Feed Calculator

Work out the cheapest poultry feed mix that meets your birds’ needs, with your own prices. Choose broiler starter, grower or finisher, or white- or brown-egg layers; every target (energy, protein, lysine, methionine, calcium, available phosphorus, fibre) starts at the NRC (1994) figure and can be edited. Sixteen common feeds – maize, sorghum, cassava, brans, soybean, groundnut, cottonseed and palm kernel meals, fish meal, minerals, lysine, methionine and premix – with composition from Feedipedia, plus your own feeds. If the targets cannot all be met, it says how far each one can go. The solver is written in Rust and runs in your browser as WebAssembly.
