The amount of protein in the differentclasses of feeds varies greatly. Protein is the most:expensive nutrient, and feeding stuffs, such as cotton-seed meal, containing much protein are always the mostexpensive. Protein forms the flesh of animals. It isalso found abundantly in skin, blood, wool, hair, and. PIGS OF THE SAME AGE Pig on the left was fed wheat and wheat ghiten; weight, 55 lbs.

Efficiency of Protein.— Pecent experiments withanimals show that proteins differ in nutritive proteins from the grains, and from their by-products are not as efficient in producing growth inyoung animals as are those proteins obtained from milkand from other animal products. Pigs and otheranimals, fed entirely on grains and other vegetable 218 a:n intkoduction to ageiculture feeds, have, in experiments, made much less growththan pigs that have received a considerable quantity oftheir protein from skimmed milk or other animalproducts.
