COST OF RATIONS 153 Dry matter pounds Protein pounds Carbohy- drates pounds Fat pounds 5 lbs. cotton-seed meal 3 lbs. wheat bran 10 lbs. red clover hay- • 15 lbs. corn stover 33 lbs. total 4-59Q 3-323 3-58o 6-345 With the fat reduced to carbohydrates the ration reads:. The ration is too high in dry matter, digestible protein and digestible carbohydrates. The ration is also too narrow. Improving the Ration.—Let us try to improve this ration by supplying less of the nutrients and particularly less protein. By consulting Table I we learn that cotton-seed meal has more di- gestible protein than any of the other feeds in this ration. Sup- pose then we reduce the amount of cotton-seed meal to 3 lbs. Then the ration will be as follows: 3 lbs. cotton-seed meal 3 lbs. wheat bran 10 lbs. red clover 15 lbs. corn stover 31 lbs. total Improved ration Standard Dry matter pounds 2-754 25-447 25-447 24. Protein pounds 2-579 2-579 2-5 Carbohy- drates pounds 6-345 13-4 Fat pounds Nutritive ratio 1 The ration as it now stands approximates the standard. It is close enough to the standard for all practical Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Halligan, James Edward, 1879-.
