coefficients of digestion for this fodder were foruid to be quite good, 
excepting that that for the proteids was much below the average, 
as we found 36.04 as the coefficient of digestibility for these sub¬ 
stances, whereas the average found by other experimentors is 
56.1. The total proteids in this fodder is slightly above the aver¬ 
age. I know of no reason for the low coefficient, but I have else¬ 
where observed that the coefficients obtained by us are apt to be 
below those found by others, due, probably, to the conditions under 
which our fodders are preserved.
