Food and Increase. 



Experiments show that 4 to 5 Ibs. of meal are 



generally sufficient to give I Ib. increase in 



live weight. 

 At this rate I cwt. meal should give about 22 Ibs. 



(ij stones) live weight increase. 

 If carcass weight is taken to be 83 per cent, of 



the live weight, f cwt. meals should give 



about 14 Ibs. increase of carcass.
