2. AVERAGE COEFFICIENTS OF DIGESTION 



The coefficients of digestion which follow are mostly 

 taken from the compilation by Jordan and Hall as pub- 

 lished in Bulletin No. 77, Office of Experiment Stations. 

 Others, marked G, are from the compilation of Dietrich 

 and Konig ("Composition and Digestibility of Cattle 

 Foods," Vol. II). Later figures are found hi Report of 

 Hatch Experiment Station, Massachusetts, 1905, and in 

 Henry & Morrison's "Feeds and Feeding," 1915.
