(Continued from Pago C 4) 82% dry matter, 59% TON, 11% crude protein, priced at $7O per ton. • Grass hay: 3rd cut, 82% dry matter, 38% TON, 10% crude pro tein, priced at $5O per ton. The purpose of dry forages like these is normally to supply energy, so we are most interested in the TON values. Differences in pro tein value are minimal, and dry Table 1.

This is the equivalent per-ton value of the two hays, so the grass legume hay, at $70.00/ton, is the cheaper feed.

If the dry matter con tents of the hays under comparison differ, we must determine the val ue per unit of TDN. If the grass legume mixture was 82% dry mat ter, and the grass 88% dry matter (and all other things as before), the value per unit of TDN for each of the hays is calculated by first cal culating the pounds of dry matter in a ton (multiply 2,000 by-dry matter percentage), and then tak ing this figure times each hay’s TDN percentage. This gives the total pounds TDN in the load and the price per unit is the price per ton divided by this factor. The grass-legume mixture above contains 1,640 lbs DM (2,000 x .82 = 1.640) and 967.6 lbs TDN (1,640 x .59). The per-pound price is $0,072 ($7O/967.6=5.072). Similar calculations for the grass hay show the TDN price to be $0,074 (2,000 x .88) x .38=668.8; $50.00/668.8=5.074. This method can be used to compare any two feeds, whether for TDN, crude protein, or mineral content, as long as the nutrient of interest and the drymattcr contents are known.

Least-cost compu ter ration formulations are avail able through feed dealers, exten sion agents, and home software programs. They will help to "fine tune” the ration and account for all of the nutrients in the feed and their ability to meet a particular set of animal requirements. SAVE 40-70%!
