 STANDARDS FOR CATTLE AND POULTRY FOODS. 



A standard for comparison is always necessary in passing judg- 

 ment on the composition of concentrated feeds. The percentages 

 of protein, fat and fiber serve as an index of their character in 

 the majority of cases. To be of standard quality, the various con- 

 centrates should be free from mould and rancidity, in good 

 mechanical condition, and maintain the following percentages of 

 protein, fat and liber:* 



Feedstuff. Protein. Fat. Fiber. 



Blood meal . . . 8j
