Feed Ingredients · Calculate & Specify
Convert your validated inclusion rate into batch quantities
This is arithmetic, not advice. You supply the inclusion rate your own formulation work has already validated; the calculator converts it into the quantities a batch sheet and a purchase order need, and shows the formula behind every number so it can be checked by hand.
Your validated inclusion rate
This tool has no default rate and will not propose one. Enter the rate your own formulation work has already established.
Result
Every figure shows the formula behind it so it can be checked by hand.
Enter a rate and a batch size to see the arithmetic.
What this arithmetic does not cover
- • The inclusion rate is yours. This tool has no default rate and will not propose one.
- • Arithmetic assumes a perfectly proportional mix; it does not model carryover, segregation or sampling variation.
- • As-supplied conversion uses the declared active content you enter, which must come from the lot documentation.
- • Rounding for purchasing is shown separately so the exact figure stays visible.
- • Nothing here establishes permitted use, nutritional adequacy or finished-feed compliance.
Use this when
- A validated inclusion rate has to become a per-batch weight.
- A rate expressed in ppm or g/kg has to be converted to kg per tonne.
- A production plan has to become a purchase quantity and a bag or pallet count.
- You want the arithmetic shown so it can be verified independently.
How this works
- 1. Enter the inclusion rate you have already validated, in the unit you hold it in.
- 2. Enter batch size and the number of batches planned.
- 3. Read the converted quantities and check each displayed formula.
- 4. Adjust for as-supplied basis where the material carries a declared active content.
What this page does not determine
- It never suggests, defaults to or recommends an inclusion rate — the rate is always yours.
- It does not decide whether a rate is permitted, safe or nutritionally appropriate.
- It does not account for mixer carryover, segregation or analytical variation.
- It does not confirm mix homogeneity; only your own testing does that.
- It draws no nutritional, therapeutic or performance conclusion of any kind.
Relevant Allzone products
These are catalogue identities relevant to investigate. A listing here is not a statement that the material is suitable for your feed, and it is not a permitted-use, safety, nutritional or performance claim.
- DL-MethionineCrystalline racemic methionine supplied as a dry powder.
- L-Lysine HClHydrochloride salt of lysine; the stated assay is the salt, not free lysine.
- PhytaseEnzyme supplied by declared activity (FTU/g) on a carrier, not by mass purity.
- Dicalcium PhosphateMineral phosphate; P and Ca content are stated on the specification, not assumed.
- Silicon Dioxide (Feed Grade)Synthetic amorphous silica flow agent used on premixes and hygroscopic micro-ingredients.
- Vitamin A AcetateVitamin declared in IU/g on a carrier and coating, not as a pure substance.
- Selenium YeastOrganic selenium source declared as mg/kg Se on the as-supplied product.
- Zinc Sulphate MonohydrateTrace mineral salt; hydrate state changes the elemental content of the material.
Where this comes from, and what it cannot tell you
Unit conventions used in feed documentation (%, g/kg, g/t, ppm, mg/kg)
Supports: These units are fixed proportional relationships and convert exactly, with no assumption added.
Limitation: Conversion is arithmetic only. It says nothing about whether the converted quantity is appropriate.
Application-independent · Fixed conventions
Declared active content on supplier specifications and certificates of analysis
Supports: Where a material declares an active fraction, the as-supplied quantity differs from the active quantity by that declared factor.
Limitation: The declared figure is lot-specific and must be read from the documentation of the lot you receive.
