Making a cattle feed formula requires balancing nutrients to support growth, milk production, and overall health. The main ingredients include energy sources, protein sources, minerals, and vitamins. Energy-rich feeds like maize, barley, sorghum, or wheat bran form the base, usually around 40–50% of the mix. Protein is provided by soybean meal, cottonseed cake, groundnut cake, or sunflower meal, typically 20–25%. Roughage such as rice bran, wheat straw, or silage may be added to improve digestion. Minerals like dicalcium phosphate, salt, and trace mineral premix are essential for bone health and productivity. Vitamin supplements are added in small amounts to support immunity and fertility. Molasses may be included at 5–10% to improve palatability and energy content. For dairy cattle, additional bypass protein and fat sources can be used to enhance milk yield. All ingredients should be thoroughly mixed in the right ratio, ensuring uniform quality. Clean water and proper feed storage are also vital for maintaining the effectiveness of the cattle feed formula.
