A procedure for the routine determination of lignin in feedstuffs is given Studies with the cow, sheep, and rabbit indicate that lignin as determined by this method is not digested. A lignin ratio technique for the determination of the digestibility of feedstuffs is described, and data are presented to show the reliability of this technique. The use of lignin and of cellulose values in a scheme for the analysis of feedstuffs is discussed in the light of data obtained from digestion trials with animals.
