This allows them to eat early in the cool part of the morning Be sure there is plenty of fresh feed avail able in hoppers early in the morning, even if it means filling the hoppers in the evening. I would not recommend lights on laying pullets at this time of year as it may affect production later on. 2.

The Pennsylvania June Daii'y Month Committee and Bu reau of Crop Reporting state J marketed $21,615,000 in milk last year, topped by only 10 other counties in the nation These facts were disclosed by Paul R.

It appears that improved protein quality and vitamin fortification enabled the broilers to better withstand respiratory outbreaks and continue to grow efficiently During hot weather growth may be slowed up a little, but FEED CONVERSIONS should be SUBSTANTIALLY IMPROVED. We have important “leads” for further improvements Our nutritionist is busily engaged in research to lower-feed costs per pound of broiler meat. May we serve YOU?
