Common DRY Feeds |
Common WET Feeds |
These tables summarise the mean composition of common feedstuffs. The data come from many sources (feed tables, R&H Hall (IAWS Group), miscellaneous sources etc). As there are wide differences between various sources, the values are averaged as a guide to the approximate composition of feeds.
The tables are divided into Dry Feeds (74-99% DM) and Wet Feeds (10-36% DM)
