Get an approximate daily ration — dry matter intake, concentrate split, roughage split, and water need — for any of the common species kept in Pakistan. Numbers are reference values from NRC tables and PLDDB; tune up/down for your specific animal.
Dry matter intake
8.0 – 12.0 kg DM
Concentrate
4.4 – 6.6 kg
Roughage
3.6 – 5.4 kg
Water
36.0 – 54.0 L
Note: For Eid-ul-Adha qurbani: aim for 0.8–1.2 kg/day average daily gain. Step concentrate up over 14 days to avoid acidosis.
Approximate only — actual needs depend on age, breed, condition, climate, and concentrate quality. Adjust gradually and weigh animals weekly.
