Extract

1. The relationship existing between the gross digestible energy content and the chemical composition of 24 hays has been studied with nine Cheviot wether lambs over a period of 8 months.

2. Each hay was fed to a group of three lambs for a 10-day preliminary and 10-day collection period. Faeces and urine were collected in metabolism crates.
