Summary
A proper balance between the quality of protein and the amount of energy in a diet is necessary to achieve optimum use of the feed. This relationship, the C/P ratio, applied to practical feed formulation has tended to promote the use of high efficiency, high density diets. Two studies involving protein-energy relationships and least cost programming indicate that the best feed conversion does not necessarily result in the most economical production.
