Over the last couple of years there have been some questions about making your own feed. Now that I am here full time I am starting to make and supplement my feeds. Sometimes I mix the regular feed and the supplement depending on what I am trying to do. I am not saying this is for everyone, but I find I can shave a few baht off my feed bill without hurting my output.

I don’t have a pellet mill so feed everything as a mash. I use soybean meal now, but when I did this a few years back I used feed for baby pigs that was around 34% protein. I don’t have access to fishmeal. I either let my animals free range or provide them with fruits and vegetables. There are some special things I do to fatten those destined for the pot.

I have a spread sheet I use, but have not been able to upload it so if anyone knows how, I’d appreciate hearing about it. I am including a photo of it and hope to upload it soon. Here is a picture of the spreadsheet:

Mate, re the spreadsheet, I don't think you can upload it as a 'spreadsheet' ... it's not a permissable file.

I hope you don't mind, and trying to help, I've cropped the photo and stored it for you.

Let me know if you don't want it displayed like this and I can delete the image from PhotoBucket.

David, that is great. Konwan put up a spreadsheet for cassava years ago and that is where I got the idea. If anyone wants it, just PM me.
