The purpose of dry forages like
these is normally to supply energy,
so we are most interested in the
TON values. Differences in pro

matter contents are the same, so
the easiest way to compare dollar
value is by dividing the TON val
ues of one hay by the other (in this
example, 38/59= 0.644) and then
dividing the price of the second
hay by this
number(sso.oo/.644=577.63).
This is the equivalent per-ton value
of the two hays, so the grass
legume hay, at $70.00/ton, is the
cheaper feed.

Alternatively, the value of the
grass hay relative to the other cal
culates out at only $43.08 ($7O x
,644)/ton. 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.

These methods are useful in
comparing two feeds for a particu

contains a unique combination of
many nutrients. Least-cost compu

of the nutrients in the feed and their
ability to meet a particular set of
