We released an update to OverseerFM on 1 July 2025.
The update of the Overseer model to version 6.5.10 updates the methodology for determining grass fed status to align it with the “New Zealand Dairy Grass-Fed Administrative Standard” and the “New Zealand Meat Grass-Fed Administrative Standard” issued by MPI in June 2025 2025 (more information and the standards can be found on the MPI website here)
Changes made to the software address:
- Alignment of grass-fed calculations with the new MPI standards
- Extension of grass-fed calculations across all enterprise types
- Grass-fed reporting enhanced in the "Animal Reports" section of each farm analysis
- Grass-fed reporting added to the Milk pool reporting, Milk Platform and Red Meat Platform reporting
- Updates to some DM and ME coefficients
