We leveraged input from our veterinarians and artificial intelligence to identify key considerations to help you find the best cattle feed.
We scanned thousands of customer reviews and ratings and scored each product based on its performance against each of the key considerations. We then considered how popular a product is with Chewy customers and combined that with its key consideration scores to create the list of the best cattle feeds.
Key cattle feed considerations
Digestibility
The digestibility of a feed refers to how easily it can be broken down and absorbed by the animal's digestive system. A highly digestible feed can help improve feed efficiency and reduce the risk of digestive issues in cattle.
Health Benefits
Cattle feeds that offer additional health benefits, such as improved immune function or better coat condition, can greatly benefit the overall health and well-being of the animals. This can lead to better performance and lower healthcare costs for the farmer.
Nutritional Content
This is important because it determines the overall quality and effectiveness of the feed in meeting the nutritional needs of cattle. A well-balanced and nutrient-rich feed can help improve the health and productivity of the animals.
Palatability
Cattle are picky eaters and their willingness to consume a feed greatly affects their overall intake and health. A feed that is palatable and appealing to cattle will ensure they consume enough to meet their nutritional requirements.
