Wyoming Experiment Station. 



Slightly the best gains were obtained from barley, with 

 emmer a poor third. This in itself is interesting, but data must 

 be had regarding the feed used and the amount required for 

 100 pounds gain. 



Table C gives the total feed consumed per head during 

 the 91 days of the experiment: 



TABLE C. Average Feed Consumed per Lamb. 

 (91 days)" 



Lot III averaged slightly more grain per head, due to the 

 death of one lamb early in the experiment. This extra amount 

 was too small, however, to seriously alter results. It will be 

 seen that the hay eaten by each lot was very nearly the same, 

 while the waste per lamb as shown in column two was small. 



From this table we get the average daily ration offered 

 each lot : 



Lot I Alfalfa, 2.72 Ibs., grain, .81 Ib. 



Lot II Alfalfa, 2.71 Ibs., grain, .81 fb. 



Lot III Alfalfa, 2.83 Ibs., grain, .83 Ib. 



The grain allowance was increased from a minimum of 

 about one-half pound per head at the beginning of the trial to 

 a little over a pound at its close. Rations were not heavy at 

 any time, as a good, fair growth was all that was desired.
