Overview

Excerpt from Feed Cost of Egg Production: Results of Three Years' Experiments at the Government Poultry Farm The results show that hens will not eat too much beef scrap and that they can be allowed to select their own mash feeds. One thing emphasized in this work is the large percentage of corn meal, which is 2 to 3 times as much as is usually recommended in a mash. The large percentage of corn meal in this mash did not tend to make the hens too fat, as Shown by the monthly weight records in Table 10. The health of the fowls was in no way adversely affected by the large percentage of corn meal in the mash. Pen 3 went through its entire second year (1913 - 14) without any Sickness or deaths and was the only pen in which no mortality occurred during that year. Pen 5, which also had a large percentage of corn meal in the mash, went through the year 1915, when they were 3-year-old hens, without any deaths.
