Under the Connecticut statutes the term "concentrated com- mercial feeding stuffs" covers practically all feeds excepting hay and straw, whole seeds, unmixed meal made directly from any of the cereals or from buckwheat, and feed ground from whole grain and sold directly from manufacturer to consumer. "Section 4775 requires that every lot or parcel of concentrated commercial feeding stuff shall bear a statement giving the name and address of the manufacturer or importer, the number of net pounds in the package, the name of the article, and the percent- ages of protein and fat contained in it. The law forbids the use of any metal in affixing tags. No registration of feeds or payment of analysis or license fees is required. The penalty for violation of the statute is not more than $100 ffne for the first offense and not more than $200 for each subse- quent offense. The law authorizes this Station to take samples from any manufacturer or dealer, in a prescribed manner, and requires the Station to analyze annually at least one sample of each brand which it has collected, and to publish these analyses "together with such additional information in relation to the character, composition and use thereof as may be of importance." THE STATUS OF COTTONSEED MEAL UNDER THE NEW FERTILIZER LAW. By act of the General Assembly of 1919 cottonseed meal is classed as a commercial fertilizer within the meaning of the law. * With the assistance of Messrs. C. E. Shepard and H. D. Edmond. The inspection and collection of samples were carried out by Mr. V. L. Churchill. 346 CONNECTICUT EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETIN 221. It is required that every brand shall be registered at this Station before it is offered for sale in the state, and an analysis fee of ten dollars paid thereon. On July first and January first there- after a tonnage fee of six cents per ton shall be paid. It is provided that cottonseed meal sold and used as feeding stuff shall be exempt from the tonnage fee. As regards the adjustment of the tonnage fee, the law provides for a sworn statement from dealers as to their sales. This Station will provide forms for this purpose, the same to be duly filled in, certified and returned to the Station semi-annually. Said statement shall show the total tonnage sold and the proportion thereof sold for use as a fertilizer ; and such statement will be used as a basis to determine the deduction in tonnage to be made for goods sold for feeding purposes. CLASSIFICATION OF SAMPLES ANALYZED DURING THE YEAR. In the official inspection two hundred and four samples were collected, which may be classified as follows : Cottonseed Meal 15 Maize Products 19 Cottonseed Feed 2 Brewers' and Distillers' Grains 3 Linseed Meal 7 Dried Beet Pulp 6 Wheat Bran 15 ' Cocoanut Meal 2 Wheat Mixed Feed 15 Peanut Meal 2 Wheat Middlings 12 Proprietary Stock Feeds 78 Rye Products 3 Poultry Feeds 14 Barley Products i • Total 204 Sixty-two samples of miscellaneous feeding stuffs have been examined for the Dairy Commissioner and for individuals. Four hundred and sixty-seven partial or complete analyses have been made of fodder and other materials in connection with field experiments. Of this number three hundred and ninety-one were received from Storrs and the remainder were from the Station Farm at Mt. Carmel. Partial analyses of thirty-one samples of shelled corn were made for the Department of Plant Breeding. The total for the year is seven hundred and sixty-four. This report is concerned only with the results of the official inspection and samples submitted by the Dairy Commissioner and by individuals. COMPOUNDING RATIONS. 347 DETERMINING FACTORS IN COMPOUNDING RATIONS. Gross and Digestible Nutrients. The significance of the conventional analysis of a feeding" stuff and the role of each of the nutrient groups contained therein have been discussed in previous bulletins.^ Such proximate analyses show the gross amounts of nutrient materials in various con- centrates or roughages but do not furnish any information as to the nature and quality of the several types of nutrients found. The gross supply of nutrient material eaten is not entirely utilized in the animal body; some is lost in the excretions. The amount not excreted is considered to be utilized or digested; thus if lOO parts of protein are fed in a given ration, e. g., cottonseed meal, and i6 parts are recovered in the excreta, then 84 parts are assumed to have been digested and 84 is the coefficient of digestibility for the protein of cottonseed meal. These figures are obtained by actual feeding experiments. Such trials also show that protein, fat and carbohydrate have different degrees of digestibility, and that the same type of nutrient from different sources may vary in this respect. Thus the protein of dried beet pulp is only 52 per cent, digestible. Henry and Morrison- have prepared a useful table which gives data of this kind upon a very wide range of fodder materials. Energy Values. To illustrate the various transformations of food in digestion, the animal body is often compared with an engine and the food with fuel. Feeding experiments all prove the fitness of this comparison. As the engine transforms the energy of its fuel supply into other forms, such as heat and mechanical work, so the animal body