History of digestion experiments
The first true digestibility trials on farm stock were carried out at the Weende Experiment Station near by Henneberg and Stohmann. They began their experiments in 1858 and in I860 published their findings. In it they condemned Thaer's hay equivalents and gave results of their experiments. The digestion experiments were started almost at the same time when the feedstuff were being analysed chemically at the Weende experiment station.
