[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 810815, member: 6897"] Nova if you use NRC standards for all the other nutrient values in your calculations then you know also that they give an NRC standard for moisture for each ingredient. A standard...If you want to use dry matter basis that's fine but as you said...if you know you want 17 lbs. of dry matter from silage you then have to reverse the calculations to determine how much to weigh out and put in the mixer wagon and the same with every other ingredeint. I do agree with you 100% on the high moisture ration being more palatable especially in hot weather. I use to weigh and mix all my ingredients and then add water....a lot of water....about 1200 lbs in each mixer wagon of feed. But I formulate "as fed" and any guarantee you ever see on any feed or feed ingredient will always be "as fed" as well. You're just creating extra work formulating and balancing your ration. [/QUOTE]
