Need help.... 8. Use the provided handout tables
8. Use the provided handout tables and determine the requirements for a 1225 lb cow nursing a calf (her calf's expected 7 month weight is 620 1b). She just calved, and you want to know her requirements for the month after calving. During this month it is 10 F (be sure to adjust her energy requirement appropriately). Feed her enough Alfalfa hay (sun-cured, mature; 84% DM, 58% TDN, 18% CP, 1.21% Ca, 0.35% P; all on DM basis) to meet her dry matter intake. Calculate in the table below how much TDN, CP, Ca and P this amount of hay supplies. Are her requirements being met? If not, how much is she short of TDN, CP, Ca and P? (Use dry matter basis for all calculations) (3 pts) TDN, Ib CP, Ib Ca, g P, g Daily Requirements Daily requirements adjusted for environment Ib hay DM supplied Difference (subtract to determine the difference between requirement and what you are supplying) 9. Calculate the amount of hay you are feeding her from above on an as-fed basis. 10. How much barley grain (85% DM, 85% TDN) in lb (dry matter basis) would be necessary to supply the deficit in TDN? (1 pt) 11. Calculate how much barley this would be on an as-fed basis. (1 pt)
