Calculate daily feed intake and protein requirements for pigs, poultry, cattle, sheep, and other livestock.
Calculate daily feed intake, monthly and yearly feed requirements, and crude protein needs for pigs, poultry, cattle, sheep, and more. Input animal type, body weight, number of animals, and growth stage. Plan feed purchases, budget accurately, and ensure optimal nutrition.
You ordered 5 tons of pig feed for 200 finishers and ran out 10 days before the next delivery. The feed store had a 3-day backorder, and your pigs lost an average of 2 kg each during the gap. That is 400 kg of lost gain — about $800. This calculator tells you exactly how much feed to order and when.
Select animal type and growth stage, enter average body weight in kilograms, number of animals, and feed cost per kilogram. Click calculate to see daily feed consumption per animal and total, daily protein requirement, monthly feed consumption, and monthly feed cost.
The feed calculator helps you determine daily feed requirements and protein needs for pigs, poultry, cattle, sheep, and other livestock. It calculates based on animal weight, type, growth stage, and number of animals. Proper feed planning ensures optimal growth and avoids overfeeding or underfeeding.
A: As percentage of body weight: pigs 3-5%, broilers 5-8%, layers 4-6%, beef cattle 2-2.5%, dairy cows 3-4%, sheep 3-4%, fish 2-5% of body weight. Younger, growing animals eat more as percentage of body weight than mature animals. Adjust based on body condition score.
A: Starter/grower diets need higher protein: broiler starter 22-24%, pig starter 18-20%, calf starter 16-18%. Finisher diets lower: broiler finisher 16-18%, pig finisher 14-16%, beef finisher 10-12%. Layer diets need 16-18% protein for egg production. Always provide free-choice minerals and clean water.
A: Daily feed cost = Daily feed intake (kg) × Feed price (€/kg). Monthly cost = Daily cost × 30. Total cost to market = Average daily intake × Days on feed × Price. Track feed conversion ratio (FCR) to measure efficiency: lower FCR = lower feed cost per kg of product.
