Use the amount actually fed per animal. Keep feed and price in the same weight unit. Changing the unit converts both amounts.

02 / YOUR ESTIMATE

Your feed estimateLet’s do the maths.

Enter a whole number of animals, a daily amount and a feeding period to see the result.

An estimate based on a constant daily ration. Allow for changes in intake, waste and local conditions when ordering feed.

How to use this estimate

Multiply the number of animals by the feed given to each one per day, then by the number of days. Add your price per kg to see the estimated cost. Use your own ration: feed needs vary with age, production, weather and feed quality.

If you buy feed by the bag, divide the bag price by its weight to find the price per kg. This calculator does not formulate a balanced ration.
