The only way to obtain the minimum TDN requirement is to over feed Protein. The livestock would do better on a balanced ration; maybe you should try adding a grain to the ration.

The pounds of feed/hay are based on the feed/hay being processed (fed through a hay processor). If feed/hay is fed as is (in the bale) it will generally require 20% to 30% more. Some tub grinders grind feed/hay to fine, this can up the total pound requirements by 20% to 30% as well. This ration calculator is designed to try to meet minimum nutrient requirements in minimum dry matter requirements, to be as efficient as possible. Other possible combinations could meet the nutritional requirements as well. Figures are generally considered to be minimums/maintenance rations only. Cattle requirements may increase when, temperature decrease, or feeding on the ground in poor conditions (mud), if feed has a high ADF in test results (38 or higher), the palatability of the feed/hay is poor, and other factors.

Some nutrition manuals may show slightly different requirements. Cattle should always be on a good free choice mineral program. To increase condition or body score of the cattle, it is usually best to increase the TDN (energy) in a ration along with a small increase in protein. Always check for nitrates– high nitrate feed can cause abortions and death. Processing and blending of feed/hay generally increases palatability considerably, however cattle may still not consume 100% of extremely unpalatable feed/hay.
