Copyright 2009. Oklahoma Board of Regents Oklahoma A&M Colleges. OSU Cowculator is an excel program designed to assist cattlemen in making informed decisions associated with beef cow nutrition. Animal criteria (such as cow weight, body condition, stage of production and breed), as well as the feed and forage library can be customized to each operation or to specific scenarios within an operation. Animal requirements and performance predictions are based on years of research data, including the 1996 and previous versions of the National Research Council's Nutrient Requirements of Beef Cattle. Cowculator can be used as a decision making tool for individual operations and is especially useful as a teaching tool. NOTE: If the user has no training in nutrition, use of this program should be limited to checking proven formulas to verify that they are adequate for the class of cattle being fed. Simply meeting the requirements calculated by this program does not guarantee that the ration is safe to feed. Where can I get a copy? If you are a resident of Oklahoma, we encourage you to visit your County Ag Educator to obtain a copy of the software. If you live outside of Oklahoma and wish to obtain a free copy of Cowculator, visit our download area. or Send 1 blank disk to: Dr. David Lalman And enclose a written request for the Cowculator v2.0 software. |
