2.The animal requirements & their responses to NE, PDI & other nutrients Already published (2013 & 2015) Still in progress To enlarge the fields of application of the feed unit systems ( hot countries, intensive diets ) 4

5 The INRA "Systali" nutrient supply model Prediction of the flows of diet nutrients More precise description of Digestive Interactions: Value(diet) = Σ j p j x Table_value(feed) j ± DI Modelling approach of DI: Major impact on OM digestibility 3 Causes: Feeding level (DMI % BW) Prop n of concentrate (0< <1) Rumen Protein Balance (=CP intake CP duodenum) 5

6 In addition Other processes impacted by the 3 factors of DI: - NDF digestibility & Rumen Fermented OM (FOM) - Protein and Starch digestive partition (through transit rate) - CH4 production - Urinary E & N losses Rumen Protein Balance (ration) RPB = f(pdime, PDIMN) => Iterative process of calculation More complex calculations Computer calculations needed = Output data = Input data ( DI) 7

9 Objectives of Due to strong demand from users & professionals To obtain further explanations about the new concepts To practice the use of the new calculation models To integrate all the new equations in their own tools A simple & powerful tool, quickly implemented (3 months) & funded by AFZ, with 2 main objectives: A pleasant e-learning tool for the nutrient supply model An efficient computation tool for feed & ration values 10

15 Approach & Organisation of calculations Equations applied to estimate the Feed values: "Table" values of feeds, without Digestive Interactions (FL=ref) "Diet" values of feeds, with DI (FL, PCO & RPB of actual ration) ==> iterative process of calculation Additivity calculation used to obtain the Ration values: "Systali" values of the diets Calculation of the Nutrient flows from the ration values Deliberately light structure of data: Simple organisation of the Input variables (Rations, Feeds, User Table) No interpretation/transformation of the output variables (self-interpretation by users) 19

16 What can you do with all these data? Just use your brain and add your own touch! 22

17 Comparison of OM digestibility of rations "Systali" vs "2007" Source: J-B. Daniel (MosarCo Data base) OMd "Systali" (%) With DI Y=X Dairy cows Y = X (n=1185, R²=0.54, RSD=1.95) Without DI OMd "2007" (%) 23

Maize silage based diets (+Grazing/Grass Sil./Hay) 3 4 Maize silage based diets (+Grazing/Grass Sil./Hay) 25

19 Conclusion 27

20 A user-friendly & powerful app A synthesis of all the equations of the nutrient supply model A simple & illustrative representation of the chaining variables A very efficient tool light-speed calculations: only sec. for 600 rations including 6000 feeds! Systool web currently in French but an English version available very soon! Future evolutions: Short-term: Updates with the evolutions of the Systali models Later: Comparisons of INRA Systali & international systems 28
