Average Daily Gain Calculator
Track whether an animal is gaining fast enough to hit a fair, processor, or marketing target.
Planning estimate only. Growth depends on health, diet, genetics, weather, and shrink. Consult a veterinarian or extension agent for animal health or ration changes.
How ADG is calculated
Average daily gain is current weight minus start weight, divided by days between weights. Required gain is target weight minus current weight, divided by days remaining. Projected target-date weight extends the current ADG forward.
