Collecting the totals of the ahove tables we have the following: General Composition of Edible Portions of Experimental

The same order of arrangement with regard to the flesh constituent still holds good here for the pure bred animals. For production of flesh the Berkshire stands first, the Poland China next, and the Duroc last. But if we consider the production of fat the order is exactly reversed. —19
