■ Those from the "full amount." 



It is now possible to compare the calculated and actual digesti- 

 bility of the two rations. The first step necessary is to apply 

 the coefficients which are found by experiments with these mix- 

 tures of foods, to the quantities of dry matter and of the several 

 classes of ingredients actually contained in the proposed rations.
