During the last week of each feeding period the feces were 
collected for seven days, 
weighed, 
sampled and analyzed. 
Samples of hay and meal were also analyzed. The results of 
the digestion trials for the last week of each feeding period are 
given in Tables 3 and 4. The digestion coefficients thus ob- 
tained have been used to calculate the digestible nutrients con- 
sumed for the entire period as given in Table 5.
