A sample designated as “Feeding Stuff Powder” was found to contain proportions of constituents such as fat, albuminoids, sugar and ash, indicating that the sample was a skimmed milk powder. In the Society’s Schedule of Unit Prices for February 1939 skimmed milk powder was given as worth £20 per ton. I pointed out to the member who asked for the analysis that the sample was not worth the figure quoted. Two samples of meat and bone meal contained oil to the extent of 115 and 16 per cent, and albuminoids t0 the extent of 46 and 60 per cent respectively. It is natural to expect that such a feeding-stuff as meat and bone meal should show considerable variation in the proportions of the con- stituents owing to the feeding-stuff being derived from a waste product. The limits of variation in the proportions of oil, albuminoids, and phosphoric acid in meat and. bone meal are given in the Fertiliscrs and Feeding Stuffs Act, 1928. The allowance as a deviation from the statutory statement in the case of oil, albuminoids, and phosphoric acid is one- tenth of the guarantee. The samples analysed were satis- ANALYSES FOR MEMBERS DURING 1939. 157 factory from the point of view of the prescribed limits of variation. The following table (Table V.) shows the proportions of the nutritive constituents found in the undernoted feeding-stuffs. it will be seen that blood meal contains the highest proportion of albuminoids, followed by extracted herring meal—that is, meal from which most of the oil has been extracted.

A number of samples of pig meal was analysed. The pro- portion of oil varied from 3 to 35 per cent; albuminoids varied from 11-8 to 17 '97 per cent; While fibre varied from 4 to 65 per cent. All the samples were satisfactory samples of pig meal. The following table (Table VI.) gives two examples of mixtures suitable for pig feeding. White fish meal is used in one case, while in the other case linseed cake and extracted soya bean meal replace the White fish meal :— TABLE VI. RATION No. l. RATION No. 2. Flaked Maize . . . 25 1b.
