For fun, I was trying to put my grain and feed additives into this calculator, but I don’t know a lot about nutrition/labels. I am having a hard time knowing what goes where. The abbreviations on the website doesn’t clearly match labels on the guaranteed analysis.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If listing my feeds guaranteed analysis would be helpful, I will lol
Do you mean the DE, CP, etc, across the top?
If so:
DE - digestible energy - calories. Not on labels, but general google searches bring up a lot of them
CP -crude/total protain
Lys - lysine
Ca -calcium
P - phosphorous
Na - sodium
Cl - chlorine
K - potassium
Thank you. I got stuck on the DE!!! I feel dumb. If say sodium isn’t labeled would I be able to find that on a google search too? For example the analysis for shredded beet pulp doesn’t have sodium listed. It has crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber, ash, calcium, phosphorus listed.
If my analysis on my feed bag has a min and a max should I find the average and use that number?
For example Calcium Min- .70% Max- 1.20% sooo enter .95% for the calcium.
I don’t know if/how Speedi-beet differs from “regular” beet pulp, but the listed ingredient is the same - unmolassed beet pulp. Given that, there’s a more comprehensive analysis

Unless you’re feeding quite a lot of beet pulp, I’d consider the sodium fairly insignificant.

Yes, that’s what I’d do for the min/max nutrients, just use the average.
