Recovery of chromic oxide administered daily in the form of impregnated paper to steers fed prairie hay was near 100% by the third day after initial administration and continued near this level for a 9-day period, with an average recovery of 103%. Differences among steers and days were not significant. When fecal samples were collected every 2 hr., differences among sampling times were not significant.The recovery of chromic oxide when the indicator was administered every other day was 98% for days beginning 11 hr. after administration and 76% for alternate days. When fecal samples were collected from each steer every 2 hr., differences among sampling times were significant (P<.01). When fecal grab samples were collected only twice daily from each steer the recoveries were nearly equal to the recoveries when samples were taken 12 times daily from each steer.These studies show that chromic oxide impregnated in paper can be administered daily or every other day with nearly complete recovery of the indicator within 3 days and that it is feasible to administer chromic oxide daily or on alternate days and to collect fecal grab samples on the same day in studies with steers fed hay in drylot.

Average recovery of chromic oxide was 71.5% for days 3 through 8 when the indicator was administered as a component of shredded paper in boluses to five steers grazing dormant tobosa. Steer differences were significant (P<.05) with recovery ranging from 54.4 to 85.5%, but differences among days (3 through 8) were not significant (P>.05). When the shredded paper was packed in gelatin capsules and administered to four steers grazing dormant tobosa, average recovery for days 4 through 9 was 82.4%. Steer and day differences were not significant. With four steers grazing green tobosa, average recovery of chromic oxide was 88.0% for days 4 through 10, and 93.4% for days 7 through 10 when the indicator was administered in paper boluses. Differences among days (4 through 10) were not significant, but steer differences were significant (P<.05). Concentration of chromic oxide in the feces varied throughout the day. The highest average recovery (79.5%) was obtained at 5 p.m., and this recovery was significantly higher (P<.05) than the recoveries for 5 a.m. through 3 p.m.Recovery of chromic oxide was considerably less than 100% and was highly variable among steers. Apparently, administering this indicator impregnated in shredded paper is no better than other methods of administration and results in wide variation among animals within a trial and between trials.

The meetings will be held at the Hotel Sherman in Chicago, Illinois, on December 1 and 2, 1942. The programs of the general sessions will be devoted to discussion of ways in which animal husbandry work can best support the war effort and other timely topics. Because of the emergency only a few papers have been submitted in some sections and none in others, hence certain sections will be combined and others omitted. These and other necessary changes will be shown in the printed program of the meetings. Many abstracts exceeded the 250 word limit and it has been necessary for the Editor to make arbitrary reductions because the time element in meeting the printing deadline prevented consultation with the authors. Sections are arranged in alphabetical order and abstracts within each section are arranged alphabetically by name of the senior author.

The meetings are scheduled to be held at the Hotel Sherman in Chicago on November 24 and 25, 1950 with a dinner for the honor guest on November 26. Abstracts have been submitted for the following papers.

The meetings will be held at the Hotel Sherman in Chicago, Illinois, on November 30 and December 1, 1943. The programs of the general sessions will be devoted to discussions of the ways in which animal husbandry work can best serve the war effort and the adjustments that will have to be made in the post-war period. Abstracts exceeding the 250-word limit have been arbitrarily reduced by the Editor since the limited time for getting them to the printer makes it impossible to return them to the authors for correction.
