Feeds; Animal nutrition. 214 FEEDS AND FEEDING, ABRIDGED feed. When animals which are nearly mature are fattened, but little nitrogen or mineral matter is stored in the body, over 95 per ct. being put out in the manure. Pigs fattened while still growing and storing nitrogen in their lean meat tissues return in the manure but 85 per ct. of the nitrogen in their feed. Very young animals, growing rapidly in bone, muscle, and body organs, will store in their body most of the fertilizing constituents of their feed. As milk is rich in nitrogen and mineral matter, the cow in milk returns in the manure but about 75 per ct. of the nitrogen and 90 per ct. of the mineral matter of her feed, the rest going into the milk. Considering the proportion of the various classes and ages of ani-. Result of Allowing Manure to Waste Away When manure is allowed to waste away as in the preceding illustration, not only is much of the weight of the manure lost, but that which remains contains much less fertility per ton than fresh manure. The pile of corn at the left was grown on a plot fertilized with manure which had been exposed to the weather over winter. The large pile at the right was grown on a plot fertilized with the same amount of fresh manure. (From Wisconsin Station.) mals on the average farm, probably about 80 per ct. of the nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash of the feed is recovered in the feces and urine. Fertility and manurial value of feeds.—In buying or selling feeds far too few farmers consider their value as fertilizers as well as their feeding value. The amounts of fertilizing constituents in all important feeds are given in Appendix Table III. For comparison, the data for.
