Abstract: An economic analysis of grains vs. roughages and the conceptual basis of experimentally derived input-output parameters are presented. Feedlot profit functions featuring ration energy concentration as a key variable are formed by combining relationships for daily consumption of rations differing in nutrient concentration and daily energy requirements for growth.
