Question
Problem 2. Formulate a ration for a steer gaining 0.75 kg/day which maximizes
the use of roughage. The nutrient requirements are shown in the
following table:
Requirements of the steer (250 kg):
Available feeds:
DM
TDN
DM
TDN
Amount
6.4 kg
3.8
Napier
22%
55%
% of DM
59.4
Rice bran (D,)
88%
80%
2b. If the requirement is not met from feeding Napier grass alone, a high energy
concentrate like rice bran (D,) is used to replace part of the Napier grass. Rice
bran (RB) is locally available and contains 80% (TDN). Calculate the proportion
of the Napier and RB using the Pearson square method. How many kg DM will
be supplied by the Napier grass and RB, respectively, to meet the 6.4 kg
requirement of the steer? Show your solution:
