THE STOCKFEEDER'S COMPANION 



The foods mentioned on the preceding page include 

 those fed to pigs as well as those fed to dairy cows, and 

 from the preceding list suitable foods are selected for the 

 building up of rations approximately on the following 

 lines : 



"Milking Cows: 1 One "Danish standard" is 

 allowed for every 150 Ibs. live weight of animal; in 

 addition, one standard for every 3 Ibs. of milk produced 

 per day, but the foods in the ration are selected in 

 such a way as to supply a sufficiency of digestible 

 albuminoids. Take a cow which is 900 Ibs. live weight, 

 the " food standards and requirements of digestible 

 albuminoids " would be as follows : 



An example will illustrate how to ascertain if a 

 given ration conforms to this standard. With a cow 

 giving 3 galls, of milk per day the same ration may 

 be taken as the one for milk cows (p. 113).
