The breakeven is small. The upside can be substantial.
For Example dairy, EnerG-3 needs 1.25 lb of milk per EnerG-3-fed cow/day to cover the net replacement cost, or 0.75 lb/cow/day when spread across the full herd. The modeled milk response is 4.05 lb/day, or about 3.2× the milk needed to breakeven. From a calf-value perspective, the annual EnerG-3 investment is covered by about 106 additional retained calves. This model estimates 340 additional retained pregnancies across the full herd.

Pregnancy gain vs calves needed to breakeven

Compares total modeled increase in retained pregnancies with the number of additional calves needed to cover the annual EnerG-3 investment.

Breakeven views are shown independently: milk breakeven assumes milk response alone covers the annual product investment, while calf breakeven assumes additional retained calves alone cover the annual product investment.

Calculation assumptions

This calculator provides estimates based on user-entered assumptions. Default milk response and reproductive improvement assumptions are conservative estimates based on EPA/DHA equivalency and controlled research. Actual results will vary by herd, ration, reproductive program, milk price, calf value, market conditions, and management factors.
