$\"\"$

The net energy $\"\"$ , where $\"\"$ is the animals mass.

(a)

Find the net energy per day required to maintain a $\"\"$ -kilogram steer.

Consider $\"\"$ .

Substitute $\"\"$ in above formula.

$\"\"$

The net energy per day required to maintain a $\"\"$ -kilogram steer is $\"\"$ Mcal.

$\"\"$

(b)

Find how much corn does a $\"\"$ -kilogram steer need to consume daily to maintain its body weight.

The energy provided by pound of whole grain corn is $\"\"$ Mcal.

Divide $\"\"$ Mcal by the $\"\"$ Mcal found in a pound of whole grain corn to find the total amount of corn necessary to maintain a $\"\"$ -kilogram steer.

$\"\"$

The corn will take about $\"\"$ pounds of corn to maintain a $\"\"$ -kilogram steer.

$\"\"$

(a) The net energy per day required to maintain a $\"\"$ -kilogram steer is $\"\"$ Mcal.

(b) The corn will take about $\"\"$ pounds of corn to maintain a $\"\"$ -kilogram steer.
