Enter ingredient amounts per cow per day with their dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), and net energy (NEL).

📖 How to Use

Enter animal details, then list each feed ingredient with its daily amount and analysis. The planner compares total nutrients supplied against typical requirements from NASEM (2021).

🧮 Formula Reference

Predicted DMI ≈ 0.372 × BW0.75 + 0.0968 × Milk − 0.0007 × DIM
Crude protein intake = Σ (DM_i × CP_i)
Net energy intake = Σ (DM_i × NEL_i)
