In OverseerFM you are able to add custom data inputs for fertiliser, dairy factory effluent, irrigation lime and supplements. For example, if you use a supplement that is not within the predefined supplements in OverseerFM, you are able to add this in the Custom Composition tab under your profile.
Once the custom data is added, it can be used across all the farm analyses, without having to re-enter the specific data.
To add a custom data input, click on Custom Compositions:
Select + add supplements. An input screen will appear, enter the following information;
-
- Name
- Nutrient Data
- Type
- DM%
- ME (MJ/Kg DM)
- Digestibility %
Once you have completed the details, you can also choose whether you wish to share that custom product with others in your organisation - this may be particularly useful for consultants and corporate farms:
To use the custom supplement once you have created it - under the Supplements tab, simply select + add imported supplements > Purchased, and it will appear under the Nutrient Source dropdown – Copy my supplement feed nutrient category. Select the supplement, enter the weight imported and disturbed to structures, animals or blocks on farm.
Alternatively you can create a new a user defined supplement from within the Supplements input tab by selecting + add imported supplements > Purchased > Nutrient Source > New customer feed nutrients.
Please note: if you want to save the supplement for future use, you will need to create the custom supplement under your user profile.
