How to Make Dairy Cattle Feed Formulation

How to Make Dairy Cattle Feed Formulation

In formulating rations or feed preparation, need to use Table benchmark Nutritional Requirements. For example, the nutritional needs in preparation of rations for dairy cows are as follows:

Young female dairy cow weighing 350 kg, one and a half months before birth (birth to age 36 months), need feed with nutrients as follows:

1. Basic necessities of life and reproduction: Dry Material = 6.4 Kg,

2. ME = 13 Mcal,

3. Protein = 570 grams,

4. the mineral = 37 kg.

Lactation I:

Dry Material = 1.0 Kg, ME = 2.02 Mcal, protein = 93.6 grams, Mineral = 5 kg.

So the amount of dry material = 7.4 kg, ME = 15.02 kg, protein = 663.6 grams, Mineral = 42 grams.

Of the nutritional requirements, feed needs can be formulated by a method. For example, feed ingredients available are:

1. Bulrush: Dry Material = 16%, ME = 0.33 Mcal, Protein = 1.8 grams% LB, Mineral = 2.5 g% LB
2. Grass Soybean: Dry Material = 93.5%, ME = 3.44 Mcal, 44.9 grams protein =% LB, Mineral = 6.3 g% LB
3. Coconut cake: Dry Material = 86%, ME = 2.86 Mcal, protein = 18.6 g% LB, Mineral = 5.5 g% LB
4. Bulrush will be used to meet the needs of as many as 80% of dry matter = 80/100X7, 4 kg = 5.92 kg LB. Then the protein content of grass is already fulfilled: as = 1.8 / 100 x 5.92 kg = 106.56 grams of protein.

Disadvantages:

1. Dry matter = 7.4 to 5.92 kg = 1.48 kg

2. Protein = (663.6 to 106.56) grams = 557.04 kg or 557.04 / 1480 X 100% = 37.64%.

3. Soybean meal to meet the shortfall amount: 19.04 / 26.3 x 1.48 kg = 1.07 kg LB.

4. Coconut cake meet the shortfall amount: 7.26 / 26.3 x 1.48 kg = 0.41 kg LB.

Thus, the amount of fresh feed material required to meet the needs of livestock with the above conditions are:

1. Bulrush = 5.92 X 100/16 kg = 37 kg

2. Soybean meal = 1.07 X 100/93, 5 kg = 1.14 kg

3. Coconut cake = 0.41 X 100/86 kg = 0.48 kg.

Thus the way How to Make Dairy Cattle Feed Formulation
