The Nutritive Value of the Proteins of Coconut Meal, Soy Beans, Rice Bran and Corn

Department of Animal Husbandry, University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois

ABSTRACT

Undoubtedly the most systematic and scientific method of formulating the food requirements of farm animals is that of the late Dr. H. P. Armsby. The Armsby standards for the maintenance of farm animals, for their growth and fattening, and for the maintenance of milk production, are not in the main empirical, as are so many others, but are the result of a searching analysis of physiological functioning. While the experimental data upon which they are based are not always so complete as to make them in any sense final; while the interpretation of the data may not in all cases be above criticism; and while some of the standards are not as widely applicable as they are stated to be; nevertheless, the general method by which they are deduced and the terms in which they are expressed are so far superior to other methods and other terms as to put them in a class by themselves.
