[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 509145, member: 6897"] First thing that caught my eye was second line from bottom [b]"NIR CALC TDN". [/b]NIR test are for testing forages and do not give a good indication of the true value of a mixed feed. Check with your lab and see if they have a "Wet Chemistry" test and if so send them another sample. Ask them also to test for minerals. They can do vitamins as well but very expensive. ......... But with what this test shows, the feed contains a a good amount of grain, has a pretty good ADF but I'd want it a lower and the NDF is a bit high, has good energy and digestibility, and could use a bit more phos. and calcium. Fat is not going to be accurate on this test but your energy levels are high enough without increasing cost with added fat. Since all these numbers are on a 100% dry matter basis you'll need to recalculate using around 88%-90% dry matter. [/QUOTE]
