  • Patent number: 10537122
    Abstract: The present application provides systems and methods for analyzing animal feeds and for adjusting animal feeds to improve the digestibility of animal feed components. Digestibility of animal feed can be determined by performing in vitro digestion of the feed and analyzing concentrations of residual components in the digested feed by NIR spectroscopy. Animal feed compositions can be adjusted to improve digestibility of components in the feed. The systems and methods of the present application can be used to determine the effect of an additive on the digestibility of feed.

  • Patent number: 10169070
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable and executable medium embodiments for managing virtual machine pool demand are described herein. One method for managing virtual machine pool demand includes determining a demand for a number of virtual machines in a pool using data received, identifying the demand for the number of virtual machines in the pool is outside a threshold number, and sending a request for an additional virtual machine to a user to manage demand of the pool.
