Table IV gives the apparent coefficients of digestibility for each 

 animal, together with the average coefficients for the three cows and 

 sheep, respectively. 



Table V gives the pounds of digestible dry matter and pounds of 

 digestible nutrients in 100 pounds of sunflower silage. The individual 

 nutritive ratio for each animal is given, together with the average 

 nutritive ratio for the cows and sheep.
