PRINCIPLES OF FEEDING FARM ANIMALS 



Table 11. — Haecker's Standard for Growing Fattening 



(Battle 



Dry substance and digestible nutrients daily per 1000 lb. live weight 



This standard supplies less protein and other nutrients 

 than the Henry-Morrison, the Wolff-Lehmann and the 

 Armsby standards for growing cattle. Experiments at the 

 Illinois Experiment Station ^ by Mumford, Grindley, Hall, 

 Emmett, Bull and AlUson, show that two-year old steers 

 may be successfully fattened on less protein than provided 

 by the Haecker standard. 



Investigations at the lUinois Experiment Station by Bull 

 and Emmett indicate that the Wolff-Lehmann and Armsby 

 standards for growing lambs are too high in protein. The 

 standard for protein given in Table 12 is recommended by 

 them.2
