Problems in the economic interpretation of feeding trials intended to be of use to farmers are considered. It is suggested that regression analysis is more useful as an analytical technique in such trials than is analysis of variance and problems concerned with selection of an appropriate regression equation are discussed.

Reference is made to data from a trial involving whey and meal feeding of pigs.
