Concentrates include energy feeds (corn, milo, wheat, etc.), protein feeds (cottonseed meal, soybean meal, etc.) and commercial formulations of energy and protein feeds. Since most commercial compa nies guarantee the quality of their feed products, testing is usually not neces sary. However, the feed tag may not provide a full list of nutrients and energy content. Therefore, testing commercial feeds may be needed to determine the best feeding rate. “Book values” (as shown in this publication) can be used for nutrient content of grains and protein sources such as cottonseed meal and soybean meal unless there is a reason to suspect the feedstuff is not normal.

Nutrient values cannot be accurately estimated by visual appraisal or level of fertilization; forage nutrient composition can only be accurately assessed by laboratory methods.

Since feed is the major cost of producing livestock most successful producers strive to meet the nutrient needs of their animals for an optimum level of performance at the lowest cost Overfeeding or underfeeding leads to inefficient production and reduced profit potential so making the most efficient use of feeds is of prime imporshytance in securing profits Rations must be properly balanced so that feeds are used most efficiently and animals remain healthy Ration balancing is an important management tool the producer can use to maximize profits

To begin ration balancing a list of available feeds and their cost or value should be compiled Next inforshymation on their composition should be obtained Feeds can be divided into two basic groups ndash forages and concenshytrates Forages include pastures hays silages haylages crop residues and other highshyfiber feeds Concentrates include energy feeds (corn milo wheat etc) protein feeds (cottonseed meal soybean meal etc) and commercial formulations of energy and protein feeds Since most commercial compashynies guarantee the quality of their feed products testing is usually not necesshysary However the feed tag may not provide a full list of nutrients and energy content Therefore testing commercial feeds may be needed to determine the best feeding rate

ldquoBook valuesrdquo (as shown in this publication) can be used for nutrient content of grains and protein sources such as cottonseed meal and soybean meal unless there is a reason to suspect the feedstuff is not normal Book values can also be used for byproduct feeds However nutrient composition of byproduct feeds can be highly variable and a nutrient analysis is recommended when using these feedstuffs

Importance of ForageTesting

Estimating the nutrient content of forages by visual evaluation or from book values will lead to errors in feeding Nutrient values cannot be accurately estimated by visual appraisal or level of fertilization forage nutrient composition can only be accurately assessed by laboratory methods The nutrient content of plants varies from field to field from farm to farm and from year to year as a result of differences in plant species and varieties soil fertility climatic factors (rain wind sunlight temperashyture etc) stage of forage maturity and harvesting and storage methods Therefore the only way to know the quality of forage is to have it analyzed

Feed Composition Table Feed composition tables usually

provide useful information on composishytion of concentrates and they can provide some useful information on composition of forages when laboratory analyses are not available

The nutrient composition of the feeds in the following table was comshypiled from (1) information contained in Nutrient Requirements of Beef Cattle seventh revised edition issued in 1996 under the direction of the Subcommitshytee on Beef Cattle Nutrition Board of Agriculture of the National Research Council (2) a University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture Cooperative Extension Service forage and poultry litter database which is denoted in the table as ldquoARrdquo for Arkansas Average composition values and (3) Dairy One Laboratories internetshyaccessible database
