[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 965948, member: 6897"] Lon bet to just google NRC standards for such things as whole cottonseed and other commodities. These are values which are simply "generally accepted". Or you can simply look for the nutrient profile on a specific commodity. I usually use 23% for CP, 23% for crude fat and 23% for crude fiber on the seed....no other commodity and absolutely no "feed in a bag" matches that. When you check the nutrient profile on the various ingredients it should give you a figure for net energy maintenance, net energy production and net energy lactation as well as net metabolizable energy. Whole cottonseed is incredibly high in all of these. When you use energy levels and digestibility to C,F, and Fiber it will give you a much better idea of the true value of what you're getting for that $$$ your spending. Liquid feed will not really change the TDN of hay/etc. Just adds what TDN the liquid contains to the total intake of the ration. Cattle consuming liquid feed will normally eat poorer quality hay more aggressively and the two together make a fair ration. [/QUOTE]
