The horses approximated 1,400 pounds each in weight. The above 

 figures show the estimated digestible nutrients that were fed daily and 

 the standard requirements for horses weighing 1,400 pounds, as stated 

 by different authorities. It seems clear that the horses, which were 

 doing moderately hard work, were receiving sufficient digestible protein 

 and total nutrients. It is doubtful if they would have kept in good con- 

 dition with less food.
