Overview

The Feed Value Calculator calculates the relative value of crude protein, total digestible nutrients (TDN), calcium and phosphorus, based on the market price and nutrient content of four reference feeds (barley grain, canola meal or wheat distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) or feed peas 1:1 mineral and limestone.

A cost factor is then calculated for each nutrient.  The cost factors are used to calculate the relative values of other feeds based on their nutrient content.  Detailed user instructions are provided in the "Market Price of Reference Feeds" and "Relative Feed Value" worksheets.
