This document provides the results of a nutritional analysis of a dairy farm sample described as a sugar beet root-wheat straw- and alfalfa hay mix silage. The sample had 36.28% dry matter and key nutrients included 7% crude protein, 32.99% NDF, 20.92% ADF, and 43.6% NFC on a dry matter basis. Based on the nutrient analysis, the total digestible nutrients (TDN), digestible energy (DE), metabolizable energy (ME), and net energy lactation (NEL) were calculated according to NRC 2001 dairy equations.
