Summary of Digestion Coefficients (^Per Cent.). 



Period X. 



The dry matter of the Holstein feed was about as digestible 

 as that contained in the Sucrene feed. Its fiber was rather 

 less digestible and its extract matter had a higher digestibility 

 than that contained in the latter feed. 



Macon Sugar Feed. — This feed was furnished by Chapin 

 & Co., and shijjped from St. Louis. In appearance it quite 

 closely resembled the Sucrene feed. The sample contained 

 rather less protein and fiber and noticeably more extract mat- 

 ter than the Sucrene. 



Summary of Digestion Coefficients (Per Cent.). 



Period XL 



The results secured with the Macon feed do not vary ma- 

 terially from those obtained with the Sucrene and Holstein 

 feeds. The fiber in the Macon is rather less and the extract 

 matter more digestible than that contained in the Sucrene. 

 In general it may be said that the digestibility of the three 

 sugar feeds resembles each other quite closely.^ 



1 The economic value of these feeds will be more fully discussed in a future bulletin 

 on the value of molasses and molasses feeds.
