Multiplying these by the estimated live weight the following 

 is obtained as the requirement of nutrients at the close of this 

 and the beginning of the following week:

 18.15 



To get these quantities take the total amount of nutrients 

 fed at the beginning of the week and add enough feeds to make 

 the nutrients amount to the quantit}^ stated. Proceed as 

 above, namely, add the roughage first, the carbohydrate 

 concentrates next, then the nitrogenous concentrates and 

 lastly the water. By so doing the following will be obtained: 



These quantities of nutrients correspond very closely to 

 those calculated as the requirement of nutrients at the time. 



The quantities of feeds used to get the additional nutrients 

 should be added to those fed at the beginning of the week and 

 the totals will be the quantities to be fed at the close of the 

 week. By adding these the following are obtained: 



Alfalfa 1.6; Corn 14 

 Water .56.0. 



Barley 7.0; Skim milk 40.0; Soy beans 7.8; 



This is the total quantity to be fed for each day at the close 

 of the week. The quantity of feed on the first day of the week
