Individual Feeding for the Comparative Feeding Trial^*

Macdonald College, Canada

Abstract

Conclusions: In concluding it may be in order to suggest that individual feeding is not a cure-all for all the shortcomings of the comparative feeding trial. As a method of procedure it has in its favor the fact that it makes possible a record of the feed eaten by each individual animal in the trial, and for this reason alone would seem to be worthy of the serious attention of workers in this field.

The proposals made, however, are not considered to be free from faults. Some of their weaknesses are fully appreciated by the writer. Doubtless other faults will very'quickly be discovered by those of wider experience in animal experimentation. They are offered in the hope that they may be considered and either improved or discarded in favor of other more suitable schemes. If they do this, they will have served their purpose.
