Σελίδα 144 - June, 1906. During each of the three winters covered by the investigation, four experiments were made on each animal by means of the respiration calorimeter in order to determine the percentage availability of the energy of the feeds consumed. During the first winter, that of 1905, the feeding stuffs used differed from those employed during the ordinary feeding. In the succeeding two winters, the grain feeds used were the same, only the amounts differing. The respiration calorimeter experiments,...
