Optimize Your Fodder Production Based on Animal Count

 

Finding the right fodder system size is crucial for efficient animal feeding and cost-effective farm management — especially in the USA and Europe, where labor costs and feed expenses are high. Agritom’s system calculator instantly estimates the daily fresh fodder volume you’ll need based on your herd size and type.

 

With reliable calculations and smart system recommendations, you’ll match your livestock’s nutritional needs with the most suitable Agritom fodder solution — from compact units for small farms to high-capacity options for commercial operations.


Why Proper Fodder Matching Matters

Why It’s Important:
Proper feed system sizing helps you:

  • Optimize Feed Availability – Enough daily fodder for all animals.
  • Reduce Waste & Cost – Produce what you need, not what you don’t.
  • Boost Animal Health & Productivity – Steady fresh fodder improves performance.
  • Scale Easily – From small dairy to large poultry and sheep/goat operations.

Example Calculation Explanation

Here’s how it works:

  1. Select Animal Type: Dairy cattle, beef cattle, sheep/goat, or poultry.

  2. Enter Animal Count: How many animals you have.

  3. Daily Fodder Need: Based on average daily intake per animal (e.g., 10 kg/day for dairy cattle, 5 kg/day for beef cattle, etc.). agritom.com

  4. System Recommendation: The calculator matches your total daily green fodder need with the correct Agritom model.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q1. What is a fodder system calculator?
A fodder system calculator estimates the daily fresh feed volume required based on your livestock type and number — helping you choose the right hydroponic fodder machine.

Q2. Why should I match system capacity with my herd size?
Producing too little reduces animal performance, while producing too much raises costs and waste. Matching capacity helps maximize feed efficiency.

Q3. Is the Agritom calculator valid for USA & European farms?
Yes — it reflects common animal nutritional standards and feed planning needs relevant to commercial livestock operations in the USA and Europe.
