It is important to compare feed costs on a “unit nutrient basis” which really means just getting the most bang for your buck. This approach will come in useful for all feed costs, but especially when you are comparing and pricing out different supplements. There are three pieces of information about the feed in question that you will need in order to do this calculation: 1) total price per ton, 2) percentage dry matter of the supplement (% DM), and...
