Formulating a ration is a matter of combining feeds to make a ration that will be eaten in the amount needed to supply the daily nutrient requirements of the animal.
In addition to being nutritionally adequate, a good cattle ration should be economical, palatable and free of toxic substances. Efficiency is increased when rations are consumed at a level to supply a larger amount of energy in relation to body weight. Cattle on full feed usually gain faster and require less feed energy for a pound of gain when they consume high-energy rations. This is due to a larger daily energy intake on this type of ration, which results in a larger percentage of the daily energy being left for gain after body maintenance requirements have been met.
