Learn to plan and balance farm animal rations with clear, practical methods.

This guide distills decades of feed research into approachable, math‑based steps you can use on your own farm. It shows how to read feeding tables, calculate digestible matter, and tailor a diet to your animals and conditions.

The book lays out the four main groups in both animals and feeding-stuffs, explains how to use digestible portions, and demonstrates how to balance a ration for growth, maintenance, and production. It also includes planning tools for a season’s feeding, so you can map costs, stock, and market options to your goals.

Learn which ingredients contribute water, ash, protein, fat, and carbohydrates, and how much of each the animal actually digests.
Compare feeding-stuffs using digestible matter and cost per unit to find the most economical options.
Balance protein and energy to meet growth, milk production, and maintenance needs while watching the nutritive ratio.
Plan a season’s feeding around stock numbers, housing, and market prices to optimize both performance and cost.

Ideal for farmers, feeders, and extension readers who want a practical, numbers‑driven approach to animal nutrition.
