I had somebody give me their feed mix ratios, and it costs a little less than our lamb grower if we do it with corn, and just a little more if we do it with oats. I am trying to compare it to the lamb grower. She said her lambs grow really fast on it, but I just want a little more information. How do I figure out the percent protein of a feed if I have the percent protein of the ingredients? Here is the mix. I added the protein % for the corn and oats, from off another site, but I can't find anything that tells me how to figure the complete percent protein.
400 lb cracked corn- 10%
100 lb oats- 13% (Or you can replace this with corn)
50 lb lamb 34% supplement
40 lb Soybean meal - 46%
20 lb Liquid Molasses
If somebody can explain how to figure the overall percent protein, I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks!
