Data Analytics

Real Numbers. Real Animals. Real Results.

At Kalmbach Nutritional Services, we don’t just go with our gut, we go with the data. When you're feeding millions of animals, instinct is essential, and combining it with data and experience helps you make even smarter decisions.

Here is where our data analytics tools come in. We use ingredient testing, research and animal performance data to set nutrient levels, fine-tune feeding programs, and make decisions that maximize every pound of feed. Then we keep tracking that data to adjust as needed. Experience plus data tells a story that drives animal production results that matter.

What We Track

We collect a wide range of data, including:

Animal performance:

Feed conversion ratio (FCR), daily gain, body weight, livability, carcass and breast meat yield, egg production, egg size, fertility, and more.

Ingredient testing:

Nutrient levels like protein, fat, fiber, energy, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. We also test for contaminants like mycotoxins and track particle size for quality control.

Performance data often comes straight from your records (feed usage, harvest weights, egg counts), and testing is done through our own lab, Veritas Agrilabs, or other trusted labs.

Tools That Make the Data Work for You

We take raw numbers and turn them into tools you can use:

Paralax:

A web-based dashboard for producers that helps you see laying hen production data in a graphical form over time.

Power BI Dashboards:

Custom views of your herd or flock’s key metrics, designed to help you spot issues fast and make better decisions with confidence.
