    DM = Dry Matter.
    CP = Crude Protein.
    UIP-CP = Undegradable or bypass protein as % of CP.
    TDN = Total Digestible Nutrients.
    NEl = Net Energy of Lactation.
    ADF = Acid Detergent Fiber.
    NDF = Neutral Detergent Fiber.
    NFC = Nonfiber Carbohydrate.
    Ca = Calcium.
    P = Phosphorus.
    Mg = Magnesium.
    K= Potassium.
    S = Sulfur.
    EE = Ether Extract.

2TDN and NEl values for fat as listed in 1988 NRC Dairy.  More research is needed to better define these values.  The TDN value assigned to fat is conservative relative to the NEl value.
