Pearson's Square nutrition calculator
Pearson’s Square (also called the Pearson Square, the box method, the rectangle method) is a great tool to help you determine the proper mixture of two different feedstuffs to reach a particular nutritional percentage.
Normally you would have to do the math manually. We wanted to give you an easier way to get your mixed ration calculations done quickly, so we built a Pearson's Square calculator for you to use.
This is a particularly useful tool when you're trying to combine feedstuff for winter feeding or to simply optimize your animals' intake for proper growth and health while not having any feed waste.
