A typical Sniffen article--well written, concise and very usable! We all need to look at the overall efficiencies described in this article. A major shift in the thought process of the nutritionist has to be increasing financial return instead of working to get maximum production.

Too often the only criteria is "how much protein" when the main limitation is other nutrients.
