ANIMAL NUTRITION BALANCING RATIONS
A) You are feeding high producing dairy cattle, and you have a high quality alfalfa hay that is 18% crude protein, you want 20% of the diet to come from corn for its energy (10% crude protein). You are going to mix 100 kg of feed. How much protein (in kg) comes from the corn in the diet?
B) You are feeding high producing dairy cattle, and you have a high quality alfalfa hay that is 18% crude protein, you want 20% of the diet to come from corn for its energy (10% crude protein). You need to determine the percentage of soybean meal (45% crude protein) and percentage of alfalfa (18% crude protein) in the in the alfalfa/soybean mix. You have calculated how much crude protein will come from corn. You need a diet/ration that contains 24% crude protein. What percentage protein do you need in the soybean meal/alfalfa mix?
C) You are feeding high producing dairy cattle, and you have a high quality alfalfa hay that is 18% crude protein, you want 20% of the diet to come from corn for its energy (10% crude protein). You need to determine the percentage of soybean meal (45% crude protein) and percentage of alfalfa in the in the alfalfa/soybean mix. You have calculated how much crude protein will come from corn. You have determined the percentage protein in the alfalfa/soybean meal mix. You are going to mix 100 kg of feed. What percentage of the alfalfa/soybean meal mix will be alfalfa?
D) You are feeding high producing dairy cattle, and you have a high quality alfalfa hay that is 18% crude protein, you want 20% of the diet to come from corn for its energy (10% crude protein). You need to determine the percentage of soybean meal (45% crude protein) and percentage of alfalfa in the in the alfalfa/soybean mix. You have calculated how much crude protein will come from corn. You have determined the percentage protein in the alfalfa/soybean meal mix. You are going to mix 100 kg of feed. What percentage of the alfalfa/soybean meal mix is made up of soybean meal?
E) You are consulting with a farmer who is concerned because his pigs are not gaining as rapidly as they should be. He is feeding them a diet that includes 25% timothy hay (10% crude protein), 25% corn (10% crude protein), 10% oats (11.6% crude protein), 5% vitamin and mineral supplement (0% crude protein), 5% molasses (6% crude protein), 5% soybean meal (44% crude protein, and 25% rice hulls (13% crude protein). If he is using a 100 kg diet, how many kg of protein comes from timothy hay?
