AMOUNT OF DRY MATTER CONSUMED 



The total amount of dry matter supplied by the milk or milk 

 substitutes consumed by the three lots, as based in terms of per- 

 centage, is as follows: Lot I, 26.87 P er cent.; Lot II, 32.18 per 

 cent.; Lot III, 35.77 per cent. The alfalfa hay supplied, approxi- 

 mately, 50 per cent, of the dry matter for each of the three lots. 

 The amount of dry matter obtained from whole milk shows Lot 

 III to be 6.38 per cent, above Lot I.

AMOUNT OF PROTEIN CONSUMED 



The protein consumed by the calves in Lot I is supplied, chiefly, 

 from two feeds, skim milk and alfalfa hay. Lots II and III 

 secured a larger proportion'' of the protein from the milk portion 

 of the ration than did Lot I. Over 49 per cent, of the protein for 

 Lot I and 56 per cent, of the protein for Lot II were secured from 

 the liquid portions of the rations which they received. The dry mash 

 and alfalfa hay supplied almost an equal amount of protein for all 

 three lots. Especially, is this true with respect to the alfalfa hay 

 consumed by Lots II and III.
