Zusammenfassung:Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for estimating milk production. The system can receive a feed type for a feed provided to a milk producing animal, and identify a digestible rumen undegradable protein (dRUP) fraction of the feed type. The system then estimates a milk protein yield of the feed type using the dRUP fraction and at least one milk protein yield coefficient, each milk protein yield coefficient identifying how an amino acid effects the milk protein yield. The system then indexes the feed type to a known feed type based on the milk protein yield, resulting in an index value for the feed type, and generates a diet plan using the index value, the diet plan identifying an amount of the feed type for the milk producing animal to consume.
