CattleNutri: Cattle Rations

Build dairy and beef cattle feed rations with nutrient balances and cost information in one place. CattleNutri helps nutritionists and producers formulate diets, review results and explore least-cost options using published NASEM models.

FORMULATE A DIET
Build rations ingredient by ingredient, or start with a verified demo scenario. Manage your feed library and paste lab report text into custom feeds.

REVIEW NUTRIENT BALANCES
Check formulation results with citations to understand the calculations behind a ration.

EXPLORE LEAST-COST OPTIONS
Use the least-cost optimizer to compare ingredient choices within your nutritional targets and available feed information.

WORK OFFLINE
Build and review rations without an internet connection. Optionally sign in to sync saved rations.

PUBLISHED MODELS
Dairy: NASEM Nutrient Requirements of Dairy Cattle, 8th Revised Edition (2021).
Beef: NASEM Nutrient Requirements of Beef Cattle, 8th Revised Edition (2016), empirical (ELS).

Interpretive scores are CattleNutri heuristics and are labeled in the app. Nutritional balances come from the NASEM engines. Results depend on the inputs and assumptions used; review diets with the appropriate nutrition professional before applying them.
