1. Oxidation of 1g carbohydrate, fat and protein yields 0.56, 1.07, and 0.42 g metabolic water respectively. Retention of 1g of dietary protein yields 0.16 g metabolic water whereas 0.07g of water is prduced when 1 g of dietary fat and carbohydrate, respectively, are retained as fat.
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 the following scenarios:
(i) If 65% of carbohydrate, 70% fat, and 60% crude protein is oxidized?
(ii) If 15% of crude protein, 15% fat, and 12% carbohydrate is retained?
