After several years of experimentation this difficulty has now been satisfactorily over- come by the use of a standard make of conveyor belting, which is composed of rubber with a fabric basis. The use of this heavy, 3-ply belting has, however, necessitated a considerable modification of the original construc- tion of the apparatus. This belt is operated by a one-quarter motor. Figure 6—Diagram of apparatus for separate collection of feces and urine of cows The legs of 4" x 4" fir and the horizontal pieces are 2" x 6" and 24 inches apart. The drainage pan, held in place by two clamps, is removable. Removable cups at the bot- tom have screen strainers to prevent fragments of feces from washing down into the urine bottles. C, chute from stall above; B, top surface of revolving belt; Ri, belt roller; R2, driving sprocket; D, driving chain; S, speed reduction gear; M, motor; F, receptacles for feces; U, receptacle for urine. having 1200 hitched to a speed reduction unit by which the speed of the belt itself is reduced to about one revolution in two minutes. With this apparatus it is now a very simple matter to collect and weigh urine and feces separately for any desired length of time. At [this laboratory collections are made continuously from September until the following May or June. The apparatus beneath the respiration chamber for the separate collection of feces and urine from cows is identical in design and construction to the apparatus used for this purpose under the metabolism stalls.
