[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 762359, member: 6897"] Depends on the quality and source of fiber. A better way to look at fiber is to consider the ADF (Acid detergent fiber (indicator of digestibility) and Neutral Detergent Fiber (fill factor) of a fiber source rather than Crude fiber or what we often just refer to as "fiber". High fiber diets are excellent as long as it is highly digestible fiber and is utilized rather than just filling an animal up which actually inhibits feed intake, makes for a lower calorie diet, thus less energy and slower weight gain. From what you gave me the fiber in your feed is excellent. You could replace the molasses in the mix with soybean oil and raise the energy considerably and still get dust control. (and oil doesn't evaporate). I'm not necessarily suggesting this..only mentioning it. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
