Presented by WATT Global Media
The Animal Feed Formulation Library is a group of commercial feed formulas for major farmed animals. They were developed to represent common current practices in the United States and Europe. Their role is to provide an educational example for those not directly engaged in commercial animal nutrition. As such, these formulas remain incomplete and generic, focusing only on the basic principles of nutrition.
A qualified nutritionist with knowledge of local conditions could use these formulas as a starting point to create farm-specific finished results with authority and responsibility.
To start, please review the disclaimer below and read the General Information page to understand how these formulas were created and what they can or cannot be used for before perusing these formulas.
Table of Contents
In 2020, WATT Global Media and Ioannis Mavromichalis, Ph.D. published a series of animal feed formulas as a general information resource material. These formulas are not complete, but the exclusions, such as additives and vitamin/mineral premix specifications, are either covered in other publications or will be published in the future as part of this library of feed formulas.

- Feed formulations for white US layers in the development phase
- Feed formulations for US white layers in the production phase
- Feed formulations for EU red layers in the development phase
- Feed formulations for EU red layers in the production phase
