3 The Systali project 3

4 The INRA "Systali" project To predict more precisely: The NE, PDI, AADI supplies & the flows of other nutrients (VFA + Gas + Glucose + Fatty acids ) The animal requirements & their responses to NE, PDI & other nutrients Already published (2013 & 2014) Still in progress To enlarge the fields of application of the INRA 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 Empirical modelling 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

7 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 production Rumen Protein Balance (ration) RPB = f(pdime, PDIMN) => Iterative process of calculation = Output data = Input data ( DI) More and more complex calculations Computer calculations needed 7

17 Approach & Organisation of calculations Equations are used to estimate Feed values: Feed "Table" values (with FL=ref, PCO=0, without RuProBal) Feed "Diet" values (with FL, PCO & RuProBal of the actual ration) Additivity calculation used to obtain Ration values: "Systali" values of the diets Calculation of the Nutrient flows from the ration values Deliberately light structure of data: Simple organization of the Input variables (Rations, Feeds, User Table) No interpretation/transformation of the output variables (self-interpretation by users) 17

26 A user-friendly & powerful app A synthesis of all the equations of the Systali 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: Update the evolutions of the Systali models Later: Compare INRA Systali to other international systems 26
