[QUOTE="Texas PaPaw, post: 756961, member: 2905"] Am trying to formulate a grow ration for 3-500 lb calves. Corn gluten feed and soy hull pellets will comprise the majority of the ration and cottonseed hulls will be the fiber source. When using the OSU ration calculator, the lower the % cs hulls the higher the adg, better conversion and lower the cost of gain. I'm wondering what the minimum % cs hulls could be and still provide adequate fiber/scratch factor. The cgf and soyhulls are both high in fiber but due to their digestibility their effective NDF (eNDF) is greatly reduced. Does any one know the minimum effective NDF (eNDF) would be for this scenario. Where can one find this info? Have done a google search and did not find anything definitive. Thanks for your assistance. [/QUOTE]
