Extract

1. Four cuts of rye.grass S 23, three cuts each of cocksfoot S 37 and timothy S 48 and two cuts of rye-grass S 24 taken at different stages of growth and artificially (heat) dried were fed to mature sheep in a series of experiments designed to measure their value as sources of energy. The four cuts of rye-grass S 23 were each given to three sheep–two of the animals receiving it at five different levels of intake and the third at two levels. The other grasses were each given to four sheep at two levels of intake. The fasting heat productions of the sheep were measured at the beginning and end of the grass feeding periods. Altogether 152 experiments were made.
