Ration formulas

Ready-made feed ration formulas

Each formula on this page is solved with the same least-cost engine that powers our feed formulation calculator, then published as a mixing sheet: inclusion percentages, kg per 100 kg and kg per tonne, the resulting nutrient profile against the reference specification, and an indicative cost per tonne. Take the recipe as-is, or re-solve it with your own delivered raw-material prices.

How to read these reference rations

Each published ration is a reference starting point: indicative inclusion ranges and nutrient targets for a species and stage, using widely available raw materials. Real formulation must be re-run against local ingredient analyses, current prices and the destination's additive rules. Use these to brief suppliers and sanity-check quotations, not to feed animals unchecked.

What this page gives you

Species and stage rations with indicative inclusion ranges
Nutrient targets stated with units and basis
Downloadable summaries for supplier briefing and internal review

What a quotable brief needs

Fields required before suppliers can price a feed requirement
Field	Why it changes the price
Animal type and production stage	Sets nutrient targets and acceptable ingredient list
Monthly or annual volume (t)	Decides whether bulk, big-bag or containerised pricing applies
Delivery country, port and Incoterm	Drives freight, duty and landed-cost comparability
Specification or accepted range	Protein, moisture, contaminant limits and required certificates
Payment and financing preference	LC, CAD or reviewed financing changes the supplier shortlist
Target start date and contract length	Spot, quarterly or annual supply attract different offers

Frequently asked

Can I send a reference ration to a supplier as a specification?

Send it as a target, and ask the supplier to confirm achievable nutrient values with their own raw materials. Suppliers price against nutrient targets and constraints, not against someone else's ingredient list.

Are these rations veterinary or nutritional advice?

No. They are commercial reference material. Final rations require sign-off by a qualified nutritionist and must comply with local feed legislation.

Is FeedMatch Group a manufacturer, trader or lender?

None of those. FeedMatch Group is an independent B2B matching and procurement-intelligence platform. We structure the buyer brief, benchmark it, and route it to relevant suppliers or service providers; contracts, goods and any financing sit between the buyer and the counterparty.

What size of project does the platform handle?

The platform is built around industrial feed procurement and feed-project scopes from roughly USD 250K upward, including recurring ingredient contracts, feed mill build-outs and equipment packages. Smaller enquiries are answered but are not the platform's focus.
