centrates, and are extensively purchased by feeders of stock 

 in countries where but a comparatively small amount of feed 

 is grown, as in England and Holland, for example. 



SOME RATION PROBLEMS 



1. Given a 1,000-pound horse at medium work. He is fed 10 pounds oats, 



10 pounds timothy hay, and 10 pounds ear corn a day. How does 

 this agree with the Wolff- Lehmann standard? 



2. A steer weighing 1,500 pounds, nearly fattened, consumes daily 20 



pounds clover hay, 18 pounds corn-and-cob meal, and 5 

 pounds cottonseed meal. Is this ration satisfactory? 



3. Make up a ration for a 500-pound brood sow, and figure out how it 



compares with the standard. 



4. Feed 2 pounds alfalfa hay a day to a fattening sheep weighing 100 



pounds. How much and what kind of grain will you feed to 

 adjust the ration to standard?
