1. Oxidation of 1g carbohydrate, fat andprotein yields 0.56, 1.07, and 0.42 g metabolic water respectively.Retention of 1g of dietary protein yields 0.16 gmetabolic water whereas 0.07g of water is prduced when 1 g ofdietary fat and carbohydrate, respectively, are retained asfat.
For a lactating cow consuming 15 kg DM/day and feed contains 76%carbohydrate, 4% fat, and 14% crude protein;
How much metabolic water will the cow produce under thefollowing scenarios:
(i) If 65% of carbohydrate, 70% fat, and 60% crude protein isoxidized?
(ii) If 15% of crude protein, 15% fat, and 12% carbohydrate isretained?
