[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 742474, member: 6897"] Only problem with sampling commodities is that you often have to begin using them long before you get test results back. Better to just use the NRC standards for whatever the commodity is and go from there. A good test on your hay would be good since it should make up the largest portion on the ration but without testing and changing values every time you change hay cuttings, fields etc. you might as well just use the standard for th type grass hay or alfalfa hay being fed. Most tests don't give you the extensive nutrient densities that you need to really calculate NEm, NEg, NEL anyway to truly balance a ration... not to mention trace minerals that compliment or restrict other mineral utilization.
