Calculate diet ash contribution for a ration component

Source: R/core_model_ration_quality.R
calc_ration_ash.Rd

Calculates the contribution of a single feed component to diet ash content by weighting feed ash content by its ration composition share.

Usage

calc_ration_ash(feed_ration_fraction, feed_ash)

Arguments

feed_ration_fraction

Numeric. Proportion of a specific feed component in the total ration, expressed as its fraction of diet dry matter intake (fraction). Within each herd_id and cohort, proportions should sum to 1.

feed_ash

Numeric. Average ash content by feed component, expressed as a fraction of the dry matter intake (g ash/100g DM).

Value

Numeric. Contribution of the feed component to total diet ash content (kg ash/kg DM).

Details

The ash contribution is defined as: $$ration\_ash = feed\_ration\_fraction \times feed\_ash / 100$$

Ash content is expressed as a percentage (g/100g DM); the result is a fraction.
