Alalt sprouts consist of the dried sprouts re- 

 Brewery moved after the process of malting barley. 

 By-products. They sometimes contain dirt and barley 

 Page 17 hulls. Malt sprouts when fed alone are 

 rather unpalatable but, owing to the price 

 at which they are frequently sold, can be considered a satisfactory 

 and economical component of the dairy ration. Most of the sam- 

 ples collected maintained their protein guarantee but showed a 

 tendency to fall below in fat content.* 



Only three samples of brewers' grains were collected. They 

 were of good quality and maintained their guarantees.*
