Digestion Trials with Chickens.
The following extracts are taken
rom a bulletin recently issued by the
oklahoma experiment station:
l. Chickens digested Kafir corn and
.orn more completely when the grain
vas fed whole than when the meal
vas fed.
2. The Kafr corn and Kafr meal
led in this trial yielded but two per
tent. less total digestible matter than
:he corresponding corn products.
3. Kair corn was a more suitable
.ation. considering only the relative
amounts of growth-making and fat
'orming materials, for chickens than
Kafr meal, corn, or corr meal.
4. Cow peas were digested reason
ably well, and are desirable feed for
growing chickens and hens. But lit
lie gain in digestibility was secured by
grinding the cowpeas.
