1. Cattle Feed Formulation Software

Dalex Computer Systems, Inc. was founded in 1980 by Carl L. Alexander, Ph.D., to serve the needs of animal nutritionists working in the field. Carl believed formulation was best done by the individual working closest to the animals. The first products were developed on the Apple IIe computer. Soon after they were rewritten to operate on the IBM Personal Computer when it was released in 1983.

The Consulting Nutritionist was the first product released by Dalex and was received with great enthusiasm. It simplified the nutritionist’s work and provided flexibility never before thought possible.

In 2007, a decision was made to build a completely new software platform, CN.Dalex. This massive investment yielded a platform that is built to handle quickly evolving technology, to take advantage of the “cloud”, and to manage data dissemination second to no other application. This new solution is poised to take Dalex many years into the future.

Since 1980, we have been providing the animal nutrition industry with advanced ration formulation software. Today, using the most up to date scientific models and data, we provide a complete solution to formulate, analyze and monitor livestock feeding situations.

Today, with CN.Dalex as our foundation and a larger scale, Dalex is on a mission to become a software ecosystem for our industry. This means new product concepts and connecting a disconnected industry to allow data and information to flow with more ease and efficiency.
