Fig. 48.—Percentage Composition of the Whole Bodies of Oxen, Sheep, and Pigs For this purpose the following animals were selected—a fat calf, a half-fat and a fat ox; a fat lamb, a store sheep, three others in the half-fat, fat, and very fat condition; a store and a fat pig. These animals after slaughter were carefully divided, and the weights of the carcass and different parts of the offal were determined. Afterwards the proportions of water, fat, nitrogen, and ash in each part were determined, the composition of the ash of each part being determined later. A summary of the results is set out in Table XCL, while the diagram (Fig. 48) shows graphically the composition of the entire Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Hall, Daniel, Sir, 1864-1942; Lawes Agricultural Trust Committee; Warington, Robert, 1838-1907.
