Feed cost calculator

Please note: This content may be out of date and is currently under review.

This tool can be used to work out the lowest cost of a number of different sheep feeds.

It can also be used to work out the feed value of a chosen mix of feed in terms of its energy and protein value and provide a cost per tonne, per megajoule of energy and per kilo of protein.
