This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1884 edition. Excerpt: ...EXPERIMENT). Our annual report for 1887 contains a description of seven successive feeding experiments with growing pigs, which were instituted mainly for the purpose of ascertaining the cost of the feed required for the production of a definite weight of dressed pork. In the first and second experiments, creamery buttermilk and home-made skim milk with corn meal had furnished the sole ingredients of the daily diet of animals on trial: whilst during the five succeeding ones, wheat bran and gluten meal had been added as fodder constituents. For details see Fifth Annual Report, pages 55 to 83. In comparing the final results of the different experiments from a financial stand-point, adopting in all cases, for obvious reasons a, corresponding local market value of the various fodder articles used--it was found that feeding skim milk or creamery buttermilk and cornmeal in connection with wheat bran and gluten meal, as described in the Fifth Annual Report experiments III, IV, V, VI. VII. had lessened the net cost of production of dressed pork. This reduci ion appeared, however, to be due in the majority of experiments (III, IV, V. and VI) rather to a higher commercial value of the manurial refuse resulting, than to a higher nutritive effect of the stated change in the character of the diet. The results obtained in the seventh experiment, alone, furnished an exception to this circumstance; for in this case the smallest quantity of the total weight of the dry feed consumed showed not only a high commercial value of the manurial refuse resulting, but also the highest nutritive effect. The subsequent reprinted summary of the seven experiments may serve as a further illustration of the previous discusson. From the above summary it is apparent that...
