Scenario: A farmer goes to feed his cows. The silage results show a dry matter content of 45% and 900 kg of dry matter. He plans to feed each cow 40 kg of silage.
Questions:
Assumed FUM:
40 kg × 45% DM = 18 kg DM
18 × 900 FUM/kg DM = 16,200 FUM
Actual FUM:
40 kg − 10% = 36 kg
36 × 40% DM = 14.4 kg DM
14.4 − 5% residual = 13.68 kg DM
13.68 × 900 = 12,312 FUM
Conclusion: Nearly 4,000 FUM less, potentially reducing milk yield by 8 L/cow/day.
