The Feeding of Animals 



BY WHITMAN HOWARD JORDAN 



Director of the New York Agricultural Experiment Station 



New edition, igi6. Rural Textbook Series 



This book has been revised partly to incorporate the more recent 

 knowledge concerning animal nutrition and partly to organize the 

 text into a more convenient form for student use. 



As with the former edition, the text is divided into two parts: 

 Part I deals with the general principles of bio-chemistry that bear 

 upon animal nutrition. Part II discusses the practical side of feed- 

 ing animals with attention to such principles as relate specifically to 

 the nutrition of the various classes of farm animals. It is expected 

 that by this arrangement the volume will be useful for classroom 

 work with those students who have given little or no attention to 

 bio-chemistry as such, at the same time the interest is served of 

 those students who have given considerable attention to chemical 

 studies. The popular reader who is familiar with the general prin- 

 ciples of agricultural science should also find this treatise helpful in 

 the practice of animal husbandry.
