DIGESTION EXPERIMENTS WITH POULTRY. 



335 



In Table 4 below is given the average of all the digestion 

 coefficients obtained on the different grains and mixtures experi- 

 mented with. Comparing these figures with results obtained 

 with other animals, it is interesting to note that they agree quite 

 closely with those obtained with swine, as was noted by Leh- 

 mann. Also that coefficients of digestibility found for corn and 

 wheat «gree quite well with those obtained by Lehmann and 

 Paraschutschuk who made use of an artificial anus to separate 

 the urine from the solid feces.
