DIGESTION EXPERIMENTS WITH 

 CATTLE FEEDS 



By J. B. LINDSEY, C. L. REALS, P. H. SMITH, and J. G. ARCHIBALD 



This bulletin reports results of digestibility studies on fourteen different 

 materials, of real or claimed value as cattle feeds. The work of which this 

 is a part was commenced thirty years ago. Results have been published 

 in a number of reports and bulletins, and most of them summarized very 

 briefly in a "Compilation of Analyses" published in November, 191 9. 

 Nearly all of the feed products available to Massachusetts dairymen have 

 now been studied, and the digestibility of th-::' nutrients contained measured. 

 The publication of this bulletin, therefore, completes this phase of the 

 service of the Massachusetts Experiment Station.
