The Purpose This decision aid is to help you calculate the cost for providing selected nutrients to your co
only part of your costs for making it avaiable; you also must pay to transport and feed it. In
associated with the hauling and feeding,there is an added cost when some of the feed is lost
haul and feed material that is wasted compounds the costs.
Objective 1 The first objective is to compare the effective cost for a specific nutrient from different availa
by dividing the sum of the costs for purchasing, hauling, storing and feeding a feed by the po
animal after losses including waste are subtracted. In this way, the most inexpensive source
after all associated costs and losses have been taken into account.
Objective 2 The second objective is to determine the total quantity and effective cost of feeds needed for
