Since inception, Mort & Co has fostered strong partnerships with graziers from around the country, with a culture to improve producer operations.

Predictor Plus is a breakthrough grazing management software that supports Australian producers in optimising the nutrient supply available to their herd, while understanding the nutritional deficits of their operation, to deliver the best production outcomes for their bottom line. The innovative system integrates genetics, pasture nutrition and paddock topography to deliver profit and risk information to rangeland grazing businesses.

THE COMPLETE GRAZING MANAGEMENT TOOL

The most comprehensive software on the market, built to service every aspect of the Australian beef supply chain.

From predicting cash outcomes to measuring livestock emissions, Predictor Plus will keep your business accountable, from end to end.

A NEW LEVEL OF ACCURACY

With in-built manure sampling and sustainability verification services, the Australian cattle industry has not had access to this level of accuracy, until now.

Producers can make more precise decisions on the performance of their herd and better utilise their nutritional resources to maximise their profit.

OF AN ANIMAL’S INTAKE GOES TO SATISFY ITS ENERGY NEEDS*

*Beef Cattle Feeding and Nutritionby Tilden Wayne Perry and Michael J Cecava, p15

Unique to the program, Predictor Plus gathers insights from 3 key grazing management factors that influence an animal’s energy intake and expenditure:

Genetic nutrient demand

Energy is the first nutrient affected by genetic and production decisions, such as weaning age. Predictor Plus presents producers with the energy cost of their genetic and production decisions and the associated effect on protein and phosphorus demand.

Pasture nutrient supply

The nutrient supply of pasture varies throughout the year, across regions and within the same species. Predictor Plus contains a pasture library, enabling users to recognise the maximum nutritional supply and dietary deficits of their pasture.

Paddock nutritional cost

A paddock’s location and topography play an important role in how a grazing animal uses energy. Predictor Plus delivers the energy cost—and the production loss—incurred by animals grazing a particular environment. The program identifies the maximum capital a business can spend on paddock improvements to reduce this nutritional cost.

SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING

With innovation at its core, Predictor Plus delivers a number of strategic outputs, including the greenhouse gas emissions of a grazing strategy. The software can forecast scope 1 livestock emissions, with the opportunity to modify inputs to understand the impact of management decisions and operational costs.

Combined with Mort & Co's manure testing laboratory, Predictor Plus also provides a powerful Resource Use Certificate which validates the sustainability credentials of a grazing business. The accuracy of these outputs position Predictor Plus users ahead of the game in the emerging space of carbon and sustainability.
