Even during tbe summer growing season, org8nic nutter int8ke never exceeded 1.5% of body weigbt. We specul8te low int8kes m8y b8ve resulted from bigb summer tempentures tb8t reduced glrxing time. During tbe l8te f8ll md winter, low forrge qu8lity 8ppe8rs to explain suppressed int8ke. Protein supplement8tion in l8te f8ll8nd winter, 8nd energy supplement8tion in spring, sbouid be 8dv8nt8geous.
