FODDER UNITS
The Danes were the first to speak in terms of fodder units, and, as the results of experiments carried out by Fjord and his successors in Demnark, every intelligent Scandinavian farmer knows the relative feeding value of nearly every stock food used in his country. For convenience they chose a pound of barley, the food with which they are most familiar, as the unit, and compared the relative values of all foods with the pound of barley. This fodder unit of lib of barley equals 6 of separated milk,, 12 of whey, 10 of mangels, 12J of turnips, 2& of meadow hay, 4 of oat straw, and so on.
