Document Summary
Ans feed lot management: bunk management: bunk management, increase return, increases dmi. Increases fe (consistent passage through gut: factors affecting consistency of feed intake, feed quality/freshness, temperature/humidity/weather fronts, health status, regular timing of feeding. 24 pounds per day, 1000 head capacity: per ton. ,800 per day or $ 1. 01 mil. per year: results, + dmi 10% = +$ 15 net per hd. Fe 10% = + net per hd. Thin uniform layer of feed across bottom of bunk. Decrease in feed calls should be made am only. Use 10% rule for increasing feed (avoid yo-yo affect) One of the main advantages of scoring feed bunks is increased return. For example, if you increase dry matter intake by ten percent, you can increase returns by . 15 per head. Increasing or decreasing intake depending on the bunk score will affect feed conversion and average daily gain.
