Report of Committee on Terminology of Feeding Experiments^*

Your Committee on Terminology begs leave to submit the following report:

In consideration of the increasing use that is being made of slaughter tests in feeding experiments, and in view of the importance of having as full chemical control of these tests as possible, it was deemed wise to report on the terminology of this subject especially.

Your Committee did not find it convenient to separate the definition of terms used from the consideration of the methods of conducting slanghter tests and the number and character of the chemical samples required for accurate control, and has, therefore, included them in the report at the risk of making it perhaps as much a report on methods of work as on the definition of terms employed.

It is unnecessary to urge the importance of uniformity in the method of conducting slaughter tests or of securing sufficient chemical data to properly and accurately interpret the results of feeding trials.

^* This report was accepted provisionally with the understanding that it would be published in the proceedinga, in order to give every member a chance to consider it carefully before final adoption.
