Zuntz and Hagemann (22, p. 284) have computed the basal katabolism 

 of the horse from the results of numerous determinations of the respiratory 

 exchange while standing quietly. Their method of computation is in 

 principle the same as that which we have used for cattle, although the 

 experimental methods are entirely different. Their results were as shown 

 in Table X.
