Feeding and costs

Build rations from your own feed, compare the gain they produce and find out what each kilogram of gain costs.

1. 1

   Enter your feeds

   Add each feed with its dry matter, energy, protein and price per kilogram. Typical values are shown as a guide; a laboratory analysis of your own feed is better.

   
2. 2

   Build a ration

   Combine the feeds per head per day. The ration calculator shows whether the energy and protein cover the needs for the weight and gain you aim for, and what the ration costs a day.

   
3. 3

   Compare rations

   Assign a ration to a group for a period. From the weighings the app shows the gain each group achieved on each ration and the feed it took per kilogram of gain.

   Expenses and the cost of gain

   Record expenses for an animal, a group or the whole herd. The Cost of gain report divides them by the kilograms gained, per group and per animal.
