Calculating the dry matter protein of both: the canned contains 32% crude protein on a dry matter basis DM = 100 - 75 = 25% (8/25 X 100 = 32% CP) while the dry has only 30% on a dry matter basis DM = 100 - 10 = 90% (27/90 X 100 = 30%CP) Thus, although it looks like the dry has a …

FAQs about Moisture and Dry Matter (DM) Calculations Flashcards | Quizlet Coupon?

How do you measure DM & moisture content?

DM and moisture content of feeds can be measured on-farm using a Koster Crop Tester or microwave oven. Most feed labs report analysis results on both a wet and a dry basis. The wet basis may be referred to by the terms: As Is, As Fed or As Received. The 100% dry basis is usually referred to as: Dry, DM, Dry Basis or Dry Result. ...

How do you calculate dry matter?

Evaporate off all of the moisture from the feed, or drain the water to the best of your ability. Next, measure the dry weight. Measure the weight after the moisture has been removed. Finally, calculate the dry matter. Calculate the percentage of dry matter using the equation above. ...

What is a dry matter percentage?

In agriculture, dry matter percentage is significant in determining the nutritional value and suitability of fodder for livestock consumption. For example, in hay or silage, a higher dry matter percentage indicates a greater concentration of nutrients, resulting in higher-quality feed. ...

What is a 100% dry basis?

The 100% dry basis is usually referred to as: Dry, DM, Dry Basis or Dry Result. You can convert from one basis to the other using the following formulas: As Fed basis = DM basis x (Dry Matter % / 100) DM basis = As Fed basis (Dry Matter % / 100) When diets are formulated for dairy cattle, analysis results quoted on a DM basis are used. ...

How do you determine dry matter in a feed?

Dry Matter and Moisture The dry matter (DM) content of a feed is determined by weighing a sample before and after complete drying. For example, if a sample of silage weighs 100 grams before drying and 40 grams after, it contains 40% DM. Since most of the weight lost during drying is water, the original sample contained approximately 60% moisture. ...

How much moisture is lost during drying?

Since most of the weight lost during drying is water, the original sample contained approximately 60% moisture. Drying may also evaporate other volatile compounds which may have nutritional value - particularly from silages. DM and moisture content of feeds can be measured on-farm using a Koster Crop Tester or microwave oven. ...
