Erik Brodshaug from TINE and one of NorFor’s feed experts have presented EanaFôr — the new Norwegian feed planning software based on the NorFor system — to researchers at NMBU - Norwegian University of Life Sciences

Using Ås Gård as a practical example, Erik demonstrated how the NorFor model can be applied to evaluate feed quality and calculate feed rations based on feed analyses in NorFor FAS.

We hope the session provided valuable insights for both teaching and scientific work. Close collaboration between NorFor and researchers in animal nutrition is essential for continued development and innovation, and universities are important partners and stakeholders for NorFor.

EanaFôr is developed by MIMIRO

🌱 Exploring Sustainable Dairy Nutrition with NorFor – Meet PhD Student Markos Managos! 🐄📚

Meet Markos Managos, PhD student at SLU, who is soon defending his thesis on how to design dairy cow diets with a lower environmental impact.

Through a series of feeding trials and LCA calculations, Markos shows that choosing feed ingredients with lower environmental footprints can reduce emissions at the system level.

With NorFor, Markos could simulate intake, energy balance, and emissions for both dairy cows and heifers, making it easier to plan realistic and meaningful experiments.

“NorFor helped me design nutritionally balanced diets while keeping environmental impact in mind,” he says.

📅 Save the date!
Markos will defend his thesis “Feed Rations in Dairy Production and Their Climate Footprint – Linking Experimental Feed Trials with Life Cycle Assessment” at SLU on November 28, 2025.
The defence will be followed by the seminar “Sustainability aspects on dairy diets.”

🔗 Information on how to attend both events and the full interview can be found at:

Higher profit, Increased feed efficiency, Improved animal welfare, Sustainable and environmental friendly. Optimal utilization of home-grown crops. Take animals requirements, available feedstuffs and prices into account.

Nicolaj Ingemann Nielsen (SEGES Innovation & NorFor) shared how the NorFor system help advisors and farmers to calculate the correct dose of 3-NOP in the dairy rations, at his presentation with the title “Implementing methane mitigation strategies on Danish dairy farms without compromising N-efficiency” on the 76th EAAP conference in Innsbruck, Austria.
