The Lucknow Sentinel, 1988-10-12, Page 16Page 16—Lucknow Sentinel, Wednesday, October 12, 1988 Compare food values to corn for best c COMPARATIVE FEED VALUES All animals, including humans, eat for two reasons. First to satisfy the hunger pains and second to obtain nutrients to stay alive. When protein sources are high priced we see a shift in the dollar value of protein rich feeds based on their feeding value. When 44% soybean oil meal costs 2.65 times as much as corn, the relationship of the following feeds can be expressed as a percentage of the value of corn - corn 100%; good hay 95%; fair hay 78%; corn silage 19%; barley 110%; oats 105%; dried distillers 163%; dried brewers 155%. For example when corn is selling for $140/tonne good hay would be worth 95% of $140 which. is'$133.
