The fattening of animals lias for its object eliiefly tlie formation and deposition of fat in tlie body, and to a far less degree an increase in tlie amount of fiesli. According to the researches of Lawes and Gilbert, in England (p. 9), the amount of fat formed is about ten times that of the protein deposited in the body, and more than twice that of the fresh flesh. The experiments of Ilenneberg, Kern & Wattenberg (p. 178) on the fat- tening of sheep also showed a large formation of fat and a small one of flesh. In very fat animals the fat is not only deposited in the f at-tis- snes proper, but is found between the fibres of the muscles them- selves, as illustrated by Fig. 7, where a represents the muscular fibres, and 5 the fat-cells. The tenderness and juiciness, as well as the nutritive value of the re- sulting meat is thus considerably increased. The general laws of the formation of flesh and fat Iiave already been treated of at considerable length in Part. Pig. T.—Fat-Oells in Muscle, (Settogabt).
