MARKET EGG
We DO NOT HAVE the BEST FEED,
IT HASN’T BEEN MADE.... YET!

Average
Lot #5 and Lot #7 are our regular Early
Bird All-Mash Laying Rations but fed with
out #2O pellets.
The other lots represent modifications which
we hope might give us improved perfor-
mance.
The over-all performance of these birds is
considered satisfactory. An average of 3.72
pounds of feed per dozen eggs for six
months production is good.

At- Early Bird the search for improvements in performance in our
feeds is an ever-continuing task.
For Example:
Here's a summary of results for six months feeding trials in eight
pens in one of the houses on Early Bird Farm.
The birds in these pens were housed July 21, 1961.

What Does it Mean to You?
if the ration in #6 Pen does prove to be o true value, it would
mean a reduction of 12 cents in the cost of producing a case
of eggs. An average net saving of $78.00 on every 1000 hens
you house.
Our Aim for You:
• Better Qualify

This average includes the first month these
birds were housed when production was
27.05% and the conversion B.J.
Note: Lot #6. !t looks promising.
Our Nutrition Department hopes that
#6 will prove to be a true value which
will stand up under repeated tests.
Of course, this is the type of improvement
which we look for in work of this kind.
