Valuing Feed on Moisture Content

Moisture content is an important consideration when comparing feeds. Sometimes we want to find out the adjusted weight of a crop when it is dried, or to adjust the purchase price of silage based on a certain moisture content. When moisture is removed from a sample, the weight goes down, but the nutrient content such as protein increases in the remaining sample. This calculator will enable you to determine the adjusted weight or adjusted nutrient content when moisture content of a sample changes.
