Dairy TMR feed calculator.
Estimate dry-matter intake and as-fed green fodder, dry fodder and concentrate from a selected ration split.
Dairy TMR feed inputs
Planning calculation only. Milk procurement rules, test equipment calibration, ration formulation, animal health, processing losses, local regulations and farm records must be checked before payment, feeding or production decisions.
Method: Dry-matter intake combines entered body-weight DMI percentage with a visible milk-yield allowance. Each ration share creates dry matter, then divides by its selected dry-matter content to give as-fed quantity.
Inputs used: Animal body weight = 450 kg; Daily milk yield = 15 L/day; DMI percentage of body weight = 2.5 %; Green fodder share of DMI = 40 %; Dry fodder share of DMI = 25 %; Concentrate share of DMI = 35 %; Green fodder dry matter = 20 %; Dry fodder dry matter = 90 %; Concentrate dry matter = 90 %
Assumptions: The result uses the values, units and options shown in the input snapshot.
Scope and warnings: Planning calculation only. Milk procurement rules, test equipment calibration, ration formulation, animal health, processing losses, local regulations and farm records must be checked before payment, feeding or production decisions. Rounding and excluded real-world terms can make an external result differ.
How this dairy tmr feed calculator works
Dry-matter intake combines entered body-weight DMI percentage with a visible milk-yield allowance. Each ration share creates dry matter, then divides by its selected dry-matter content to give as-fed quantity.
A worked example
A 450 kg animal at 2.5% body-weight DMI plus 15 L yield allowance has a visible DMI screen before its green, dry and concentrate split.
Is this a complete ration formulation?
No. Energy, protein, minerals, forage analysis, stage of lactation, health and local feed quality require a qualified animal-nutrition plan.
Calculations run on your device. Review your results before exporting or sharing them.
Build the ration from dry matter
As-fed fodder quantity changes with moisture, so the calculator first creates a dry-matter screen and then converts each selected ration share back to an as-fed amount.
Forage testing, milk yield, stage of lactation, minerals, health and feed availability require an animal-nutrition plan. Do not feed a calculated mix without qualified review.
