Overview

Excerpt from Fertilizing Constituents Excreted by Two-Year-Old Steers To determine the effect of variations in the proportions of rough age to concentrates in the ration, and the efiect of the introduction of linseed Oil' meal into the ration, the _experiment was divided into five experimental periods. During the first experimental period the ration consisted of clover hay and ground corn in equal amounts by weight; during the second, of one part of clover hay and three parts of ground corn; during the third, of one part of clover hay and five parts of ground corn; and during the fourth and fifth, of one part of clover hay, four parts of ground corn, and one part of linseed Oil meal. Thus the proportion of concentrates was gradually increased up to' the third experimental period, and then maintained constant to the end of the experiment. These changes are comparable to the changes Often made in the proportions of roughage and concentrates in ordi nary feeding practice. The first experimental period was five weeks in length; the second, third, and fourth, each six weeks in length; and the fifth, four weeks in length. The changes in the ration made from one test period to another were effected very gradually in trans itional periods one of which immediately followed each experimental period. The first and third transitional periods were two weeks in length; and the second and fourth, three weeks in length.
