LITTLD CHANGD OF PROTEIN WITH AN INCREASH IN AMOUNT OF 
NUTRIENTS. 
Thirty-five records for periods when, with little change in the 
amount of protein, there was an increase of total nutrients 
show onthe average a slight increase in the milk flow—without 
change in the cost of production. There was a slight gain in 
weight before the change of ration and some loss in weight 
> 
afterward.
