Homework # 11 Ration for Dairy Cow, % CP in ration method Balance a ration for a milking dairy cow to contain: CP = 16 % Ca = .66 % P= .41 % Feed 27 % Corn Silage Feed 23 % Alfalfa Feed 5 % Brewers Grains Feed 3 % Whole Cotton Seed Leave 2% slack space for Vitamins & Minerals and include .5% salt & .1% Vit-TM mix Check the ration for K and S. Requirement is 1.0% K and 0.2% S.

Step 1
- Corn Silage: 27% - Alfalfa: 23% - Brewers Grains: 5% - Whole Cotton Seed: 3% - Salt: 0.5% - Vit-TM mix: 0.1% - Slack space: 2% Total allocated = 27 + 23 + 5 + 3 + 0.5 + 0.1 + 2 = 60.6% Show more…

Balance a ration for a pig to contain 15% crude protein, 0.5% phosphorus, and 0.6% calcium. Leave 3% initially for vitamins and minerals, and use corn, sorghum, and soybean meals. Include 20% sorghum, 0.50% salt, and vitamins at 10 pounds/ton and trace mineral premix at 2 pounds/ton. Add extra corn (on the "other" line) to finish filling the slack space. Calculate the % TDN in the ration. To save time, you DON'T have to calculate the amount of Dical and Limestone - merely show how by setting up the equations. Then use the following figures: Dical = 0.93, Limestone = 0.88 Feedstuff Analysis (%): Feed CP Ca P TDN DM Corn 9 0.02 0.28 90 88 Sorghum 8 0.02 0.27 86 30 SBM 44 0.25 0.60 85 90 Dical 0 22.0 18.5 0 100 Limestone 0 38.0 0 0 100 Answers: Corn _________ Sorghum _________ SBM _________ Dical _________ Limestone _________ Salt _________ Vit Premix _________ TM premix _________ Other __________ Total __________ What is the % TDN in Ration _____________

BALANCE 100 POUNDS OF A RATION FOR SWINE TO CONTAIN 18.1 PERCENT PROTEIN. MAKE THE RATION CONTAIN 15 PERCENT Oats AND USE CORN AND SOYBEAN MEAL TO SUPPLY THE NEEDED AMOUNT OF ADDITIONAL PROTEIN. LEAVE 3 PERCENT OF THE RATION FREE FOR VITAMINS, MINERALS, ETC. BALANCE THE RATION TO CONTAIN 0.6 PERCENT CALCIUM AND 0.5 PERCENT PHOSPHORUS. Make it contain: 2 lbs/Ton of Trace Mineral premix 6 lbs/Ton of Vitamin premix 0.25% salt 250 PPM Copper from Copper Sulfate 1 lb per Ton of Selenium premix 80 Grams per Ton Tylosin After balancing the ration, CALCULATE the percent LYSINE. USE THE FOLLOWING INGREDIENT COMPOSITION: (values are in percent) PROTEIN, CALCIUM, PHOSPHORUS, LYSINE ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- CORN 7.5 0.02 0.29 0.24 Oats 12.5 0.10 0.44 0.97 SOYBEAN MEAL 48.8 0.25 0.60 2.88 DICALCIUM PHOSPHATE 0 24.0 18.5 LIMESTONE 0 38 0 Tylan-10 contains 10 grams Tylosin/lb. CuSO4-5H20 contains 25 percent copper. PLACE YOUR ANSWERS HERE: Percent TON CORN ---------- ---------- Oats ---------- ---------- SBM ---------- ---------- DICAL ---------- ---------- LIMESTONE ---------- ---------- SALT ---------- ---------- TM Premix ---------- ---------- Se Premix ---------- ---------- VIT Premix ---------- ---------- TYLAN-10 ---------- ---------- CU SULFATE ---------- ---------- OTHER ---------- ---------- ----------------------------- TOTAL 100 2000 PERCENT LYSINE IN RATION ______________
