Question
1) You are feeding your pet 0.85 kg of feed that contains 4078 Kcal/kg of energy and 40% CP. How many Kcals are they getting? How many kg of CP are they getting?
2.) Your pet’s target for energy is 3045 Kcal/day and 0.31 kg of CP. If the feed contains 3965 Kcal/kg and 36%CP: How many lbs of feed is needed to meet the energy target? 3045/3965 = .77 cups of food/day How many lbs of feed are needed to meet CP target? If your pet can eat 0.78 kg of food, so based on the above calculations will you be able to meet your pet’s target?
3.) How many Kcal does this ration provide? What is the % CP of this ration? Your pet’s target is 1105 Kcal/day and 0.22 lbs CP. Will this ration meet these targets if their DMI is 1.4 lbs? Show your math.

1. From 1 kg of feed they will get 4078 kcal.
Therefore, 0.85 kg of feed will provide 3,466.3 kcal energy.
It contains 40% CP.
Thus, they are getting 0.40 X 0.85 = 0.34 kg of CP.
2. Feed contains 36% CP.
Therefore, 0.36 X feed = 0.31
Weight of feed = 0.86 kg or 1.89 lbs
Energy = 0.77 X 3965 = 3053 kcal.
Approximately 0.77 kg or 1.69 lbs of feed is required to meet energy demand.
For CP target 1.89 lbs is required.
Conclusion from 0.78 kg energy demand is met but CP requirement did not meet.
3.
This ration provides = 3462.53 + 3455.3 + 497.2 + 322.56
= 7737.59 Kcal.
%CP = 34%
CP = 3.92 + 0.28 + 0.1
= 4.3 lbs
Yes, this ration will meet the targets.
