The energy requirement is presented as the actual amount

required without adjustment to compensate for any reduction in
feed value at high levels if feed intake. To account for
depressions in digestibility which occur at high planes of
nutrition with certain types of rations, such as corn silage,
coarse textured grains or forages with high cell-wall content, an
increase at 3 percent feed should be allowed for each 10 kg of
milk produced above 20 kg/day.
