Methods of Feeding on Forage 



207 



General summary. 



In the absence of more definite information regarding 

 the best proportion of nitrogenous supplements to feed 

 with corn or other similar grains under different con- 

 ditions, the following general summary of suggestions 

 is made in Table LXXVII. These suggestions are 

 largely based on the foregoing experimental studies and 

 take account of the age of pigs, the composition and 

 quality of the forage crops, and whether full or limited 

 grain rations are fed. To simplify the statement, the 

 proportion of protein supplement recommended is stated 

 in terms of tankage or meat-meal containing 55 to 60 

 per cent of protein. By reference to Table CXXII, page 

 279, the amount of shorts, middlings, linseed-oil meal, 

 and the like, which would supply approximately the same 

 proportion of protein in the ration, can be determined.
