In animal feeds, crude protein is calculated as nitrogen multiplied by 6.25 (the assumption is that proteins of typical animal feeds contain 16% nitrogen on average). As the feed analysis report shows a feedstuff to contain 2.2% nitrogen and 86% dry matter (as fed basis), calculate the percent of crude protein (% CP). Utilize the formula from your lectures: A (As fed basis) and D (Dry basis).
The Correct Answer and Explanation is:
In animal feeds, crude protein is calculated as nitrogen multiplied by 6.25 (the assumption is that proteins of typical animal feeds contain 16% nitrogen on average)
