High-fat Pellets for Broiler Ration
c?
A major feed company has per
-fected a technique for pelleting a
ration for btoilers on a
commercial basis, it was
announced by Ralston-Punna ex
ecutives at a special news confer
ence.
The new product will carry a
guaranteed fat content of eight
per cent, approximately twice as
much as old production methods
were able to pellet The new la
tion will be available to broiler
growers in principal broiler areas
immediately.
Researcheis tested the new ra
tion on many thousands of birds
over a period of a good many

Watch it pulverize the hardest ground, smooth your
roughest field into a mellow, level seedbed. See it
roil over rocks and stumps with ease.
A semiflexible frame and spring-cushioned gangs
permit the No. 241 to climb over a stone like a cater
pillar. No damage to blades or other parts. Your
tractor doesn’t have to hoist and drag it across an
obstruction. Yet, it’s rigid enough, strong enough,
heavy enough to cut the toughest surface.
Buy an all-purpose Oliver and you’ll have full angle
cutting, thorough shredding of trash, accurate depth
control in any soil. You'll cross water-
ways, travel to and from fields easier.
You'll get prelubricated, sealed-for -

barrier” in broiler production can
be broken commercially. In other
words, it is possible now, under
favoiable conditions, to produce
commercially one pound of broil
er meat on less than two pounds
of feed
This was haded as another ex
ample of the teamwork between
poultry nutrition re'search and en
gineering research Discoveries of
nutrition researchers have led the
way in broiler industry progres,
but it has been the ability of the
milling and production experts to
apply the fruits of research in
commercial broiler operations
that has pumped strengtn imo the
broiler industry.
Commercial and college re
searchers have shown that pellet
ing a broiler ration results in
definite economic advantages.
They have also shown that the ad
dition of high levels of fats speeds
growth and improves feed effi
