The above ewe equivalent classification is basically from an article
by Professor I. E. Coop published in the 11 New Zealand Agricultural Science"
Vol.1, No.3, Nov. 1965. The recommended rates for town milk supply dairying
have been adjusted however to reconcile with subsequent Farm Management
Research which takes into account such factors as high wastage of feed
involved in winter milk production etc, Similarly, stud sheep have been
correspondingly increased due to the scope required in stud sheep farming.

Town Milk Supply Friesian cow is assessed as follows:
10 E.E. maintenance plus rio. gallons milk per day multiplied by
during winter and by 2 spring-summer-autumn, ioe. 750 gallons
autumn calver cow for May-August is
10 + (3~ x 3)
+
=
3
20~ E.E 1 s
Wether hoggets - winter fattening May-August as 1 E.E.
The above figures should be regarded as approximations and in
applying these E.E. factors effects of environment (wind, temperature,
grazing pressure, etc.) must be borne in mind.
