What determines laying house profits? Price of eggs?
Disease? Cost of feed? Rate of lay? Yes ... all these
are important, but record-keeping Eastern poultry
men will tell you the biggest factor of all is the kind
of a pullet you start with!
They’re not talking about the different strains, neces
sarily. They're merely saying that pullets started and
raised right— with the best of breeding, feeding, sanita
tion, and management—invariably make more eggs
and more money than those raised any other way.
In fact, poorly-raised pullets sometime fail to make
a return over feed cost!
So raise them on the Purina Program. We’ll help you
all we can with advice on debeaking, housing, feeding.
We have Purina disease treatments and wormers with
Research-approved directions on how to use them.
We’ll help you wind up next fall with a bunch of big,
sturdy, Purina-fed pullets developed to return good
money for you in the laying house.
