ECM = (0.327 × milk lbs) + (12.95 × fat lbs) + (7.65 × protein lbs)
FCM, 3.5% = (0.4324 × milk lbs) + (16.216 × fat lbs), the standard university extension formula (Gaines & Davidson 4% FCM, adjusted to a 3.5% basis)
Fat lbs = milk lbs × butterfat % ÷ 100. Protein lbs = milk lbs × protein % ÷ 100. Fat + protein = total component pounds.
Component Efficiency, % = (fat lbs + protein lbs) ÷ DMI × 100. ECM Feed Efficiency = ECM ÷ DMI.
