Calculate livestock feed cost per head, feed cost per day, feed cost per pound, feed cost per ton, total feed cost, delivery cost, supplement cost, and total feeding expense. Use this feed cost calculator for cattle, sheep, goats, horses, pigs, poultry, hay, grain, silage, and mixed rations.
Total feed cost:
Enter feed per head per day, number of head, feed days, feed price, delivery cost, handling cost, waste, and reserve to estimate total feed cost.
Cost per head:
The calculator divides total feed cost by head count and feed days to estimate cost per head per day.
Dry matter cost:
Feed moisture is used to estimate dry matter percentage and cost per pound of dry matter.
Feed value comparison:
Protein and TDN percentages are used to estimate cost per pound of protein and cost per pound of TDN.
A feed cost calculator helps estimate livestock feeding expense before buying hay, grain, silage, concentrate, or supplement.
It can help compare feed price, landed cost, feed waste, dry matter cost, cost per pound, cost per head, total tons, and ration expense.
Your result shows estimated total feed cost, feed cost per day, cost per head per day, total feed pounds, total feed tons, landed feed cost per ton, cost per pound, dry matter cost, bales or bags needed, supplement cost, mineral cost, and feed value metrics. These are estimates based on the values you enter.
Multiply total feed tons by landed feed cost per ton, then add supplement and mineral costs. Landed feed cost includes feed price, delivery, and handling.
Divide total feed cost by the number of head and the number of feed days. This gives an estimated daily feeding cost per animal.
Divide total feed cost by total feed pounds. To compare feeds with different moisture levels, use cost per pound of dry matter.
Feed waste accounts for feed lost during storage, handling, weather exposure, trampling, refusals, and feeding method losses.
