THE WIBBERLEY FEEDING STANDARD FOR MILK PRODUCTION 



As a guide the following table of feeding standards 

 is put forward by the writer. Later experiments con- 

 ducted by those who have more time for the purpose 

 than I have, may demonstrate that the table and the 

 Continuous Cropping rations recommended are not the 

 most economical. For the time being, the rations may 

 be put forward with confidence, since they are such 

 as the writer uses in practice, and by their use is able 

 to produce milk, beef, mutton, etc., at about one-half 

 the cost involved where stock are fed o n ordinary farm 

 crops, with the necessary complement 01 purchased 

 albuminous feeding stuffs to form balanced rations. 



It will also be of interest to state that, in arriving 

 at the Continuous Cropping rations, the chief method 

 followed has been that of the comparative principle of 

 ascertaining the digestible protein contents, and the 

 starch equivalents of well-known ordinary rations, 

 and then to compound the Continuous Cropping 

 rations of approximately the same composition : —
