Identify the average daily energy requirements for either a cow, broiler chicken, horse, or dog over a defined period of its life.
- Identify the average daily energy requirements for either a cow, broiler chicken, horse, or dog over a defined period of its life. Use either metabolizable energy (ME) or digestible energy (DE) as appropriate for the species chosen.
- Briefly describe in a table five feedstuffs that can be considered for your animal of choice together with their expected contents of either DE or ME, as appropriate for the species chosen.
- Using two of the feedstuffs you identified under (2), work out a ration that meets the energy requirements you identified under (1), and show how you have achieved this without the aid of a feed formulation program.
- Review your ratio and consider what other factors need to be considered for your proposed solution to be viable.
