Introduction

You can use the feed cost calculator to compare the value of livestock feeds on an energy and crude protein basis.

You select from a range of common feeds, and the calculator provides estimated values for the dry matter, energy and crude protein. You're able to change these, if you've obtained your own feed test values. 

When you enter a price per tonne, the tool then calculates the value of the feed on an energy and crude protein basis.

The tool will also determine the energy, protein and cost results of any feed mix combination, up to four selected feeds.
