PART XU.K.Practical method for determining the reduction to be applied to the price of sorghum by intervention agencies
1.Basic dataU.K.
=
the percentage of tannin in raw product,
=
the percentage of tannin above to which the reduction is to be applied, 11 %(1) = the reduction corresponding to 1 % tannin in the dry matter.
2.Calculation of the reductionU.K.
The reduction, expressed in euro to be applied to the reference price, shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula:
11 (P - 0,4)
Reduction to be applied to the price of sorghum on the basis of the tannin content of 1 000 g of dry matter:
Poultry-metabolisable energy of 1 000 g of sorghum dry matter with a theoretical tannin content of 0 %: 3 917 K calories;
Reduction of the poultry-metabolisable energy of 1 000 g of sorghum dry matter per additional percentage point of tannin: 419 K calories;
Difference, expressed in percentage points, between the maximum tannin content laid down for sorghum accepted for intervention and the tannin content laid down for the standard quality: 1,0 - 0,3 = 0,7;
Difference, expressed as a percentage, between the poultry-metabolisable energy of sorghum containing 1,0 % tannin and the poultry-metabolisable energy of sorghum with the same tannin content as the standard quality (0,3 %);
Reduction corresponding to a 1 % tannin content in the dry matter, in excess of 0,3 %.
