the pen. as the rancher stated his pups had “blown out". During July, August and September of this year, in many weeks we had three to four reports daily from different fox breeders both on the Mainland and on the Island, who were losing from one to ﬁve foxes. During the particularly hot spell we were de- luged with reports oi outbreaks oi diarrhoea, and in the majority of the cases that I investigated, the diarrhoea was the result of an in- complete digestion of the food. While we have had a very alarming number oi fatalities reported to this ranch through bloating and other digestive disturbances, which have been a very serious loss to fox breeders, yet it is very prob- able that there is still a greater loss through minor digestive dis- turbances that do not lead directly to fatal results. but do materially affect the fur and breeding qual- ities of the ioxes.

Necessary to Digestion

To have complete digestion of the food it is very necessary thﬂ lt should be porous to the diBPSUVB juices. When starch is digested it is converted into a soluble sugar so that it can pass from the aliment- ary canal into the circulatory sys- tem. and therefore. it is liable to form a slime around the food. A

FIRE RESISTANT acids which have a glue-like con- sistency. Many fox breeders are of the opinion that when meat is mixed with the ceieals they are adding so much roughage. whilst as a matter of fact it is the exact opposite and “has to form a sticky mass which retards the permeation of the digestive juices. in a very

from bloating, the fox breeders have been feeding a mixture oi meat and cereals. While it is im- perative that this mixture should be fed, and ranching under pres- ant-day éonditions it cannot be avoided, still it is very imperative that a suitable roughage should be zidded to a mixture of meat and cereals and fox breeders should not consider meat as a roughage.

In a large number of the post mortem examinations of foxes that have died through bloating, ex- cessive amounts of water has been found in the stomach, and in many cases fox breeders have stated that they had added water to the food before it was fed. This is a most unwise practice, and fox breeders should avoid as far as possible. adding water to the food, especially uncooked food. The food should be in such a condition that it will be masticated by the ioxes, in order to have a proper ﬂow oi the saliva. The more saliva in the iood, the better will be the diges- tion a.nd the healthier the condi- tion of the stomach. In Great Britain there is a school of scien- tists that advocate "Fletcherism" —chew the iood thirty times before nvallowing. Under conditions liable to induce bloating, it is a very dangerous practice to add water lo the food, as the food being already saturated when entering the stom- ach, inhibits to some extent the saturation of the food by the di- gestive juices, under which condi- tion it is liable to ferment in the stomach producing bloating. Other fox breeders that have lost foxes through fatalities have watched their foxes immediately after feed- ing. Foxes should be watered at that time oi the day most remote from the time of feeding.

Raw Cereal Ration:

In the Experimental Fox Ranch groups of foxes have been fed raw cereal rations for a period oi four and five years, and throughout the whole period there has been a complete digestion of the cereals without any evidence of any un- digested food in the faeces. A num- ber of fox breeders have reported to the Experimental Fox Ranch and others through different publi- cations, that a raw cereal ration could not be fed on account oi the fact that it passed through in an undigested state. As a complete di- gestion of raw cereals has consist- ently been maintained in the Ex- perimental Fox Ranch, it would appear that it was nothing more than blind stupidity on the part of the fox breeders that raw cereal rations were not digestible. But it appears probable they were not following the conditions as prac- ticed in the Experimental Fox Ranch. It has been our practice, except when- porridge has been fed, to mix a supply of the cereal loods for one month or two months ahead, which is'kept in a separate bin and one bin has been in con- tinuous use ior this purpose for over eight years.

Yeast and Moulds

In all cereal foods and in foods in general there are various forms of yeast and moulds, and if water should be added to them. they will readily ferment, particularly in a warm room. Practically every bakery throughout the North Am- erican Continent is supplied with fresh yeast daily. It would be quite possible for them to make the yeast themselves, but flour contains so many other forms of yeast that the bakers have found from a common

to go two days, else they are liable to have a wild culture in the yeast. Hence, yeast makers have initiated a daily service to bakers. Many fox breeders, after feeding a- oer- tsin brand oi fox food without en- countering any trouble, will sud- denly have disastrous results with a new supply. In the majority of the cases from bloating, the fox breeders have been feeding the same rations previously. Undoubt- edly. in the various foods that are sold to iox ranchers there is a wide variety of yeast and moulds. the majority of these are harmless; probably many of them are real assets.
