DIY Homemade Farm Animal Feed
DIY Homemade Farm Animal Feed
Make an all in one animal feed to feed all your farm animals
Everything is so expensive! Can I get an Amen? Food products are so untrustworthy. I am still shocked about the recent problems with hen feed and hens laying reduction. I have been making my DIY homemade animal feed for a few years. The good thing is its an all in one feed. It is a homemade chicken feed, homemade hog feed, and it is a homemade dairy cow feed. It is too bad the dogs and cats wont eat it. All the grains I buy come from Azure Standard.
With competitive price and timely delivery, Future Fortune sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.
Whole Barley
Whole barley with its outer hull can provide for 70-80% of total digestible nutrients with 7-10% protein. If feeding whole barley to ruminants it needs to be soaked to prevent bloat.
Mixed Wheat
Azure mixed wheat is a mixture of Hard Red Winter and/or Spring wheat. Wheat contains 11-15% protein.
Field Peas
Field peas are going to be high in protein so I use less than the whole grains. Protein macros for field peas are 19.6%.
Whole Oats
Whole oats are highly nutritious with a high content of fat at 6%. Oats contain 8% fiber and 13%protein.
Sorghum Milo
Sorghum milo is and excellent animal feed to substitute for corn. Milo has a crude protein of 9%, crude fat of 2.5%, and crude fiber of 3%.
Ratios I use for my homemade farm animal feed
The ratios for my animal feed mix are as follows 4lbs of barley, 4lbs of mixed wheat, 2lbs of field peas, 4lbs of oats, and 2lbs of sorghum milo. At this ratio, it yields around 13% protein. I layer this combination in a larger trash can. This blend is just the base of what the farm animals eat daily, so you build from here. Make sure you soak the grains for optimal nutrition and ease of digestion. Fill your feed bucket of dry grain with water and add 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar and a glug (2 tablespoons of so) of molasses. I also use dried kelp for micronutrients and 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds for added fat. Let the animal feed soak at least 12 hours before feeding it to the animals.

Production Animal Feed Formulation Module
Why is Surface Mount Reflow Ovens Better?
Transform Your Workflow with CNC Oscillating Cutting Machine
The module will identify personnel responsible for production animal feed formulation, identify differences in diet formulation between species of animals and phase production within a species, and compare principles of least-cost formulation to other methods of feed formulation. This grain module is brought to you by the Iowa Grain Quality Initiative , and was produced by the former Crop Adviser Institute.

Learning objective:
Identify personnel, differences in diet between species, and compare principles of least-cost formulation to other methods of feed formulation.Introduction:
With one billion tons of animal feed produced worldwide annually, the industry needs individuals who understand feed formulation. An animal&#;s nutrient requirements are constantly fluctuating due to changes in genetics and the animal&#;s physiological state.Species feeding:
Animal species is the most influential factor in dictating nutrient needs. Chickens and pigs are fed corn based diets and ruminants are fed roughage based diets. All production animals have diets that contain vitamins, trace minerals, and salt. The specifics of nutrient requirements in diets by species are known and form the basis for feed formulation.Phase feeding:
Feed programs must meet nutritional requirements based on the animal&#;s stage of growth or production, genetic capacity, health, and facilities. There are different diets for various physiological states, but constantly changing diets can lead to errors in feed manufacturing. Nutritionists should consider costs, nutrient requirements, and practicality regardless of species or growth phase.Least-cost formulation:
To formulate a least-cost diet, the formulation team must look at the ingredient cost, the nutrient composition, and the animal&#;s nutrient requirements. Nutritionists often decide to not feed least-cost diets and instead choose diets that will minimize excreted nutrients.Identify personnel, differences in diet between species, and compare principles of least-cost formulation to other methods of feed formulation.With one billion tons of animal feed produced worldwide annually, the industry needs individuals who understand feed formulation.