transforms the energy of its food; and in both cases the general law of conservation of energy holds true since the total amount of energy in the fuel or food is eventually accounted for in some form. The gross energy value of any food is equal to the heat evolved upon burning that food completely. This is determined by means ' of an apparatus called a calorimeter, in which a definite amount of food material is burned with pure oxygen under pressure, the ^Conn. Agr, Exp. Sta., Bull. 206, Feb., 1918; Bull. 212, March, 1919. ' Feeds and Feeding, p. 647, et seq. 348 CONNECTICUT EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETIN 221. heat liberated being- absorbed by a weighed amount of water and measured with a thermometer. If the amount of food material when completely burned liberates heat enough to raise the temperature of looo grams of water i degree Centigrade (or I pound of water 4 degrees Fahrenheit), the energy equivalent of that amount of material is one Calorie. Another unit of measure is the Therm, which has a value 1000 times that of the Calorie, i. e., it is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1000 pounds of water 4 degrees F. By burning unit quantities of the various types of nutrient materials their energy values are established. Since the gross supply of energy in food material cannot be completely utilized by the animal body it is evident that the fuel value of a given food -is judged by that proportion of the gross supply which the animal can convert to its use. Deduction must be made therefor for the energy lost to the body in the solid, liquid and gaseous excreta. The remainder is the available or metaholizahle energy and represents that part of the gross energy which the animal can transform; or its value to the animal for heat production purposes. But further energy is required in digesting the food and preparing it for absorption and assimila- tion. By making this further deduction the net energy value of the food is obtained, and it represents that part of the original gross supply finally counted on to maintain the activities of heart, lungs and other internal organs and, if the supply is in excess of these requirements, to contribute to the gain of flesh or the production of milk or the performance of mechanical work. ■ Differences between various feeding stuffs with respect to metabolizable energy are chiefly due to the varying energy losses in the excreta. Metabolizable energy per unit of digestible organic matter therefore shows considerable uniformity and may be estimated on that basis. For this purpose Armsby^ gives the following factors which may be used for cattle and probably for other ruminants. Roughage 1.588 Therms per lb. Grains and similar feeds : less than 5% digestible fat 1-769 Therms per lb. more than 5% digestible fat 1.814 Therms per lb. Oil meals, etc 1.996-2.177 Therms per lb. ^ Penn. Agr. Exp. Sta., Bull. 142, 1916. COMPOUNDING RATIONS, 349 To obtain net energy values, however, a further deduction for the energy expended in the consumption of feed is required. This energy expenditure has been determined by Armsby and Fries^ for a number of roughages and concentrates and they have pre- pared the following table which includes their own results and others obtained by Kellner and Kohler. Table I. Average Energy Expenditure by Cattle per Hundred Pounds of Dry Matter Eaten. -_, , Energy Expenditure, Roughages. Therms.

Agr. Exp Stat, Bull 142, 1916. 350 CONNECTICUT EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETIN 221. One hundred pounds of cottonseed meal contain : Dry matter 91.8 lbs. Digestible Protein 30.2 lbs. Fat 6.1 lbs. Carbohydrates (includes digestible fiber) 30.0 lbs. Total 66.3 lbs. From the table on page 248 it appears that the metaboHzable energy in one hundred pounds of cottonseed meal may be taken approximately as 2.1 Therms; and from Table I that the energy expenditure in consumption of one hundred pounds dry matter is 44.36 Therms. Thus MetaboHzable energy = 2.1 x 66.3 = 139.2 Therms Expenditure of consumption = .4426 x 91.8 = 40.7 Therms Net energy value = 98.5 Therms On the basis of Henry and Morrison's compilation of American analyses of feeding stuffs and digestible nutrients therein, Armsby and Putney^ have computed net energy values for a great variety of feeds ; and the net energy values in the following table are taken from this source (Table II). Energy values of feeding stuffs may be expressed in other ways. Kellner^ has adopted the starch value as a standard of measurement. He found by experiment that one pound of digestible starch fed to an ox in excess of his maintenance requirements produced about one quarter (0.248) of a pound of body fat. One hundred pounds of a feed which produced twenty pounds of fat would have a starch value of about 80. Fraps^ uses productive value as a basis of comparison, this being the amount of fat a given feed will produce upon a fattening animal when fed in addition to a basal ration already adequate for the bodily needs of the animal. He expresses productive value in terms of fat and takes into account the variations in the pro- ductive values of the several groups of digestible nutrients. Productive value is calculated by means of production coefficients established for each class of nutrients. ^ Penn. Agr. Exp.

