The document discusses the significance of fine-tuning feed formulation, quality control, and production using data management strategies. It highlights the cost savings achievable through careful handling of raw material nutrient variations and implementing integrated platforms for quality control. The advantages of this approach include enhanced accuracy, transparency, and overall cost efficiency in feed production.
