If you\u2019re cropping and running livestock, you have two options when it comes to utilising your grain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Sell it to the market<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Feed it to your own animals<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    When your feed conversion is low & your feed efficiency is high, that grain becomes more valuable in your own yards than it is at the silo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With lamb prices at record highs, grain fed to livestock under the right conditions can deliver a much greater return than selling it off farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Barley\"
    Barley<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Here\u2019s a simple example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If a finished feed ration (Barley 75%, lupins 20%, ProAgni ProTect 5%) is $460 per tonne, and you can convert one tonne into 250 kg of live weight using a 4:1 feed conversion ratio, and lambs are selling for $4.60 per kg, that same tonne could
    return $1150 in saleable weight. Compare that to $460 sold off the farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The difference is feed efficiency. The better your conversion, the more valuable your grain becomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to calculate the value of your grain based on a 4:1 Feed conversion (kg eaten: kg liveweight)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    $4.60 (liveweight value per kg) divided by:
    $1.84 (46c = 1kg full feed ration x 4)
    ___________________________________
    = 2.5 x multiplied value of grain<\/p>\n\n\n\n


    ProAgni helps producers lift feed efficiency and reduce waste, turning homegrown grain into higher margins.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
