  24. Problem … Sick Weaned Feeder • 600 lb … Intake ~ 1.1 % BW (DMB) … intake = 6.6 lbs DM • Protein Requirement = 1.9 lbs CP • Receiving Ration = 13.2% CP … 600 x 2.5% BW = 15 lb x 13.2% = 2 lb CP • Soy Bean Meal (SBM) = 48% • How much SBM must be added to meet the sick calf’s requirements?

  25. Answer … Sick Weaned Feeder • Intake 6.6 lbs (DM) … Needs 1.9 lb CP • 1.9 / 6.6 = 28.8 % CP • R-Rat = 13.2 CP – 28.8 = 15.6 parts SBM • SBM = 48.0 CP – 28.8 = 19.2 parts R-Rat • Total … 34.8 parts • R-Rat = 55.2 % , SBM = 44.8 %

  26. Assignment … Problem • 100 lb animal … Sick … • Bad intake … 1% BW (DMB) • Nutrient requirement = 1/3 (.330) lb • Feedstuff 1: Nutrient % = 28% • Feedstuff 2: Nutrient % = 49% • Question: How much FS1 & FS2 should be mixed together to meet the requirement?

  27. Assignment … Problem • 100 lb animal … Sick … • Bad intake … 1% BW (DMB) • Nutrient requirement = 1/3 (.330) lb • Feedstuff 1: Nutrient % = 28% • Feedstuff 2: Nutrient % = 49% • Question: How much FS1 & FS2 should be mixed together to meet the requirement? FS1) 28 16 33 FS2) 49 5 ------ Total Parts 21 100lb x 1% = 1 lb DMB, 0.33lbReq/1lbDM = 33% Person Square: 28 – 33 = 5 part FS2 & 49 – 33 = 16 parts FS1 Total parts = 21, 5 / 21 = 24% of FS2, & 16 / 21 = 76% of FS1
