Table V. Modified Wolff-Lehmann Feeding Standards — continued. 



For the convenience of those wishing to compute rations for poultry, the Wheeler 

 Standards, as given in Jordan's The Feeding of Animals, have been converted 

 into the same terms as the Modified Wolff-Lehmann Standards and are here in- 

 cluded. Because of the small size of poultry, these standards give the require- 

 ments per 100 lbs. live weight rather than per 1,000 lbs. live weight.
