What is Stocking Rate?

The stocking rate is a measure used in agriculture to determine the number of animals that can be grazed on a particular piece of land for a specific period of time. It is calculated using the available forage and the amount of forage that an animal eats per month.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

SR=2000920=2.1739 animals per month per acre

The Stocking Rate is 2.1739 animals per month per acre.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

SR=1500800=1.875 animals per month per acre

The Stocking Rate is 1.875 animals per month per acre.
