Feed unit converter
Percentages, g/kg, kg/t, g/t, mg/kg and ppm in one go; and the conversion from grams per head per day to percentage of the ration, given the daily intake.

1% = 10 g/kg = 10 kg/t = 10,000 g/t = 10,000 mg/kg = 10,000 ppm.
Table of equivalents
| Value | g/kg | kg/t | g/t | mg/kg = ppm |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1% | 10 | 10 | 10,000 | 10,000 |
| 0.1% | 1 | 1 | 1,000 | 1,000 |
| 1 g/kg | 1 | 1 | 1,000 | 1,000 |
| 1 ppm | 0.001 | 0.001 | 1 | 1 |
Dose and percentage: % of the ration = dose in g/head/day ÷ (intake in kg/head/day × 1,000) × 100. Worked example (test values): 200 g/head/day with 20 kg of ration = 1% (10 g/kg).
General conversion formulae (ppm by mass, mg/kg). Dose and intake must be expressed on the same basis, as fed or dry matter.

How it works and sources
All units are converted to grams per kg: 1% = 10 g/kg = 10 kg/t = 10,000 g/t = 10,000 mg/kg = 10,000 ppm. For the dose per head: % of the ration = grams per head per day ÷ (kilograms of ration per day × 1,000) × 100. These are general formulae; dose and intake must be expressed on the same basis.
