The value provided as "pounds per yield unit" is either the median value from the Servi-Tech survey or the most common central value obtained from the references. The "survey range" represents either the 25th and 75th percentile from the Servi-Tech data or represents the low and high values from the referenced sources.
ServiTech Laboratories. 2014. In-house data survey of feed analysis results, 2006-2013. Results reported as "Median" or 50th percentile. "Typical range" includes the middle 50% of all samples, so 25% of samples are above range and 25% below. Statistical calculations based on listed number of samples of particular feedsuff that was included in data survey.
