CU Livestock Feed Ration Calculator

We are excited to announce the development and release of a new online calculator for livestock feed rations. Please share this with any livestock producers you know. The web app calculates nutritional analysis and generates mix sheets for custom mixes of over 500 feed ingredients. You can even email the outputs to yourself so that you can print the results and/or revisit the site to make adjustments to batch weights. We hope that you will find this new tool useful. If you have any questions on its use or suggestions for improvements, please let us know. See below for direct link and sample outputs.

Many thanks to Kendall Kirk at the Edisto REC for his hard work in development of this tool!
