SOLUTION: formulate a ration for 300 kg heifer to grain 0.50kg
 
STEP 1: write down the nutrient requirement

STEP 2: list down the available feeds….%DM….

Rice bran D188   80 15.3.071.62
Ipil – ipil90   67 24.442.200.30
 
STEP 3: calculate if the napier grass alone satisfies the TDN requirement 

7.1kg DM x

53.5
Napier 55% TDN26.5 parts
 
 
rice bran 80% TDN1.5 parts
28 total parts
 
26.5/28x100    = 95%
1.5/28x100      = 5%
95% napier x 7.1 kg DM  = 6.74kg DM from napier
5% rice bran x 7.1 kg DM  = .35 kg DM from rice bran

7.1 kg DM required 
-6.74  kg DM from napier grass
0.36 kg DM to come from rice bran and ipil-ipil leaf meal
0.36 kg DM/35g DM x 100 = 1.28 DM
 
 
 
 
 

1.28
Rice bran 80% TDN.66 parts
 
 
Ipil-ipil LM67 % TDN.79 parts
1.45 total parts
 
 
 
.66/1.4 x 100  = 47% rice bran
.79/1.4 x 100  = 56% ipil – ipil LM
 
.35 kg DM x 47%  = .17 kg rice bran
.35kg DM x 56%  = 18 kg ipil –ipil LM
 
 
The final ration is as follows:
FEEDS                    amount(kg)              TDN(kg) CP(g)            Ca(g)       P(g)
Napier grass  6.743.77   64.3 28.38     26.3

Total  : 41   30           530  69.17      54.3
 
 
 
 
 
On an as feed basis the animal should receive the following per day
 
Napier grass 
 
 
Rice bran D1
