Extracted text: Question:- The required dose of chromic oxide (10 g) is impregnated on cellulose or paper, and enclosed it in a gelatin capsule and administered to the experimental animals. The preliminary period should be at least 10 days and collection period should be 7 days. Collect at least 50 grab samples of faeces from each animal. To overcome diurnal variation, collect randomly in the pasture or pen. If more than one animal is in a pasture, coloured polyethylene particles may be administered to the animals so that the faeces may be distinguished from one animal to another. Diets and faeces samples of individual lambs were dried separately at 60°C. Chromic oxide was estimated in the diet and faeces samples. Based on the data give below calculate the apparent digestibility when chromic oxide was administrated according to the situation given above. % Composition on DMB Lignin Protein Chromic oxide Forage 13.0 7.7 Faeces 22.6 6.0 1.15
