PSU’s Electronic Computer Used
To Figure Low-cost Broiler Feed
Few people other than feed
mill operators know how difficult
it is to make a competitive animal
feed these days It is fairly easy
to make a feed mixture if you
are not concerned with its cost
But, if you are trying to give the
farmer the maximum feed value
per dollar, you must considers
score or more of materials and
calculate the quantities of each to
use for each change m price This
is such a difficult problem that its
precise solution was impractical
until the development of the
“electronic brain ”
A few of the larger milling
companies already employ elec
fomc computers, such as Penn
stac, the Penn State robot calcula
tor Pcnnstac recently was put to
use Iyy R V. Bucher, Poultry Nu
tritionist, and R F Hutton, Agri
cultural Economist at the Agricul
tural Experiment Station, Univer
sity Park, in solving the problem
of making a low-cost broiler feed.
THE BIG JOB, these men re
port, is that of getting the infor
mation ready to feed into Penn
slac. Results are obtained almost
at once. But, every time a trial
change is made in the ration, 23
simultaneous equations have to
he solved.
Problems of this size have been
sold at $22 00 and 32 head mostly No
3 277 lbs at $2l 00 A few mixed No. 1
to 3, 300-400 lb sows $l7 50 $lB 50
SHEEP A 27 head lot of 79 lb most
ly choice spring slaughter lambs sold
for $29 00

■ Your Egg Washer Tells On You
■ Yes, take a good look at your egg' washer. Do you
■ see it as someone else would see it? Is it nice and
■ bright and clean each evening, filled with fresh clean
■ water, ready to go the next day? Or is it so coated
■ and scummy that you can hardly see what it’s made
■ of? You know, when I see an egg washer that looks
* that way, I soon form my own opinion of the type of
■ poultryman the owner is. And I’ve seen some that
■ are filthy sights, some that look like they are filled
■ with soup, probably the water hadn’t been changed
■ for a week, and then we expect people to eat more
■ eggs. Actually, it takes only a few minutes each day
5 to scrub the washer and change the water when you’re
■ finished with it. That is one chore that is never left
2 undone on our farm. How about yours?
5 Mean Old Washer or Sissy Eggs? ■
■ Does your washer crack too many eggs Perhaps ■
■ your washer is too rough, or more likely, you need J
■ eggs with better shells. I highly recommend Greider ■
■ Super-Cross Layers They are proven hard shell layers, ■
■ at Official Laying Tests, and in the field. Nothing ■
■ lays them harder, except maybe a turtle. However, *
a I cannot recommend that you fill your laying ■
■ houses with turtles. Tinted eggs, you know? ■

solved by mathmeticians working
with pencil and paper but this
way of getting a solution is so
slow that the answer would be
out-of-date before it could be ob
tained. Besides, solving the prob
lem this way is much more ex
pensive than by a computer.
THE LOW-COST broiler feed
design devised by Boucher and
Hutton had 22 specifications.
These specifications provided for
balanced amounts of all the fac
tors needed for proper growth of
broilers.
Twenty-six ingredients were
considered in choosing a formula
which demonstrates the method
used. Of these, 12 were limited m
the quantity used, included were
such items as meat scrap, fish
meal, dried milk products and
tallow. Some requirements, as for
vitamins, antibiotics, and min
erals, can be met only from one
source, thus, ingredients provid
ing these amounts were added in
fixed amounts..
In all, 18 items were added to
the ration in fxed amounts. The
number of ingredients considered
can be increased easily. A new
formula will usually be indicated'
for each change in a ingredient
price.
