Nutritive values of feeds

This website contains the results of tests conducted on animal feeds over many years. These tests are no longer carried out as a routine service, so no new data have been added in recent years.

The database is particularly useful in times of drought and other emergencies. Alternative feeds such as kelp, sawdust, cereal-factory waste and other industrial by-products have been analysed alongside typical feeds such as wheat, oats and maize.

The information contained in this database system is based on knowledge and understanding at the time each test was conducted. However, because of advances in knowledge, users are reminded of the need to ensure that information upon which they rely is up to date and to check currency of the information with the user’s independent adviser.

Warning: Residues in feeds will affect the marketability of meat and milk products. Australia’s export markets depend on all producers being vigilant about residues. Please read the warning about residues.
