About this calculator
The bovine feeding calculator is a useful tool for veterinarians and farmers who want to calculate the quantity of feed needed for the animals.
It calculates the feed based on the live weight of the animal, following the recommendations of 2-3% of the live weight, but with a more precise formula of 2.5%.
This calculator is especially useful in cases where one needs to provide the right amount of feed for animals of different weights and ages, ensuring their well-being and healthy growth.
Frequently asked questions
What is the live weight of the animal?
The live weight is the weight of the animal excluding the weight of the skin, internal organs and other secondary tissues.
In what cases is the 2.5% formula more recommended than the 2-3% range?
The 2.5% formula is more suitable for animals of different ages and weights, as it provides a more precise estimate of the amount of feed needed.
Can I use this calculator for other types of animals beyond bovines?
No, this calculator is specific to bovines and uses specific formulas and recommendations for this species.
What should I do if the calculator result is too high or too low?
If the result is too high, it is likely that the animal is overweight and needs less feed. If it is too low, the animal may be losing weight and needs more feed.
