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 concen- 

 trates should be free from foreign material, mould and rancidity, in 

 good mechanical condition, and maintain the following percentages 

 of protein, fat and fiber :* 



Feed Stuff. Protein. Fat. Fiber.

*Fiber is the least valuable of the several constituents: the above standards for fiber 

 represent the maximum percentage which the feed should contain to be of standard quality.
