TABLE 4. 

 Second Period 50 Days. 



The Wolff-Lehmann standard for a 1000-pound steer in the latter 

 stages of fattening calls for 26 pounds dry matter,, 2.7 pounds digesti- 

 blfe protein, 15 pounds digestible carbohydrates, and .7 pound digestible 

 fat, giving a nutritive ratio of 1 :6.2. Since the average weight of the 

 cattle for the last 40 days was approximately 1000 pounds, it is possible 

 to gain a very good idea of how the rations used during this period 

 compared with the standard. 



The results of the experiment are shown in detail in the following
