Table 44 shows the gains, the hay and milk consumed, and 
the solids in milk for one pound of gain with lambs. 
In this trial each pair of lambs received the same amount of 
milk solids per day. 
The small gains of the pair receiving the 
richer milk may be attributed to lack of appetite. The solids 
required for one pound of gain were 1.08 pounds with milk 
poor in fat and 1.37 pounds with the milk rich in fat.
