EXPERIMENTS IN FEEDING HORSES

TABLE IV 



RATION NO. 4. EFFECT ON WEIGHT 



Ration No. 4. also a moderate priced one, proved its value 

 throughout the experiment. As much as four pounds of oil 

 meal per day showed no ill eflects upon any animal, though 

 it was not eaten with the relish the other rations were. It 

 was soon accepted, however, and the table shows all the 

 horses remained quite constant in weight. Maud and Bess 

 both lost a trifle in weight, while Nell, Mag, and Rob either 

 gained or remained about constant during the periods. 



It seems to the writer that two pounds of oil meal and two 

 pounds of bran per day, instead of four pounds of oil meal, 

 would be more satisfactory in the long run.
