Roughage is required for the best results. Such a ration would prove too expensive for the economical feeder. 5. If we reduce the amount of oats to 15 lbs. and add enough red top hay to meet the protein requirement, 18 lbs. will be needed. 15 lbs. oats 18 lbs. red top hay 33 lbs. total Dry matter pounds 13- 16. 150 ;98 Digestible protein pounds 1-395 Digestible carbohydrates pounds This ration contains lbs. too much of dry matter and lbs. excess of carbohydrates. 6.
