A sample line graph of quadratic scaling for the Equation twenty dash one hundred eighty-seven for milk protein responses to metabolizable protein intake and Equation twenty dash one hundred ninety-seven and Equation twenty dash one hundred ninety-eight. The Y-axis is labeled Milk protein production, gram per day. The X-axis is labeled metabolizable protein, gram per day.

FIGURE 20-1Example of quadratic scaling using the parameter estimates for Equation 20-187 for milk protein responses to MP intake and Equation 20-197 and Equation 20-198 to calculate rescaled linear and quadratic terms given maximal responses of 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, and 2 times the original maximum
