    What should 300 to 400 kg weanlings get in diet with arable silage of barley and grass. Looking for .8 .9kg per day gains as will be selling in April may. Thanks

    i reckon you would want about 1.5kgs of a 16% protein ration, depends on how mature the barley was when harvested. if it had a fair bit of fill in the grain you might get away with 1kg of 18% protein ration

    You should consider getting the silage tested. After that you will know exactly what you need to supplement with in order to get the desired weight gain.
