Table VIII. Armsby Feeding Standards for Farm Animals 



The manner of computing rations in accordance with these standards has been 

 fully explained in Chapter VII. As a rough guide to the amount of dry matter 

 to be fed, Armsby recommends that: A 1,000-lb. ruminant receive 20 to 30 lbs., 

 or an average of 25 lbs., dry matter per day, and the horse somewhat less.
