title: [Guar II. Feeding Trials with Animals].
abstract: Feeding trials with guarbeans or its protein- or carbohdrat-rich fractions with cattle, poultry and rats are briefly summarized. The protein fraction of the bean contains toxic substances of unknown structure. The toxic effect is diminished by heating. In case of addition of the carbohydrate-rich fractions of the bean in the feeding experiments depression of growth is observed probably in connection with the bad utilization of the galactomannan or the decrease of fodder consumption due to the expanding volume of the fodder in the gut.
