LGM-DAIRY FEED EQUIVALENTS CONVERSION

1. Select the feed you want to convert to corn and SBM equivalents from the pull down menu
2. The tool will provide the CP and NEL (Avg. 3x & 4x) for the selected feed (NRC, 2001)
3. CP and NEL values can be edited for a more precise calculation (leave blank when no edits needed)
4. Green cells indicate the conversion factors in terms of corn and SBM according to NRC (2001)
5. Results are presented in blue colored cells ad corn and SBM equivalentes to be used in the LGM-Dairy.


Equation as per NRC 2001 Corn and SBM Equation
