A 500 kg gelding consumes 2.5% of his body weight in hay/day on a DM basis. How much energy and protein is the horse getting from this amount of hay? Is this enough to meet the requirement for these nutrients? Horse requirements: DE = 21.8 mcal/d, CP = 789g/d Hay Nutrient Analysis: DM=90%, 2.3 mcal/kg, 19% CP (DE and CP on dry matter basis) This horse is consuming [mcal] DE/day and [cp] g CP per day. (Numerical answers, round to hundredths for DE and nearest whole number for CP, do not label.) Is this enough to meet the horse’s requirements for these nutrients? [yn] (Yes or no)

A 1200 lb mare used for exercise consumes 2 flakes of hay (1 flake = 4lb; 88% DM, 2.0 mcal/kg, 10% CP) and 1 scoop of grain (1 scoop = 1 lb; 90% DM, 3.5 mcal/kg, 17% CP). How much energy and protein is the mare getting? Is this enough to meet her requirements? Mare requirements: DE = 24.2 mcal/d, CP = 801 g/d This mare is getting [de] mcal DE/day and [cp] g CP/day with this ration. (Numerical answer, do not label, round to thousandths for DE and tenths for CP.) Is this enough to meet her requirements? [yn] (Yes or no)
