Abstract
The composition and feeding value of the common heather has been extensively studied by Thomaset al.(1934, 1935, 1953, 1955, 1956). He has shown that as the heather ages the protein content declines. Thus, samples from 2-year-old growths had a crude protein content (on a dry-matter basis) of 11·9% while that of growths 8 years old was 6·5–6·9%. Little or no information, however, appears to be available on thequalityof heather protein, as judged by its amino acid composition.
