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.