Other Important Considerations.^ Feeding problems cannot, however, be entirely solved by- knowledge of energy values, digestibility coefficients or nutritive ratios, useful as these may be for the purposes they are intended to serve. Many of the difficulties encountered in feeding have arisen from ignorance of the nature and quality of the ingredients of the feed. The striking differences in the feeding values of different proteins as shown by investigations at this Station and elsewhere illustrate this point and emphasize the fact that a knowledge of the chemical constitution of nutrient materials is quite as important as a knowledge of energy values. ^We quote largely from an unpublished paper by Dr. T. B. Osborne read at a conference of County Agents and others at this Station. 352 CONNECTICUT EXPERIMExN'T STATION BULLETIN 221. In feeding animals the quantity, kind and proportion of nutrients should be kept in mind. As to quantity, energy values indicate how much should be fed per unit of live weight of the animal or unit of its production. Whether the animal will eat that amount of food or not depends upon the food or upon the animal. If the animal is healthy but does not eat as it should and does not grow, the food is inadequate in some way ; if the food is corrected so that it produces growth, the animal will then eat as much as it should. As to kinds of food, protein is of course necessary for its tissue- building qualities and fats and carbohydrates are necessary sources of energy. Mineral salts are also essential. There are conspicuous differences among proteins as regards nutritive values. For example, if zein is the sole source of protein in an animal's diet it dies within a short time. If zein is supplemented by tryptophane, or a protein containing it, the animal continues to live but does not grow. Finally if lysine is added to the ration the animal not only maintains itself but grows normally. Our present knowledge of carbohydrates and fats does not indicate such radical differences in nutritive values. Their functions in metabolism are different from that of protein. Probably the carbohydrates are chiefly valuable insofar as they may be con- verted into dextrose in digestion. Mineral nutrients are more important than has been generally supposed and it is important that the ration contain a sufficient amount of these materials. A corn and skimmed milk ration can be improved by adding calcium and chlorine to compensate the deficiency of these elements in corn. Nutritive ratios indicate the proportion in which the different types of nutrients should be fed for particular purposes. Thus narrow ratios are fed for growth and production while wide ratios suffice for maintenance. But it has been shown that a young animal obtaining all its protein from gluten feed grows yery poorly even though the nutritive ratio of the ration is narrow ; and that by supplementing a part of the protein supply by the protein of milk, marked improvement in the rate of growth results even though the nutritive ratio remains the same. Nutritive ratios then can be most efficiently applied only with a knowledge of the nature and quality of the nitrogenous part of the ration. COMPOUNDING RATIONS. 353 An important feature of animal feeding is the proper and rational use of roughage. This problem is complicated by the fact that very little is known about the chemical constitution of the nitrogenous constituents of green leaves. These constituents are conventionally classed as proteins but this practice may be very far from the truth. Osborne and Wakeman have lately shown that about 50 per cent, of the nitrogen of spinach leaves is in protein form, 20 per cent, is non-protein and the nature of the remaining 30 per cent, has yet to be determined. This represents practically the sum of our present knowledge of the proteins in green foods. Some of the practical conclusions to be drawn from these newer ideas regarding nutrition may be briefly summarized. It is a waste of good protein to mix it with feeds which are already adequate for normal growth or production. The more economical use of such protein is in supplementing those proteins which are deficient in kind or quantity of requisite amino acids. Again, although good results may sometimes be obtained by feeding- enough poor protein, it is cheaper to feed less amounts of good protein because the market price will generally be about the same for each kind. Food intake is determined by the energy require- ments of the animal ; a maximum production cannot be expected without a maximum consumption of food. The animal is a machine which must be made to produce at a maximum capacity if it is to be run at a profit. If a healthy animal does not eat as much as it should there is generally something wrong with the food; if its consumption is normal but its production is low, something is wrong with the animal. The maximum capacity for growth or production is an inherited quality ; it cannot be increased by feeding but it may be decreased by feeding improperly. Recent work done at this Station and elsewhere proves that to the four or five nutrients hitherto considered as making a perfect food, must be added others, known as food accessories or vitamines. These are needed in only small amounts but are absolutely essential to maintenance and growth. While their nature and functions are not fully understood the work already done shows the special value of alfalfa, clover and green feed for grrowing stock, due to these valuable constituents. 354 CONNECTICUT EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETIN 221.

