io - the French Feed Database

io - the French Feed Database is committed to the dissemination of reliable and comprehensive information about the chemical composition and nutritive value of feedstuffs. It provides the composition and nutritional feed data for FeedBase.

It is the central hub of a network of 16 member organisations including compound feed manufacturers, raw material producers, R&D institutes and trade organisations. Most of the data stored by the French Feed Database come from the network members’ laboratories, the other source of data being the scientific literature.

The French Feed Database contains composition and nutritional data for more than 4500 raw materials and forages and 1000 parameters, for a total of more than 2.5 million data.
