Sample Computational Questions questions with answers and explanations

Board-style items taken from the Animal Science bank. Every answer is explained, which is the part that makes a review question worth doing twice.

  1. A feed sample weighs 110.0 g as-fed and 30.8 g after drying. What is its dry-matter percentage?

    • A. 38.00%
    • B. 28.00% correct
    • C. 33.00%
    • D. 23.00%

    Why: DM% = 30.8 ÷ 110.0 × 100 = 28.00%.

  2. A forage contains 31% dry matter. What is its moisture content on an as-fed basis?

    • A. 74.00%
    • B. 69.00% correct
    • C. 79.00%
    • D. 64.00%

    Why: Moisture% = 100 − 31 = 69.00%.

  3. A forage contains 34% dry matter. What is its moisture content on an as-fed basis?

    • A. 66.00% correct
    • B. 76.00%
    • C. 71.00%
    • D. 61.00%

    Why: Moisture% = 100 − 34 = 66.00%.

  4. A feed sample weighs 140.0 g as-fed and 51.8 g after drying. What is its dry-matter percentage?

    • A. 37.00% correct
    • B. 47.00%
    • C. 32.00%
    • D. 42.00%

    Why: DM% = 51.8 ÷ 140.0 × 100 = 37.00%.

  5. An animal eats 10.5 kg of a feed containing 50% dry matter. How many kilograms of dry matter are consumed?

    • A. 5.78 kg DM
    • B. 4.73 kg DM
    • C. 5.25 kg DM correct
    • D. 6.30 kg DM

    Why: DM intake = 10.5 × 0.50 = 5.25 kg DM.

  6. A ration must supply 5.4 kg of dry matter from a feed containing 53% DM. How many kilograms as-fed are required?

    • A. 9.17 kg as-fed
    • B. 11.21 kg as-fed
    • C. 12.23 kg as-fed
    • D. 10.19 kg as-fed correct

    Why: As-fed amount = 5.4 ÷ 0.53 = 10.19 kg.

  7. A ration must supply 5.8 kg of dry matter from a feed containing 56% DM. How many kilograms as-fed are required?

    • A. 12.43 kg as-fed
    • B. 9.32 kg as-fed
    • C. 10.36 kg as-fed correct
    • D. 11.40 kg as-fed

    Why: As-fed amount = 5.8 ÷ 0.56 = 10.36 kg.

  8. An animal eats 12.0 kg of a feed containing 62% dry matter. How many kilograms of dry matter are consumed?

    • A. 6.70 kg DM
    • B. 8.18 kg DM
    • C. 7.44 kg DM correct
    • D. 8.93 kg DM

    Why: DM intake = 12.0 × 0.62 = 7.44 kg DM.
