A food that contains 18% Crude Protein (CP), 10% Ethereal Extract (EE), 20% Crude Fiber (FC), 50% Nitrogen Free Extract (ELN), and 2% ash . The digestibility of the feed is 80%. In general terms, assume that carbohydrates and protein produce 4 megacalories per kilogram and that lipids produce twice as much as carbohydrates. If an animal needs to consume 12 mega calories of digestible energy daily, how many kilograms of food should it consume?
