In the example above, the nitrogen gain is calculated in F (nitrogen balance, grams). If the gain the animal makes is composed of 20% PROTEIN, then how many grams and how many pounds did the animal gain in this time period? (There are 454 grams in a pound). HINT: If ALL the gain was due to protein gain, then you would calculate the gain just by converting g N to protein, but some of the gain is fat, water and other things, so it only represents PART (20%) of the total gain. Gain, grams Gain, pounds
