This is an 80 percent concentrate diet used in a recent experiment with growing Spanish and Boer crossbred doelings. The calculated composition of the diet on a dry matter basis is:
| CP – 13.5% | |
| TDN – 76.8% | |
| Ca – 0.61% | |
| P – 0.34% | |
| Ingredient | % (air dry basis) |
| Millet hay | 19.760 |
| Ground corn | 66.315 |

| Limestone | 0.953 |
| Vitamin premix | 0.494 |
| Trace mineralized salt | 0.449 |
| Deccox, 6% | 0.049 |
The Vitamin premix contained 2,200 IU vitamin A, 1,200 IU vitamin D3, and 2.2 IU vitamin E per gram, and the trace mineralized salt contained 95% to 98.5% NaCl. and at least 0.24% Mn, 0.24% Fe, 0.05% Mg, 0.032% Cu, 0.011% Co, 0.007% I, and 0.005% Zn.
