FEEDS AND FEEDING 



TABLE III. AVERAGE DIGESTIBLE NUTRIENTS AND FERTILIZING CONSTIT- 

 UENTS IN AMERICAN FEEDING STUFFS 



The data for the digestible nutrients in this table are derived by combining the data 

 in the two preceding tables, according to the method described in Article 69 of the text. 

 Where no digestion coefficients are available for any feed, the digestion coefficients for 

 a similar feed have been used and that fact indicated by an asterisk. The total digestible 

 nutrients given in the fifth column is the sum of the digestible crude protein, the cli- 

 gestible carbohydrates, and the digestible fat X 2.25. (69-70) For convenience in 

 computing rations, the sixth column, showing the nutritive ratio of each feeding stuff, 

 has been added to the table. 



The figures for dry matter, digestible crude protein, and total digestible nutrients are 

 printed in black-face type, since these values are the only ones needed in computing 

 rations according to the Morrison Standards given in Appendix Table V. 



The fertilizing constituents given are mostly from an exhaustive compilation by the 

 authors of the analyses reported by the State Experiment Stations and the United 

 States Department of Agriculture.
