“PROPERLY conducted feeding trials are still the most direct means of attacking many of the feeding problems of the live-stock farmer.” Grindley (1914) made this statement in connection with his report on “Improvements in the Methods of Conducting Feeding Trials” more than 15 years ago. Since then nothing has happened that would indicate that feeding trials, properly conducted, have outlived their usefulness as a means of determining the application of the results of fundamental research data to farm practice nor have, since then, any better methods been developed which should supercede the feeding test for this purpose.The criticism that usually develops regarding this type of nutritional study is the not infrequent failure to duplicate results—sometimes even under apparently favorable conditions—when a feeding experiment is repeated. The National Research Council in its Bulletin No. 33 “On the Formulation of Methods of Experimentation in Animal Nutrition” (1923) Observes that .
