About FeedCel
What is FeedCel?

FeedCel is designed for poultry farmers, feed millers, veterinarians, animal health professionals, farm managers, consultants and students learning poultry nutrition and feed formulation.

Formulation and bird stages
Can FeedCel formulate broiler feed?
Yes. Users can choose the relevant broiler production stage, select available ingredients, enter prices and review practical formula, nutrient, cost and mixing information.
Can FeedCel formulate pullet and layer feed?
Yes. FeedCel supports practical formulation decisions for pullet and layer stages. The correct stage should be selected because growing pullets and laying hens do not have identical requirements.
Why must I select the correct production stage?
Nutrient needs change as birds grow and enter production. A formula suitable for a young chick may be unsuitable for a grower, finisher or laying hen.
Does FeedCel guarantee flock performance?
No app can guarantee biological performance. Ingredient quality, disease, water, housing, heat stress, feed intake, weighing, mixing and general management all affect results.
Costs, quantities and currencies
Does FeedCel calculate feed cost?
Yes. Enter current ingredient prices and FeedCel estimates feed cost per kilogram and per 25 kg bag.
What batch quantities does FeedCel show?
FeedCel presents practical ingredient quantities for 100 kg and 1,000 kg batches.
Which currencies does FeedCel support?
FeedCel supports Nigerian naira, US dollars, euros, British pounds, Ghanaian cedis, Kenyan shillings and South African rand.
Why should prices be updated regularly?
Ingredient prices change. Using current prices gives a more useful cost estimate and helps prevent decisions based on an outdated formula cost.
Does the calculated cost include every production expense?
The estimate is based primarily on formula ingredients and their entered prices. Users may need to consider milling, labour, fuel or electricity, transport, bags, storage, finance and wastage separately.
Access and responsible use
Where can I download FeedCel?
FeedCel is available for Android devices from the Google Play Store.
Can FeedCel work offline?
FeedCel is designed to remain useful for formulation work without continuous internet access after installation.
Can FeedCel check ingredient quality?
FeedCel can work with ingredient information, but it cannot physically inspect an ingredient. Users must check for mould, adulteration, poor processing, wrong identity, contamination and unsuitable storage.
Can FeedCel replace a veterinarian or animal nutritionist?
No. FeedCel is a decision-support tool. Professional advice remains important when ingredient quality, flock health, performance or unusual farm conditions are uncertain.
Important limitation
A formula result is only as useful as the ingredient information, prices and practical conditions behind it. Always inspect ingredients, weigh accurately, mix thoroughly, provide adequate clean water and monitor the flock after any feed change.
