MSU Sheep Extension Program
Montana Sheep Institute
MSU Feed Ration Program
Developed by Pat Hatfield, Ric Roche, Jan Bowman, and
Rodney Kott
The MSU Sheep Ration Program is designed to assist
producers in matching available feedstuffs with the
animal’s nutritional needs. Use this program to:
(1) View sheep nutritional requirements; (2) View the
standard nutrient content of more than 300 feeds; (3)
Enter a custom feed value based on laboratory results;
(4) Balance a ration for sheep at various lifecycle
stages; and (5) Find answers to frequently asked nutritional
questions. This program is based in part on nutritional
recommendations adapted from “Nutrient Requirements
of Sheep,” Sixth Revised Edition, 1985, by the
National Research Council.
This is a FREE on-line program that does not require
any specific type of software. To use the program all
you need is a computer capable of accessing the Internet.
