The National Research Council’s (1978) estimates of the energy requirements for lactation are based primarily on theoretical calculations. Some experiments have evaluated the accuracy of these recommendations (Jordan 1979; Sutton 1977), but in these studies not only was the digestible energy adjusted to different levels, but all of the other nutrients as well.
