FEEDING STANDARDS FOR FARM ANIMALS 

 From Henry's "Feeds and Feeding." 



"The standards are arranged to meet the require- 

 ments of beef cattle under normal conditions. The 

 statements in the standards should not be accepted as 

 absolute, but rather as data of a helpful nature, to be 

 varied in practice as circumstances suggest. 



"The statements in the column headed 'Dry Matter,' 

 should be regarded as approximate only, since the diges- 

 tive tract of the animal readily adapts itself to varia- 

 tions of ten per cent or more from the standard of 

 volume. 



"The column headed, 'Sum of Nutrients,' combines 

 the data of the three preceding columns, the ether ex- 

 tract being multiplied by 2.4 before adding. In the 

 first column of this division of the table, marked 'Crude 

 Fiber = 1,' all the digestible nutrients are included. In 

 the second division, marked 'Crude Fiber = J^,' it is 

 assumed that 30 per cent of the digestible non-nitrogen- 

 ous nutrients consists of crude fiber, and one-half of this, 

 or 15 per cent, is deducted. This deduction should be
