Energy V allies of Feeding Stuffs for Cattle

The differences thus found between the heat production of the animals 

 per 24 hours when standing and when lying were as shown in Table VII, 

 in which are included for comparison the total dry matter consumed and 

 the average live weight of the animal. In order to facilitate a general 

 comparison of the results of the several experiments, the influence of the 

 differences in live weight has also been eliminated to a degree by comput- 

 ing the data of Table V to a uniform body weight of 500 kg., \vith the 

 results shown graphically in figure i .

-Graph showing the dry matter eaten and the increments of heat production due to standing; 

 computed per 500 kg. live weight per 24 hours. 



It should be clearly understood that both Table VII and figure i show 

 the relation of feed consumption to the heal increment during standing, 

 computed in the manner just illustrated, and not to the total heat pro- 

 duction.
