Everything about your horses’ feed — from lab report to daily ration

You did the responsible thing. Sent forage samples to the lab, got back a report with energy content, protein, and minerals. Then the report ended up in a binder, and the feed plan was scribbled on a whiteboard in the feed room.

Three weeks later, a new barn member gives Doris double her mineral supplement — because “that’s what the board said.” Except it didn’t. Someone had wiped her row when adding a new horse.

The problem isn’t a lack of effort. The problem is that a whiteboard doesn’t scale.

The old way

Most stables manage feeding with some combination of:

• A whiteboard in the feed room — works until someone erases the wrong row
• Printed sheets — wet, worn, and never updated
• A spreadsheet on the office computer — nobody opens it at 6 AM in the barn
• Memory and habit — “Doris usually gets two scoops, I think”

The result? Horses getting the wrong rations, feed costs nobody tracks, and lab results that never make it into daily practice.

How EquiDuty’s FeedStat module works

FeedStat connects the entire chain: from the forage analysis you already have, through individual feed plans, to the daily feeding routine in the barn.

1. Import your forage analysis

Upload your lab report directly in the app. EquiDuty reads the nutritional values — energy (MJ), crude protein, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and trace elements — and stores them linked to a forage batch.

Have two different haylage types in stock? Create a batch for each. When you switch to a new delivery, create a new batch with the fresh analysis values.

2. Set up forage batches

Each batch has a name, nutritional profile, and volume. For example:

• Haylage Andersson 2025 — 9.2 MJ/kg DM, 120 g crude protein
• Hay Ekbacken — 7.8 MJ/kg DM, 85 g crude protein

You link the batch to the horses eating that particular forage. When you switch supplier or lot, update the batch — and every feed plan built on it recalculates automatically.

3. Build individual feed plans

This is where it gets useful. Select a horse, enter weight and activity level, and EquiDuty calculates the daily requirement. Then add:

• Forage — pick a batch, set kg per day
• Concentrates — type, amount, nutritional content
• Supplements — minerals, salt, oil, any extras

FeedStat totals energy intake, protein, and minerals — and shows how that matches the horse’s needs. If Nova (550 kg, moderate work) is short on magnesium, you see it immediately in a clear summary.

4. Daily feeding in the barn

The person on feeding duty opens the app and sees exactly what each horse gets. No interpreting handwriting, no guessing:

• Nova: 8 kg haylage Andersson, 1.5 kg pellets, 40 ml linseed oil, 1 scoop Krafft Miner Pellets
• Doris: 10 kg haylage Andersson, no concentrates, 1 scoop salt block
• Rio: 6 kg hay Ekbacken, 2 kg pellets, 50 ml linseed oil

Each feeding can be logged with a single tap. You build a history and can spot if a horse consistently leaves feed behind — or if someone misses a ration.

5. Track costs

FeedStat calculates what each horse costs in feed per day and per month. Enter the price per kilo on the forage batch and on the concentrates — the system handles the rest.

Suddenly you see that Rio’s feed plan costs 52 kr/day while Nova’s is 38 kr/day. Not because Rio eats more, but because the linseed oil and the pricier concentrate drive the number up. Data instead of gut feeling.

What difference does this make in practice?

Before EquiDuty:

“I’m not really sure what the lab results mean, and the feed plan on the board is probably outdated.”

With EquiDuty:

“I can see Nova is 2 grams short on magnesium compared to her requirement. I adjust it in the app now, and whoever feeds tomorrow morning sees the updated ration.”

No information gets lost. No handwritten notes getting soaked. Everyone sees the same thing, in real time.

Get started

You don’t have to change everything at once. Start with what you have:

1. Create a free account — FeedStat is included in the Starter plan
2. Upload your latest forage analysis and create a batch
3. Set up a feed plan for one horse — try the one with the most complicated diet
4. Invite whoever does the feeding — they see the feed plan directly in the app

Within a week you’ll know exactly what each horse eats, what it costs, and whether nutritional needs are met. The whiteboard can finally retire.

EquiDuty is built for stables. FeedStat is included in all plans — start free and upgrade as you grow.
