[QUOTE="faster horses, post: 1793905, member: 17524"] Why then, when we send in forage tests the results come back showing the feed with moisture and on dry matter basis. When testing hay and say it tests 10% moisture, is 10% protein, and you feed 20# of it, you don't get 2.0 # of protein, you get 1.8# of protein, so you know how much more protein you need to add to get to the daily requirement. The moisture is taken out to figure the pounds of Protein and Energy because again, moisture has no nutritional value. Take the moisture out and you can see the nutrition actually in the feed.
