Even better cattle feed

A feed manufacturer wants to optimise its supply chain by accessing data on the characteristics and nutritional requirements of cattle. This data is essential for developing feed formulations adapted to different phases of animal growth. However, manufacturers are finding it difficult to access this data, as it is dispersed between different sources and is not always available in a timely fashion.
