Digestibility of Oat Straw. 



The straw used in the trial was from the general lot raised on the 

 College farm. 



In order to secure complete consumption of the ration only 350 

 grams (about J joound) was fed daily to each animal. For this rea- 

 son the results are not satisfactory for the protein, for reasons given 

 later in this report. There are no known facts which justify the 

 supposition that the smallness of the ration would affect to any serious 

 extent any of the coefficients of digestibility except those for the 

 protein and fat, therefore the results are given as obtained. The 

 composition of the water-free dung follows :
