OSU Cowculator Worksheet

Instructions:
Go to the balancer tab on the excel sheet. This is where you will adjust the diet for each
scenario. Pay attention to the cost of the feed (cheaper the better), the protein ratio (Must be 1.00
or greater), the DM intake, and the estimated ADG to formulate the best diet for your cow.
Once you finish the diet have it checked, and then print out the Summary Sheet.
