Book Description

Excerpt from Feeds and Feeding Manual The teaching of the principles of nutrition which underlie the practice of feeding has been left to lecture and text-book. In this manual exercises have been outlined which will guide the student in his study of 50 common feeds. In addition, problems have been suggested covering rations for dairy and beef cattle, horses, sheep, and swine. In these problems the comparative usefulness of the common feeding standards is brought out, and the fact is impressed on the student that in order to formulate a ration intelligently, the nature, composition usefulness and relative cost of a large variety of feeds must be known. A method of computing the relative value of the several feeds is clearly illustrated in the computation of the problems. There have purposely been included in the manual more exercises and problems than can be worked out by most classes in the amount of time available. This has been done in order that each instructor may select the exercises and problems which are especially important in his own section. Additional blank pages are provided at the rear so that the instructor may assign special problems of local interest, if desired, The authors wish to acknowledge the help of Professor W. A. Henry of the University of Wisconsin and of Professor H. H. Wing and Mr. T. A. Baker of Cornell University in the preparation of this manual.
