Experiments at the Uni versity of Maryland show that as energy is increased in the feed the amount of protein must be increased. Historically the amount of pro tein in a feed was expressed ir\ percentage of protein to the to tal ration, however, with the use of less fibre and more energy in the feed the protein must be cal culated on a basis of calone-pro- tein ratio. The feed manufacturers are formulating their complete feeds with the calorie-protein ratio in proper balance and the poultry man need make ncr adjustments. It is m„the feeding of mash con centrates with a grain mixture that the feeder must carefully cal culate his proportions if he is to maintain a balance between cal ories ahd protein, The mash concentrates will in dicate the calorie content on the Look Alike I But Do They Weigh Alike 1 NEW HOLLAND CONCRETE PRODUCTS ' New Holland, Pa. label but as the calorie or energy content of various grains such as corn, whoa? or oats have a con siderable vauation in energy con tent, careful calculation must be made to have an energy or calorie ratio to protein ot 59 to 1 which is considered about right to main tain 70 per cent egg production Manheim Twp.
