THE AMOUNT OF NUTRIENTS BUT LITTLE CHANGED AND THE 
PROTEIN REDUCED. 
The average of 43 records when the protein was reduced with- 
out change in the amount of nutrients shows considerably more 
than the usual shrinkage in milk flow. The moderate rate of 
gain in live weight was considerably increased after the change 
in the ration.
