THE FEEDING OF ANIMALS 



was little different from the real value. In the use of 

 this method only the true proteins are brought into the 

 calculation, so that the values are based upon the digest- 

 ible true proteins and the total heat value of the nutrients 

 minus the energy expended on the crude fiber. The fol- 

 lowing table illustrates production values that have been 

 made up after this method, with the exception that the 

 deductions for crude fiber are less for the green fodders 

 and roots than with the dry coarse fodders.* 



TABLE XLIII 



* Since writing the above, Armsby has published a newly computed 

 and very full table of production values, based upon the composition of 

 feeding-stuffs as found in "Feeds and Feeding," by Henry and Morrison. 

 This table, computed by a simpler method than the above, may be found 

 in the Appendix.
