DAIRY CHEMISTBT 



As given in the table in the Appendix, they contain 

 the following amounts of digestible nutrients : — 



Since the figures represent the amounts of digestible 

 protein, carbohydrates, and fats in 100 pounds of the 

 foods, the amount of digestible nutrients in 1 pound- 

 is obtained by moving the decimal point two places 

 to the left. A trial ration is first made with 10 

 pounds each of corn fodder, clover hay, and mangels, 

 and 7 pounds of oats, 3 of corn, and 2 of bran. The 

 pounds of digestible protein, carbohydrates, and fats 

 in 10 pounds of the corn fodder, clover hay, and man- 

 gels are obtained by moving the decimal point one 

 place to the left. The pounds of digestible protein 

 in the 7 pounds of oats are obtained by multiply- 

 ing .092 by 7, and the pounds of digestible carbo- 

 hydrates by multiplying .473 by 7, and the fat by 

 multiplying .042 by 7. In like manner, the digest- 

 ible nutrients in the 3 pounds of corn and the
