Dairy Feed Formulation (TMR)
( TMR )
By : Dr Hamza Mohsin
Data:- ( Example )
• Animal weight= 600kg
• Milk production= 28 liters / day
• Lactation days = 38
• Milk fat % = 4.5%
Available ingredients:-
• Wheat straw => 4.8% Cp , 92% DM , 1.44 ME
• Lucerne => 24 % Cp , 21.5% DM , 2.46 ME
• Maize Silage=> 8.8 % Cp , 35% DM , 2.99 ME
•Concentrate ( wanda ) => 22%cp , DM-88% , ME = 3.1 Mcal/kg
Formulation:-
DMI => 600 x 3.3% => 19.8kg (20kg)
1- Fodder
• 20 x 60% = 12kg
2- Concentrate
• 20 x 40% = 8 kg
4% Fat corrected Milk ( FCM )
4.5% FCM = 0.4 x 28 + 15 ( 0.45 )
= 11.2 + 0.675
= 11.875
Animal’s Requirements:-
Note:-
Difference value upto 0.1 can be neglected.
Note:-;
Difference ME value upto 0.50 can be neglected
Inclusion rate:-
Silage = 16 kg
Lucerne= 11kg
Wheat straw= 4.4kg
Concentrate= 9.1 kg
Total Feed ( TMR) as feed Basis= 40.5kg
On DM basis
Cp% = 15.46%
ME= 32.54 Mcal/day
DM% =20kg
