What is the Dairy Feed Cost per Litre Calculator?
In dairy farming, feed is about 60-70% of the total cost. If you know your feed cost per litre, you know if your milk price gives you a profit.
Enter your milking and dry animals, milk per animal, the daily feed each animal eats and the prices. Add labour and vet costs. We show the feed cost per litre, the full cost per litre, profit per litre and per month, and a simple thumb rule for how much concentrate to feed.
