How much are ingredient price changes adding to your formulation costs?

Mix Monitor: See Exactly What One Ingredient Price Change Does to Your Total Formulation Cost

Automatically track how raw material volatility affects the real cost of your premixes, compound feeds, and custom formulations.

Why This Matters

Monitoring individual ingredient prices only tells part of the story. Most formulations combine dozens of raw materials, and even small price changes across several ingredients can materially change the final cost of a product.

Without a clear way to track that combined impact, it becomes harder to explain cost increases, anticipate margin pressure, or adapt purchasing decisions in time.

Mix Monitor allows procurement and pricing teams to see how market changes affect real formulation costs, so they can respond with greater speed.

How it works

Mix Monitor automatically calculates formulation costs.

1. Ingredient prices are continuously tracked
Price data across key raw materials and markets is monitored and updated regularly.

2. Prices are applied to predefined and custom mixes
Ingredient prices are automatically applied to predefined feed mixes or custom formulations.

3. Mix costs are calculated automatically
The system continuously calculates the total formulation cost as ingredient prices evolve.

4. Cost changes become visible over time
Users can track how formulation costs change as raw material prices fluctuate.

What Mix Monitor Delivers

Predefined Feed Mixes

Access 21 predefined feed mixes covering major livestock and aquaculture sectors.

These standardized mixes provide a consistent benchmark to monitor formulation cost evolution across the market.

Examples include:

Shrimp Compound Feed
Swine ALL-microingredients
Turkey Vitamin Premix
and others

Custom Mix Creation

Mix Monitor allows you to build mixes using more than 170 raw materials available in the platform, with prices that are automatically updated as market data evolves.

You can also add your own ingredients that are not part of the platform’s dataset. In this case, you simply define the ingredient and update its price manually, allowing you to track the full cost of your formulation even when specific raw materials are not covered by market benchmarks.

Automated Formula Cost Tracking

Mix Monitor continuously recalculates formulation costs as ingredient prices change, so you always see how raw material volatility is affecting your mixes in real time.

The system also isolates the contribution of each ingredient within the formulation, allowing you to:

Break down formulation costs by ingredient
Identify which ingredients are driving cost increases or savings
Respond faster with targeted sourcing or formulation adjustments
