2 Nutrient Requirements of Dairy Cattle, Seventh Revised Edition

3 Model Computational Code
4
5Below are the computational equations in the computer model accompanying Nutrient
6Requirements of Dairy Cattle (2001). The program was written in Visual Basic, version 6.0 and
7was programmed by Vajesh Durbal. Information on variables can be found in the Glossary in the
8accompanying report as can the rationale used by the subcommittee to develop the model.
9
10The model is divided into submodels to compute requirements for minerals (line 689), reserves
11(line 1901), young calves (line 2151), growth (line 2564), maintenance (line 2659), target weight
12(line 3653), lactation (line 3723) and pregnancy (line 3761). The submodels for calculation of
13nutrient supply are DietEvalOne (line 1663), DietEvalTwo (line 1970), Intake (line 2873),
14Amino Acids (line 3005), Energy and Protein Supply (line 3466), and Energy Values (line 3801).
15Lines 1- 594 include definition of both public and private (those used in computations but not
16shown as output) variables. These line values are approximate because they are affected by the
17margin width and page layout of your word processor.
