How to view cost per litre on DairyLogs

Open the DairyLogs cost per litre report for production cost breakdown by labour, feed, utilities, and vet.

Reports → Cost per litre shows cost per litre produced, total production cost, breakdown by labour/feed/utilities/vet, feed by ingredient, and controls for what to include in the calculation.

Before you start

Milk sessions and operating expenses/feed consumption should be logged for the period.

Steps

Open Cost per litre: Go to Reports → Cost per litre (/dashboard/reports/cost-per-unit).
Set the period and inclusions: Choose the date range and which cost buckets to include so the litre cost matches how you manage the farm.
Read the breakdown: Inspect labour, feed, utilities, and vet shares, plus feed-by-ingredient detail, to see what is driving unit cost.
