Assignment:

In your feed mill, you have citrus pulp (91% DM, 6.7% CP [DM basis], 13% crude fiber [DM basis], 77% TDN [DM basis]) and corn gluten feed (90% DM, 25.6% CP [DM basis], 10% crude fiber [DM basis], 83% TDN [DM basis]). You have been asked to formulate a supplement for growing beef calves that contains 15% CP on an as-fed basis.
