You calculate as a percentage, and the only way to do that is by using an example.

Assume that this "cow" that you're feeding corn to weighs 800 lbs. Grain is usually fed to a bovine at 1% of a cow's body weight per day, as-fed. So, the calculations are as follows:

800 lbs x 0.01 = 8 lbs of grain (as corn) per day. In the real world, this can range from this number to up to 12 lbs of grain per day for an 800 lb growing calf.
