DIGESTIBLE ORGANIC NUTRIENTS IN 2,000 POUNDS. 



The four different brands examined contained about equal amounts 

 of digestible nutrients, none varying widely from the average. The 

 amount of digestible fiber and fat in the Sucrene feed was in excess of 

 that in the other three brands. Being manufactured feeds, one can- 

 not say the above figures would remain constant for the reason that 

 the nature and variety of the substances entering into their composi- 

 tion may at any time be changed. It is likely, however, that the 

 averages presented will represent fairly well the amount of digestible 

 matter contained in a definite amount of the several brands under 

 consideration. 



The total digestible organic nutrients contained in the molasses 

 feeds are in excess of those in wheat bran, but noticeably below 

 those in flour middlings or gluten feed. The amount of protein con- 

 tained in bran, middlings and gluten feed is decidedly greater than 

 that in the average of the several molasses feeds. The latter class 

 of feeds may be said to be only moderately digestible.

Sucrene Dairy Feed vs. Wheat Bran and Gluten Feed. 



Two experitnents were conducted to compare the effect of a definite 

 amount of Sucrene dairy feed''^ with a mixture of wheat bran and
