Feed cost calculator

The ‘Feed cost calculator’ is an Internet–based program that can be used to compare the value of feeds on an energy and crude protein basis. The user selects a range of common feeds and is then provided with estimated values for energy, protein and dry matter. The user is encouraged to change these values if they have obtained their own feed test values. The user is able to enter a price per tonne for up to four different feeds. The program then calculates the value of the feed on an energy and crude protein basis.

The user can also examine the energy, protein and cost results of any combination of up to four selected feeds.
