Malt sprouts and brewers' grains are found 



Brewers* on the market more often as a component 



By-products. of stock and molasses feeds than as a feed 



Page 11. by themselves. This probably is due to the 



fact that they are excellent absorbents for 



molasses and when fed by themselves are rather unpalatable to 



most animals. Brewers' grains at prices usually prevailing are 



an economical and satisfactory food for either horses or dairy 



animals. 



Malt sprouts are more satisfactory as a food for dairy stock 

 and, if fed in excess of 2 pounds daily, should be moistened with 

 several times their weight of water.

Wheat by-products are more generally

By-products, centrates. 



Pages 12-22. Wheat middlings vary in quality from 



Red Dog or low-grade flour to standard 

 or brown middlings which contain very httle, if any, flour. The 

 digestibility of middlings depends, to a considerable extent, upon 

 the amount of flour they contain ; flour middlings having about 

 10 per cent greater feeding value than standard middlings. The 

 difference in wholesale price between flour and standard mid- 

 dlings is generally in proportion to their food value.
