How to calculate the daily
concentrate requirement of a dairy animal?
EXAMPLE
One dairy cow is producing 22
litre milk with 3.5% fat. Calculate its daily concentrate
requirement?
SOLUTION
FCM(fat corrected milk)
4 % FCM = 0.4
(milk yield) + 15 (fat yield)
=
0.4 (22) + 15 (3.5 x 22)
100
=
8.8 + 11.55
=
20.35 litre
We subtract 3
litres from FCM yield, thus
=
20.35 – 3 = 17.35
=
17.35
2.5
=
6.94 kg concentrate (morning and evening)
For morning,
divide it by 2
=
6.94 = 3.47 kg offered one time

EXAMPLE 2
One buffalo is producing 14
litre milk with 6 % fat. Calculate its daily concentrate requirement?
SOLUTION
4 % FCM = 0.4
(milk yield) + 15 (fat yield)
= 0.4 (14) + 15 (6 x
14)
100
=
5.6 + 12.6
=
18.2 litre
We subtract 3
litres from FCM yield,(because it can fulfilled by forage) thus
=
18.2 – 3 = 15.2
=
15.2
2.5
=
6.08 kg concentrate (morning and evening)
