AN INCREASH IN THE AMOUNT OF NUTRIENTS WITH A REDUCTON OF 
THE PROTEIN. 
The average of 63 records when this change in the ration 
occurred shows no shrinkage in the milk flow but a very slight 
increase. There was an average gain in weight of about one 
pound per day after the change, about twice as much as pre- 
ceded it. .
