Product Substitution
"Can Product A replace Product B?" is one of the most common questions a feed mill faces, especially after a supply disruption. We answer it step by step.
How we assess a substitution
- Specification
- Nutritional equivalence
- Inclusion
- Cost
- Trial
- Performance
Why a step-by-step approach
Two products with similar names can differ in purity, form and nutritional value. We compare them on an equal basis, work out the inclusion that gives the same nutritional contribution, calculate the cost difference, and recommend a trial before a full switch where the change is significant.
