Holstein Nutrient Requirements

[PaMike]

I printed off of the web a nutrient requirements sheet for beef steers, but I havent been able to find one for Holsteins. The only reason I am wondering about the difference is because I have heard Holsteins need more energy, and I think that is where I am lacking. Thanks for any info.

8% more net energy is required. We feed full feed corn and 1.5# of 40% protien 22% by way of urea drug of choice in the pellet is monensin at 400g per ton and tylan at 250g per ton. That will get you enough energy.

Thanks for the info. So 8% more energy mean that the TDN needs to be 8% higher than on my charts right?
