Extract

(1) The maintenance requirement of Light Sussex cockerels has been found by a feeding trial and comparative slaughter method. The maintenance requirement found was 22.1 calories per sq. m. of surface per hour. The net energy of the ration fed (Sussex ground oats: whole dried milk = 13 : 3) was 1.8 calories per gm.

(2) A new method of determining the surface area of birds is described.

(3) The value of K in the equation area = K has been found by this method to be 9.3.