Ivory Nut Meal is ground ivory nuts. Tentative Definitions. Barley Feed is the entire by-product resulting from the manufacture of pearl barley made from clean barley. INSPECTION OF I919. 359 Barley Mixed Feed is the entire offal from the milling of barley flour from clean barley and is composed of barley hulls and barley middlings. Dried Beet Pulp is the material obtained by drying the residue from sugar beets which have been extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar and shall not contain excessive amounts of crowns, tails or sand. Cocoanut Oil Meal is the ground residue from the extraction of part of the oil from the meat of the cocoanut. Wheat Bran consists of the coarse outer coatings of the kernel obtained in the usual commercial process of milling from wheat that has been cleaned and scoured. Shorts or Standard Middlings consists mostly of the fine particles of bran and germ and contains very little of fibrous offal obtained from the "tail of the mill." Gray (or total) Shorts consists of the fine particles of the outer bran, the inner or "Bee-wing'' bran, the germ and the offal or fibrous material, obtained in the last reductions in milling. White Shorts or White Middlings consists of a smaller portion of the fine bran particles and the germ and a much greater portion of the fibrous offal from the "tail of the mill." Red Dog consists of a mixture of low-grade flour, fine particles of bran and the fibrous offal from the "tail of the mill." Wheat Mixed Feed consists of pure wheat bran and the gray or total shorts or middlings combined in the proportions obtained in the usual process of commercial milling. Wheat Bran and Standard Middlings consists' of the two commodities as defined above mixed in the proportions obtained in the usual process of commercial milling. (Note — If to any of the foregoing brands of feed there should be added screenings, or scourings, as hereinafter defined, either ground or unground, bolted or unbolted, such brand shall be so registered, labeled and sold as clearly to indicate this fact. The word "Screenings" or "Scourings" as the case may be, shall appear as a part of the name or brand and shall be printed in the same size and face of type as the remainder of the brand name.) Screenings consists of the smaller imperfect grains, weed seeds and other foreign materials having feeding value separated in cleaning the grain. Scourings consists of such portions of the cuticle, brush, white caps, dust smut, and other materials as are separated from the grain in the usual commercial process of scouring. INSPECTION OF 1919. Remarks on Analyses. {Analyses on pages 370-393.) Cottonseed Meal. Of the fifteen samples examined only two exceeded 40 per cent, protein. The average protein content is 37.10 per cent, as compared with 36.01 per cent, the preceding 360 CONNECTICUT EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETIN 221. year. Collectively the samples have exceeded their guaranties by about 0.6 per cent, protein and 1.4 per cent. fat. The average price of $82.67 is an increase of about 25 per cent, over the price a year ago. Deficient samples are noted in Table III. Cottonseed Feed. Only two samples were examined, one of which was deficient in protein and contained excess fiber. These two brands sold at cottonseed meal prices. Linseed Meal. The quality this year, as judged by the protein content, is lower than the average last year by about 3 per cent. The price has ranged from $82.00 to $93.00 per ton. As compared with cottonseed meal it has averaged nearly $3.00 per ton higher in price and carried 4.3 per cent, less protein. Wheat Products. The quality of these products has been gen- erally satisfactory and guaranties have been met in nearly every instance. Middlings have sharply advanced in price, the average, $68.62, being about $17.00 per ton more than the average in 191 8. The price of wheat feed has averaged somewhat less than last year. Rye, Barley and Maize Products have maintained average quality but prices have considerably advanced in most cases. Miscellaneous Feeds. Peanut oil meal has sold for $75.00 to $81.00 per ton as compared with $58.00 last year. No samples of velvet bean feed have been found in this inspection. Appar- ently stock becomes accustomed to this feed rather slowly even in mixture although no trouble of this sort is experienced in the South. Copra cake meal is used to an increasing extent as an ingredient of mixed feeds. Its proteins are of a desirable kind and both fat soluble and water soluble vitamines are present. Proprietary Mixed Feeds. When compounded with materials of good quality these feeds possess undoubted merit. The variety of sources from which they derive their nutrients makes possible a supplementing of nutritive qualities which modern ideas of efficient feeding endorse as a rational practice. The criticism of them is that on account of their variety, they furnish an outlet for low-grade materials of little worth. Some of these show plainly on the tags the ingredients of which they are composed. While the law in this State does not require such information it is a valuable guide to the feeder, and is given in case of the following brands : INSPECTION OF I919. 361 Algrane Milk Feed.

