WHAT CORN STOVER CONTAINS 



Corn stover contains more ash, water and fibre, and less protein, starch 

 and fat than corn. Ear corn contains the same food ingredients, but these 

 are more valuable because less fibrous and more concentrated. The real 

 worth-while nutrients are protein, starch, and fat. 



plying the figures representing the total amount of 

 each constituent by the coefficient of digestibility, 

 the resulting product being the quantity digested. 

 For example, corn stover contains 3.8 pounds of pro- 

 tein, 19.7 pounds of crude fiber, 31.5 pounds of nitro-
