Experience by use of NorFor.Nina and Inge Brekke
�NorFor and TINE OptiFôr used since the start in 2007
� The experience is very good.
� utilise the system to formulate and control rations
� Evaluate forage quality and production response
� Used in combination with an economical evaluation program (EK)
� Set target milk yield and seasonal feed planning
� Use the system to understand changes in feeding responses
� Feeding strategy:
� According to standard lactation curve after 90 days
� TINE OptiFôr (The Norwegian computer tool)
� User friendly and easy to learn, although it is a complex system

Experience by use of NorFor.Torill Midtkandal and Johan Øvreeide Godø
�NorFor and TINE OptiFôr used since the start in 2007
� The experience is very good.
� utilise the system to formulate and control rations
� Evaluate forage quality
� Setting target forage quality� Using the program as a computer game
�After introduction of the system:
� a very rapid change in production� Higher milk yield
� Higher milk fat content
�An important planning tool when heading for higher milk yield
� TINE OptiFôr
� User friendly and easy to learn

Conclusions
�The use of Norfor is moderate
�The test results are very good
�The system must be combined with efficient feeding
strategies
�The system focus on feed costs and optimum ration
formulation
