The
BEEF module can be used to formulate diets for fattening animals
and young stock being reared for breeding. The animals requirements
are determined according to body weight, rate of growth, sex and
breed. The program calculates the rate of growth achievable for
a given ration. Rations are assessed in terms of dry matter intake,
energy, fibre, protein, minerals and fat. Financial performance
is calculated in terms of margin over all feeds, concentrates and
purchased feeds.
