Enter the number of cows, their average weight, and the days of feeding into the calculator to determine the total hay needed.

Hay Consumption Calculation Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the total hay needed for cows.

Total Hay = Number of Cows * Average Weight of Each Cow * Days of Feeding * 0.02

Variables:

  • Total Hay is the total amount of hay needed (lbs)
  • Number of Cows is the number of cows to be fed
  • Average Weight of Each Cow is the average weight of a cow (lbs)
  • Days of Feeding is the number of days the cows will be fed
  • 0.02 is the factor representing 2% of the cow’s body weight as daily hay intake

To calculate the total hay needed, multiply the number of cows by the average weight of each cow, then multiply the result by the number of days of feeding, and finally multiply by 0.02.
