Excerpt from Milk Necessary for the Nation's Welfare We are learning that the individual members of this important class of food substances differ among themselves in nutritive value. A pound of protein from cornmeal or wheat flour is not equal to a pound of protein from milk or cheddar cheese or cot tage cheese or any kind of cheese in meeting growth needs. This is probably the most Important fact in a practical sense that farmers and the American public will have to recognize in the future. The building units from the proteins of our cereal grains are not so well suited as those from milk for rapid build-2 ing Of the protein structure of animals. It is particularly in this direction that nature did so well when through the mammary gland she constructed from the blood stream and thus indirectly from certain parts of poor proteins of the food, the proteins for the nutrition of the young. If the cereal grain proteins are used as the sole source of pro tein for the growing animal they will Show an efficiency of less than 30 per cent, while the proteins from milk will reach an efficiency of 65 per cent. In other words, while only 30 per cent Of a pound of proteins from the corn kernel would be stored away, 65 per cent of a pound from milk would be stored by the growing animal. In storing the 30 per cent of proteins from the cereal grains 70 per cent will be wasted, because it does not fit well into the growing structure of the young; but only 35 per cent of the milk proteins will be wasted.
