Formula and method
Daily dry matter = animals × body weight × intake fraction. Feed offered = dry matter × (1 + waste fraction).
The calculator estimates dry-matter demand and adds a user-entered allowance for refusal, spoilage or handling loss.
Worked example
Fifty 500 kg cattle at 2.5% intake require 625 kg DM/day, or 675 kg/day including 8% waste.
Understanding the result
Treat the calculated values as a planning estimate. Compare them with your field records, product information, local conditions and operational capacity before acting.
Important: Results depend on the accuracy of your inputs and the assumptions shown. Local soil, weather, crop, animal and market conditions can change the appropriate decision.
