Feed budget calculator
Work out days of feed on hand, daily demand and whether the platform is in surplus or deficit. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is sent or saved.
Daily deficit
−360 kgDM/day
Growth of 5,400 kgDM/day against demand of 5,760 kgDM/day.
- Days of feed on hand
- 17.7 days
- Feed available above residual
- 102,000 kgDM
- Area needed per day
- 6.8 ha
- Round length
- 17.7 days
- Demand per hectare
- 48 kgDM/ha/day
- Stocking rate
- 2.7 head/ha
These are guide figures based on the numbers you enter. Measured cover from a farm walk will always beat an estimate — the Pasture Ai app measures cover per paddock from a photo and keeps the budget current.
How the calculation works
- Feed available = (average cover − residual) × platform area.
- Daily demand = herd size × (intake − supplement fed).
- Daily growth = growth rate × platform area.
- Days of feed = feed available ÷ daily demand.
- Round length = platform area ÷ area needed per day.
