Dividing the total C.P. in pounds by the total amount of the ration (2.255/18.75) gives a C.P. content of 12 percent. The average digestion coefficient for crude protein of grain is about 75 percent and about 65 percent for the crude protein of roughages.Taking an average of 70 percent and multiplying the C.P. figure by this amount (12 X .70), a result of 8.4 percent for the digestible protein (D.P.) in the ration is obtained.
