Least-Cost Feed Ration Balancing Calculator

Description

Stop overpaying for feed you don’t need

Commercial feed is convenient, but it’s rarely the cheapest way to feed your pigs — especially if you have access to local or on-farm ingredients that a bag of feed doesn’t account for. This pig feed ration calculator lets you build your own least-cost rations from what’s actually available to you, balanced properly by a working nutritionist’s formulas, not guesswork.

What’s included

• A library of 41 ingredients to choose from, covering common energy, protein, and fibre sources
• 16 ingredient slots per ration — pick the combination that matches what you can source and afford, including 7 compulsory ingredients built into every formulation for nutritional completeness
• 6 ready-made formulations, already balanced and ready to use:
  • Creep
  • Weaner
  • Grower
  • Finisher
  • Sow and boar
  • Lactating sow
• Automatic balancing — change an ingredient or its price, and the sheet recalculates the ration for you

Who this is for

This calculator is built for pig farmers who want to:

• Cut feed costs by formulating rations around locally available ingredients
• Adjust rations as ingredient prices or availability change, without paying a nutritionist every time
• Move beyond a single generic feed program and tailor rations to each stage of production

Room to grow

Need more flexibility than 16 ingredient slots down the line? Additional ingredient slots can be added to your sheet for a small add-on fee — so the tool can grow with your operation instead of you having to replace it.
