How to calculate livestock feed
This calculator finds total feed requirement by multiplying number of animals, average weight, and feed rate as a percentage of body weight.
How the calculation works
Total feed = Animals × Average weight × (Feed rate ÷ 100).
Example
50 animals averaging 1,000 lbs at a 2% body weight feed rate: 50×1,000×0.02 = 1,000 lbs of feed.
