Summary

This project was carried out to improve MLA's Feed Demand Calculator, a learning tool in the form of an Excel spreadsheet developed as part of the More Beef from Pastures programme. The tool was extended with new pasture data, new options for displaying feed demand and feed supply, new performance indicators, improved help text and several other changes. These enhancements were made in response to user feedback from producers and others, with the aim of allowing the tool to better meet the needs of industry in supporting relevant decision-making processes.
