Feeding Standards. 

 Standard Rations for 1000 Lbs. of Farm Animals. 



243 



therms, and for illustration several examples are brought together 

 in the following table. The complete table will be found in the 

 appendix. 



Dry Matter, Digestible Protein and Energy Value in 100 Lbs. 



The table is supposed to represent, with a fair degree of ac- 

 curacy, the digestible protein and the net energy which the various 

 feeding stuffs will supply. They express what is available to the 

 animal for growth, fattening, work or milk production, after de- 

 ducting that used in the work of mastication and assimilation. 

 The digestible protein in the table is true protein and does not 

 include the so-called "amides" of the "crude protein."
