Question

You are consulting with a farmer who is concerned because his pigs are not gaining as rapidly as they should be. He is feeding them a diet that includes 25% timothy hay (10% crude protein), 25% corn (10% crude protein), 10% oats (11.6% crude protein), 5% vitamin and mineral supplement (0% crude protein), 5% molasses (6% crude protein), 5% soybean meal (44% crude protein, and 25% rice hulls (13% crude protein). If he is using a 100 kg diet, how many kg of protein comes from timothy hay?

Answer 1

1) If he is using 100 kg diet , 25 % of the diet includes timothy hay.It means that 25 kg timothy hay is being used in 100 kg diet.This timothy hey contains 10 % crude protein which means 10% of 25 kg timothy hay is crude protein.It means 2.5 kg crude protein comes from timothy hay.

2) If he is using 100 kg diet , 25 % of the diet includes corn.It means that 25 kg corn is being used in 100 kg diet.This corn part contain10 % crude protein which means 10% of this total corn is crude protein.It means 2.5 kg crude protein comes from corn.

3) If he is using 100 kg diet , 10 % of the diet includes oats.It means 10 kg oats are being used in 100 kg diet.The oats contain 11.6 % crude protein which means 11.6 % of this total 10 kg oats is crude protein. It means 1.16 kg crude protein comes from oats.

4) If he is using 100 kg diet , 5 % of the diet inclused molasses.It means 5 kg molasses is being used in 100 kg diet.The molasses contain 6 % crude protein which means 6 % of this total molasses is crude protein.It means 0.3 kg crude protein comes from molasses.
