Q

Balanced Ration

A

Provides nutrients to support physical functions of an animal for 24 hours (contained in an amount of feed the animal can consume within a 24 hour period)

17
Q

In the formulation process you must know

A
Nutrient requirements of animal

Palatability of feeds
Type of ration (complete or supplementary) 
Feed intake of animal
18
Q

Factors Affecting Nutrient Requirements

A

Weight
Age/Stage of maturity
Physiologic function (growth, lactation, pregnant)
Level of productivity (quantity of milk, rate of gain)
Activity level
Environment (winter vs summer)
Use of feed additives
