This calculator provides an approximation of ammonia emission based upon currently available information from USDA NRCS Agricultural Waste Management Field Handbook and LPES Lesson 21: Manure Storage Structures.
This calculator estimates of whole-farm ammonia emissions suggest that as much as 35% of the total ammonia emissions may occur during land application of manure depending on manure characteristics and environmental conditions.
This software helps producers make manure nutrient decisions based on livestock operation, storage capacity, application equipment, landbase, soil test results and crop selection.
This calculator determines the amount of carbon source material and water needed to create a good compost mix. The calculator is primarily intended for manure composting, however it can be used for other materials as well.
It is designed to help land managers plan detailed feed and cow management strategies to achieve an acceptable or target animal unit density per acre based on appropriate nutrient additions in the field.
BeefAIChoice is a spreadsheet based partial budgeting program that allows you to compare the expected results from the use of synchronization and artificial insemination (AI) with that of natural service for a beef herd.
This calculator can help you to price livestock feeds based on both energy and protein content. Depending on feed ingredient proportions of digestible energy and crude protein, feeds can be priced based on the contributions they make to the ration.
CowProfit$ is designed as a starting point for producers to develop and use their own basic cost and returns profiles with the main emphasis on cow herd.
This calculator compares the costs, on a dry matter basis, of: pit silage, bagged silage, bale silage, and dry hay. It calculates the costs from a standing crop to animal-ready product in the yard, factoring in standing crop value, equipment costs as well as field and storage losses.
This calculator is intended to assist producers to determine whether creep feeding will be economically beneficial to the operation. Often, the decision is based solely on "the weight gain" expected. This calculator will show the economic gain expected.
The Hog Shipping Evaluator allows farm managers to evaluate their shipping effectiveness based on the weight distribution and average index of the hogs shipped. It is available for free download from this web page.
