Extract

The cost of conducting digestibility trials with cows is high, due to the need for either elaborate equipment for separating faeces and urine or a considerable number of assistants to remain constantly behind the cows catching the excreta as they are voided. Manual collection of excreta was used extensively by earlier workers, and, in a recent report of the most suitable arrangements for experiments using this method, Eheart, Holdaway & Pratt (1945) found that one attendant was necessary for every cow on test with a trained chemist also present in the shed at all times.
