Several series of digestion trials with humansubjects, rats, and guinea pigs have been conducted aspilot work leading to a reinvestigation of the physiologicalfuel values of foods. Satisfactory digestioncoefficients were obtained by the index method with eachspecies when chromic oxide was ingested at each feedingin constant proportion to the dry matter intake. Asjudged by their ability to digest a wheat diet supplementedwith egg, the results of digestion trials with rats andguinea pigs may not be applied directly to human studies.
