Buffalo IL | I haven't ran the numbers, but I'ld replace the CRP hay with more of the alfalfa hay and more silage. All it is providing is scratch . 3-4 % protein. You are only getting .07 lbs of protein from the crp hay at 2.5 # as fed. The other hay is providing .27 lbs and the silage is .95lbs at 65% moisture or basically around .6 of a lb of protein. 8# x 14% is 1.12lbs of protein. You are darn close on what you need for protein but you may be short on digestibility with the crp hay as the TDN may be pretty low. These are my scientific wild a** guesses. You need 1.8lbs protein at 100% dry matter for 2.4 lbs gain per day according to my old feeds book I found last week. | |
