484 PRINCIPLES OF ANIMAL NUTRITION. 
Coarse FoppErs.—Kellner’s results upon hay, straw, and ex- 
tracted straw are the only data regarding the utilization of the 
energy of this class of feeding-stuffs which we as yet possess. Only 
those experiments in which coarse fodder was added to a mixed 
basal ration are available for a computation of this sort. 
Meadow Hay.—The two kinds of meadow hay (V and VI) used 
in Kellner’s experiments gave the following results for the distri- 
bution of their energy, computed as in previous instances:
