That's not right.

You have to use pounds not parts, cups or scoops.

Example -
45 lbs Barley
7 lbs Fishmeal

5 parts corn weighs more than 5 part of say Sunflower Seeds.

Now if you are wanting to mix small amounts then 1 lb Fish meal to 6 Barley should put you at 20% protein.

Thanks for correcting my error. So the percentage protein is per pound then? But the ratio itself is correct, so for ease of computation if you were making a 52 lb batch you could use 45 lbs barley and 7 lbs fishmeal?

I did it the easy way

I used a feed protein calculator.

Should be the 8th post down and is posted by cuda. click-it and load-it. You can change the Grain, protein percentage and fat percentage.

Yikes!!! With what I mixed this morning, I did up a 22% protein mix

I think I want to go to an 18-20% mix for the winter, backing down to 16% in the summer.
