Table II. Average Digestibility of Important Feeding Stuffs 



The following digestion coefficients, obtained in experiments with ruminants, 

 for some of the most important American feeds are taken from the extensive 

 table in the unabridged edition of Feeds and Feeding. The coefficients marked 

 "H & M" have been compiled by the authors; those marked "L" are from the 

 compilation by Lindsey of the Massachusetts Station; and those marked "M" 

 are from Mentzel and Lengerke's Landwirtschaftliche Kalender.
