Feeds; Animal nutrition. LEADING CEEEALS AND THEIR BY-PRODUCTS 125 in lime, such as legume hay, or lime may be supplied as ground lime- stone or wood ashes. Owing to its bulky nature and also because it is often high in price compared with other con- centrates, bran is not com- monly fed to farm animals as the only concentrate, but is mixed with other feeds to add volume or to balance rations low in protein. Its richness in protein and phosphorus, and its beneficial laxative action make it valuable as part of the concentrate allowance for dairy cows, breeding animals of all classes, and young, growing animals. "With all horses it is useful, especially on idle days, because of its bulk and laxa- tive effect. It is frequently supplied at least once a week in the form of a bran mash, wet or steamed. It is too bulky and too laxative to form a large part of the ration for hard-worked horses. Bran is often mixed with corn and other heavy concentrates in starting fattening cattle or sheep on feed. It is valuable for brood sows not getting pas- ture or legume hay, tho too bulky for young pigs or fatten- ing hogs. Due to its widespread popu- larity, bran is often high in price compared with other nitrogenous concentrates which can be used with equally good results and many of which carry more protein.

To some extent standard or brown middlings and shorts are interchangeable terms. Standard wheat.
