How Adriana Busi Improved Feed Efficiency with Dinamica Generale’s Solutions

In 2021, Adriana Busi, farm manager of “I Tigli”, faced a challenge familiar to many modern farmers: how to manage feed and herd efficiency more accurately while reducing manual workloads.
Her farm relied heavily on paper records, making it difficult to monitor feed consumption, track costs, or delegate tasks efficiently.

“I realized I needed to move away from paper and adopt a more flexible system that would allow me to delegate responsibilities and gain better control over my farm’s economics—especially feed management,” Adriana recalls.

She wanted a solution that could:

• Track feed inventory and usage over time.
• Provide accurate economic calculations.
• Empower her team to work more independently.

Finding the Right Solution: Dinamica Generale’s Precision Feeding System

Adriana chose to implement Dinamica Generale’s feed management software (DTM – Daily TMR Manager), combined with advanced weighing systems and NIR (Near Infrared Reflectance) sensors.

This technology quickly became the backbone of her farm’s feeding operations.
With the software, Adriana could:

• Create precise feed rations and synchronize them between her PC and the mixer wagon.
• Monitor feed component costs and operator accuracy.
• Calculate Income Over Feed Cost (IOFC) with greater precision.
• Manage feed inventory effectively, even during challenging periods like 2023 when silage quality was poor.

“Our operators received proper training and quickly became more autonomous. The system not only supports them but also helps them grow in competence and confidence,” Adriana explains.

DTM software – Simplifying Daily Operations

One of the greatest advantages Adriana noticed was the software’s user-friendly interface.
Even her father, who was less familiar with modern technology, was able to use it comfortably.

The mobile app and cloud integration allowed Adriana and her team to:

• Access the system from anywhere.
• Delegate tasks while maintaining oversight.
• Track operator performance and feeding accuracy in real time.

“Having cloud access means I can monitor the farm even when I’m not physically there. It gives me peace of mind and flexibility,” Adriana says.

Unlocking Greater Precision with the NIR Sensor

To further enhance her operation, Adriana integrated Dinamica Generale’s NIR sensor into her mixer wagon.

The NIR sensor provided daily dry matter analysis of silage, allowing the software to adjust feed rations automatically based on real-time data.
This ensured:

• Consistent and accurate feed mixing.
• Better management of feed refusals and inventory.
• Increased milk production due to improved ration precision.

“The NIR sensor was a game changer. It allowed us to adapt quickly to variations in feed quality, which made a noticeable difference in both efficiency and milk output,” she notes.

From Manual Guesswork to Data-Driven Decisions

Before implementing the system, Adriana’s team had no reliable way to calculate IOFC or assess feed efficiency. They relied on rough estimates and manual record-keeping.

After adopting Dinamica Generale’s solution, everything changed:

• Detailed, real-time data enabled technical discussions with her nutritionist.
• Feed efficiency and profitability improved significantly.
• Operators gained the skills and tools needed to work more independently and accurately.

“Now, I can truly measure how much we spend and how much we earn. This data-driven approach has elevated our farm’s performance,” Adriana says.
