Extract

1. The relation between the soluble-nitrogen content of grass silage and the pepsin digestibility has been investigated, and formulae have been derived for calculating the protein digestibility in the silage dry matter from the determined solublenitrogen content.

2. Comparisons have been made between the calculated results for protein digestibility, the results using the formulae of Watson and Dijkstra and the digestibility as determined on sheep.

3. The peculiarities of molassed silage in the above connexion have been noted.
