Summary and conclusions

The writers do not mean to infer that the maintenance requirement of the adult sheep, as calculated by Wood and Capstick, is incorrect. The value obtained by these investigators is probably as reliable as any other which could be calculated from their data. The writers fully agree that Wood and Capstick's value is probably more accurate than previously estimated values of the maintenance requirement of the adult sheep.