Examination and analysis of this material showed the following results : Color,, very dark; odor and taste normal; total solids 71.14 per cent.; total reducing sugar 50.85 per cent, (sucrose 30.63 per cent., invert sugar 20.22 per cent.) ; nitrogen 1.39 per cent. The material is probably the so-called "third molasses" obtained in the manufacture of sugar and used in the preparation of molasses feeds. 14171, Cull beans, sent by Edw. P. Smith and Co., Baltimore. They contained 8.86 per cent, moisture, 5.33 per cent, ash, 25.13 per cent, protein, 3.99 per cent, fiber, 55.00 per cent, nitrogen-free extract and 1.69 per cent. fat. Proprietary Remedies. 13648, More Egg Tonic, 2-4-1, and 13649, Little Champions, a White Diarrhoea Remedy, both samples sent by the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, New York. More Egg Tonic is claimed to increase or double tgg produc- tion ; and Little Champions are claimed to be a preventative and cure for white diarrhoea in chicks. Examination and analysis of these remedies showed the fol- lowing composition: 13648. Tablets averaged 0.4780 gram each. Total nitrogen 1.36 per cent.; nitrogen in nitrates 1.03 per cent.; total ash 18.95 per cent, (con- tains chiefly sulphates, potassium, iron and calcium); fenugreek present; ginger present ; possibly gentian. The tablets consist essentially of ferrous sulphate, salt peter and ground roots or herbs or both, ingredients which are widely used in poultry remedies and conditioners. MISCELLANEOUS SAMPLES. 369 13649. Tablets averaged oa689 gram each. Ash 0.14 per cent.; organic and volatile 99.86 per cent. ; mercuric chloride 60.65 P^i" cent. ; filler unde- termined; organic matter present. These tablets contain bichloride of mercury as the chief medica- ment with unidentified organic material probably used as a vehicle. A great deal of study has been given to the subject of white diarrhoea at the Storrs Station where the bacterium causing the disease was discovered. There is no recognized cure for it and the claims made for this remedy are unjustified. Feeds suspected of containing poisonous materials, etc. Com- plaints are occasionally received that certain feeds have apparently produced sickness or death, or that animals refuse to eat them. Conclusive evidence that sickness or death has resulted from a particular feed is difficult to establish, although the circumstances may strongly indicate such conclusions in some cases. Unless toxic chemical substances can be detected a satisfactory explana- tion as to the probable cause of the trouble can seldom be given. Feeding experiments, particularly in Canada, have shown quite conclusively that certain weed seeds, such as the mustards, pro- duce ill or fatal results in animals, especially hogs. A refusal to eat a certain ration may indicate the presence of some unpalatable ingredient. Velvet beans, for example, are not relished by animals unaccustomed to such fodder. Eight samples of suspicious feeds have been examined during the past year. In six of these unpalatability due to some ingre- dient to which the animals were not accustomed seemed to be the only explanation that could be made. 12775, Starch Feed, containing "lumps," was sent for identification of the foreign material. The "lumps" were rock phosphate. 12856, Middlings, suspected of containing foreign material, appeared to be a genuine wheat product. 370 CONNECTICUT EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETIN 221.
