anonymous · Answer

is it 8lb of soy and 232lb of corn?

anonymous · Answer

M = Mixture % prot

S1 = Soybean lb
S2 = Soy % prot

C1 = cornmeal lb
C2 = cornmeal % prot

M = (S1*S2 + C1 * C2) / (S1+C1)

think about it roughly... 10% is closer to 12 % than 6% so you'll def need more soy
now... if it was 50 / 50 - half of each it would be bang in the middle
middle of 12 % and 6% is 8 %

you'll need 75% of soy 25% of corn
