VALUE OF CORN BRAN FOR MILK PRODUCTION. 151 



Table VI. — Average Daily Amount of Dry Matter consumed 'per Cow 

 (Pounds) . 



An application of the percentage composition of each feed as given in 

 Table III to the above figures would give the amounts of protein, fat, 

 fiber, etc., each ration contained, and this in turn multiplied by average 

 digestion coefiicients^ would give the approximate digestible nutrients in 

 each ration. 



Table VII. — Estimated Dry and Digestible Nutrients in Average Daily 

 Rations (Pounds). 



It will be seen that the dry and digestible matter consumed in each 

 ration was almost identical. The digestible protein contained in the corn 

 bran ration was some 14 per cent, less than that in the wheat bran ration. 

 It is believed, however, that a surplus remained after making the usual 

 allowance for maintenance and milk requirements.
