Rev. 1/20

SECTION 18: DRY MATTER INTAKE

Producers of organic ruminant livestock are required to provide a full description of feed rations and calculations of

how much of the ration is provided from pasture during the grazing season. Although you may choose alternative

methods and forms of providing us with this information, (the NOP has forms and resources available) the following

means of describing rations and calculating pasture will be the simplest for most producers.

We have provided you with the reference tables for the dry matter content of common feeds, the dry matter demand of

lactating cows based on size and milk production, and the dry matter demand for other ruminant groups as percentages

of average body weight. Using the information from the reference tables, complete the ration charts to show winter

rations, grazing season rations and the pasture calculations from the grazing season rations. You must complete a

separate ration chart for each group of ruminants on your farm that is being fed a separate ration. We have provided you

with 4 ration charts to complete for the different feeding groups on your farm. If more than 4 groups are being fed,

please make copies of the charts to provide us with the additional rations.

Percentage Dry Matter (%DM) of Common Feeds

Hay (dry, both legume and grass) = 85% DM

Haylage (any chopped forage except corn) = 35% DM

Green Chop (any green chopped forage) = 20% DM

Bailage (any baled and wrapped forage) = 60% DM

Corn Silage = 40% DM

High Moisture Corn = 76% DM

Grain (dry corn, beans, small grains) = 89% DM
