What About
8 week old broilers in a test pen at the
Fruitvxlle Farm.
as*
As a result of the continuing and in-
tensive research of our Nutrition Depart-
ment, Miller & Bushong, will on Monday,
August 13, start the marketing of
EARLY BIRD
NEW IMPROVED BROILER RATIONS
What Is Different About These Rations?
1. A DIFFERENT and MORE EFFICIENT balance of the amino acids.
2. ANOTHER SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE in the energy value.
How Will These Rations Perform?
With these rations LESS FEED per lb. of broiler will be required.
Our field tests indicate an average 7% improvement in feed conversion,
The grower who has been getting conversions in a range of from 2.15 - 2.25, can with
equal management and environmental conditions expect meat/ feed ratios of from
2.00 to 2.10.
This means an INCREASED YIELD of about 67 lbs. of broiler meat per ton of feed.
(At 15c PER LB. OF MEAT THIS MEANS AN EXTRA RETURN OF $10.05 PER TON
OF FEED USED.)
• How About Production Costs?
The net result will be a
SUBSTANTIALLY LOWER COST PER LB. OF BROILER MEAT PRODUCED.
