Agricultural Modeling and Training Systems

What Agricultural Modeling and Training Systems does

Agricultural Modeling and Training Systems, LLC (AMTS) is a privately held software company founded in 2005 and headquartered in Groton, New York. The company develops precision ration formulation software for dairy, beef, and small ruminant (sheep and goat) feed operations, built on the Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System (CNCPS) v6.5.5, a mechanistic biological model licensed exclusively to AMTS from Cornell University. The platform uses non-linear, research-derived equations to predict nutrient utilization in the rumen, microbial yield, and metabolizable energy/protein supply, allowing nutritionists to remove safety factors that typically lead to nutrient overfeeding.

AMTS sells a modular software suite including AMTS Nutrition (ration formulation), AMTS Silo (cloud storage), AMTS Feeds Manager (cloud-based feedbank), AMTS MixAlot (mix optimization), AMTS.GrowingCattle, AMTS.Small Ruminants, AMTS.Feedbank Manager, and AMTS SSO (user administration). The platform integrates with herd management systems (PCDart, DairyComp, DSP-Herdeplus), feed mill labeling software (Feed Mill Tag), and dairy analytics tools (Dairy Margin Tracker). The company distributes through direct website purchase and a network of 10 regional channel partners across 22 countries on five continents.

Revenue is generated primarily through annual software subscriptions to commercial users, with discounted academic licenses for teaching (free) and research (half price), plus per-diem training services and technical support. The company employs 11-50 staff and is founder/management-owned with no disclosed institutional investment. Customers are primarily professional nutritionists, feed mill operators, and dairy/beef cattle operations, with a secondary academic segment.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Cargill Animal Nutrition: Major global feed manufacturer with proprietary internal ration formulation tools (e.g., Maximus) used across its dairy and beef nutrition consulting practices. Competes with AMTS at the formulation layer inside the largest feed companies.
• Nutreco / Trouw Nutrition: Global animal nutrition leader with proprietary formulation platforms and nutrition consulting. Competitor to AMTS for enterprise feed-mill customers seeking integrated nutrition software plus premix products.
• GEA Farm Technologies: Large industrial dairy equipment vendor with integrated farm management and feeding software. Broadly comparable to AMTS as a comprehensive dairy management provider rather than a ration-formulation specialist.
• DeLaval (DelPro): Global dairy equipment and farm management platform whose DelPro software suite includes herd and feed management. Overlaps with AMTS on dairy cattle operations via integrated feeding functionality.

Direct peers

• dsp-Agrosoft GmbH: German feed and farm management software vendor that has been developing tools for farmers, veterinarians, and consultants for over 20 years. Simultaneously distributes AMTS in DACH and offers its own competing products, putting it in direct peer status.
• Valley Agricultural Software (VAS): U.S. provider of dairy herd management software (DairyComp, PULSE) including feed management modules. Directly comparable to AMTS for U.S. dairy operations, with a broader farm-management suite that overlaps AMTS nutrition functionality.
• Format International: UK-based developer of feed formulation software (FeedExpert, WinFeed) for multiple livestock species. Directly comparable to AMTS as a specialist in ration formulation tools sold to nutritionists and feed mills globally.

Others

• Rock River Laboratory: U.S. forage and feed analysis laboratory whose 3RLAB joint venture already partners with AMTS in Brazil. Comparable as a forage/feed data provider feeding into AMTS ration workflows rather than a direct software competitor.
• Eurofins Agro: Global agricultural testing services provider (forage, feed, soil) that supplies nutritional data used in ration formulation workflows. An adjacent enabler to AMTS rather than a direct software peer.
• Dairy One: U.S. cooperative providing forage and feed lab analysis plus ration formulation services using CNCPS-aligned models. Complementary data source and partial substitute for AMTS's diet creation workflow among nutritionists.
