consumer. Taken in
with letter No. 41 on
Feeds” written by Dr. C.
Hoffman and issued the last
week of December 1911, this ar-^
tide will be of some value to;
every man who cares for his
stock. Letter No. 41 gives the
average analysis that the feeds
named therein, should have, to
be classed as good feeds; this
; letter attempts to apply the
commonplace to the terms used
in the analysis, so the feeder
may profit thereby.
The constituents required to
be guaranteed under the Arkan
sas Law are: Crude Protein,
Crude Fat, Carbohydrates and
Crude Fibre, and are the most
important from a standpoint of
nutrition.
Protein.
Protein is the constituent of
food which forms muscle, bone,
hair, flesh, ligaments and other
like portions of the animal. It
is the only food substance con
taining nitrogen and is abso
lutely necessary to animal life.
It replaces the wear and tear of
4-v.r. oni'mol tiaaiip nnd furnishes
material for additional flesh.
The term flesh in this connec
tion must not be confounded
with fat, flesh is the muscle and
tissue produced, while fat is
stored product for future ener
gy. With an excess of proter
accompanied by a deficiency i”
carbohydrates, it may be used
as a producer of fat, but it is a
costly source of fat. \ALt
OF PROTEIN: Protein is the
most expensive portion of a
food. With a given food, the
more protein it contains, the
better its quality, however, the
value of a feed cannot be deter
mined, by the percentage of
protein alone, it is necessary to
consider the percentages of fat
and carbohydrates.
Fat.
Fat, in the case of concentrat
ed feeding stuffs, is the oily
substance, principally in the
seeds of the grain, but in the
zase of fodders and hays it is
often composed to a considera-1
ble extent of waxes, coloring |
matter, etc. Fat is used in the j
animal body as a source of ener- j
yy and when supplied in excessj
of that required, it is deposited
in the tissues in the form of
oody fat Fat produces almost
three times the amount of heat
that protein or carbohydrates
produce. vauji^ or r^i.
Fat ranks next to protein in
point of value in a feeding
stuff. The more protein and
fat a given feed-stuff con
I
large extent:
CRUDE FIBRE more
crude fibre a the
poorer its as compared
to feeds of the kind. Feed
ing materials low commer
cial value and value to the
animal, such as rice hulls, oat
hulls, peanut hulls, corn cobs,
etc., contain large quantities of
fibre and their addition to a
feeding stuff increase the per
centage of fibre and decreases
| the value of the feed. Thus, if
crude fibre exceeds certain lim
its it may indicate rice hulls in
rice bran, corn cob in corn chops,
Gtc.
In general wg s&y thst the
more protem f&t an(l carbohy
drates and tte less crude fibre
a given feed pntains as com
pared with othvr feeds of the
'same kind, the letter the qua
ity of the feed; th® reverse is
also true. ^
