Table III. A\terage Digestible Nutrients and Fertilizing Con- 

 stituents IN American Feeding Stuffs 



The data in this table which includes the important American feeding stuffs are 

 taken from the much more extensive table in the unabridged edition of Feeds 

 and Feeding. The digestible nutrients have been computed from the data in 

 Appendix Table I and the extensive compilation of digestion coefficients given in 

 the unabridged edition of this book. 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 digestible carbo- 

 hydrates, and the digestible fat X 2.25. For convenience in computing rations, 

 the nutritive ratio of each feeding stuff is shown in the sixth column. 



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 Modified VVolff-Lehmann Standards 

 given in Appendix Table V. 



Ihe 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. A fev/ values have been taken 

 from Mentzel and Lengerke's Landivirtschaftliche Kalender for 1914, and other 

 sources.
