Limited by energy — intake is capped by rumen fill (fibre), so it can't physically eat enough to grow faster. Lower NDF or add low-fibre energy (e.g. molasses) to free up room.
Rumen fill is the root cause: fibre caps intake below appetite. Lower NDF or add low-fibre energy to free up room.
From the pasture analysis. DCAD slightly high — worth watching for springers.

Estimate, using your feed prices — adds the energy the diet is short on. Add a feed to model the full effect.
Rumen & protein breakdown (RDP, FME, microbial protein)▾
Good energy concentration.
Energy available to rumen microbes to build microbial protein.
Diet fibre 42% DM is in the healthy range for rumination.
Plenty of degradable protein, but microbial protein is capped by fermentable energy — more energy (e.g. grain) would capture it.
Made in the rumen — here limited by fermentable energy.
Undegraded feed protein absorbed past the rumen.
Microbial + bypass protein available to the animal.
