RimWorld Livestock FAQ

How much hay does an animal eat per day?

Most animals eat 1-2 nutrition/day of hay; large ones (muffalo, elephant) eat 6-12. Plan fields for winter.

Can animals graze instead of eating hay?

Yes — animals eat grass when allowed to roam. Keep them inside or penned with a hay stockpile for winter.
