Leaf Mills feed division headquarters In London Ontario By punching in what he s looking for in a given tonne of feed what protein to energy ration he has in mind and the costs Involved the computer can work out a recipe In a few blinks of an eye It will list the ingredients in terms of their percentages per volume of feed and break it down further Into vitamin mineral and protein content crude fibers and so on Welton can also ask the computer to list the ingredients in terms of how much each will cost him to make up the final price of the feed The person who really benefits from the
