Abstract

The digestibillty of protein in diets with various quantities of cellulose is measured by the method reported in the previous paper, Vol, 14, No. 4, 1948, of this Bulletin. The digcstibilities are shown in table 7. These results show that then is almost no difference between each diet division of. experiment, but digestibility deviates larger with increase of cellulose content, and energy sperded by various movements coincides with increase of cellulose. Fattening ratio was 1.63 in control, 2.65 in 5%, 15.97 in 10%, 4.35 in 15% cellulose diet diviscn, and the increase of body weight in 5 days was 1gr. in control, 0.6gr. in 10%, 0.4gr. in 15%. Consequently better result might be obtained when cellulose eontcnt in diet is smaller.
