The Feed Calculator app allows small and medium scale livestock farmers and feedmills to optimize their own feed mixes.

Easy to use:
Within three simple steps you can optimize your own poultry feed based on available ingredients and prices.

High quality standard:
All feed norms are developed by Dutch feed experts to ensure you got high quality feed recipes.

Always the lowest price:
The build-in algorithm calculates a high-quality recipe for the lowest possible cost. This is the solution for the fluctuating ingredient prices.

Animal species:
Currently the Feed Calculator supports feed mixes for Broiler - Layer - Pig - Catfish - Tilapia. More animal species coming soon!



Background;

Situation:
Millions of farmers in developing countries don't have access to high quality affordable feed for their livestock. The feed mixes they have access to, or make is often of inconsistent quality. This results in low outputs for their livestock. Think fewer eggs per bird, and less milk per cow.

When farmers mix their own livestock feeds, they are faced with the following issues: which ingredients should be mixed together, and how much? Is this mix suitable for my animal species? And what to do when an ingredient from the recipe is no longer available?

Innovation:
Together with a team of feed experts Single Spark developed the Feed Calculator app. This app integrates years of scientific knowledge and accessibility within an easy to use smart phone app.
It allows small-scale livestock farmers to optimize their own feed mixes.

Optimizing a feed mix means that the algorithm calculates a high-quality recipe for the lowest possible cost. This app creates personal recipes based on available ingredients, current prices, and the selected animal species such as broiler, layer, dairy, beef, goat, sheep, duck, fish, etc.

Pilot study:
To test out our app, we carried out a pilot study in Tanzania, Rwanda and Malawi over 5,000 birds and 22 broiler farmers who fed two equal-sized groups of birds simultaneously. One group was fed with regular commercial feed; the other group was fed with Feed Calculator feed. The results were impressive: on average the broiler farmers lowered their feed cost by 30%, and increased birds weight by 15% at sale point. Altogether this resulted in an 80% profit increase!

Potential:
This is just a start but the potential to scale the Feed Calculator is huge. Millions of farmers have the potential to increase both their livestock productivity, and their income. Millions of tons of feed are wasted because farmers have neither the capacity nor the access to the knowledge and tools that are available in developed countries. The Feed Calculator is about to change this, and their lives!
