COFFEE - TEA OR COCOA? MASH - PELLETS - CRUMBLES You pay your money and take your choice. What should the choice~be? Robert Browning, Sr. in "Nutrition Slants" concludes that in:— REPLACEMENT GROWING (Confinement) AND FLOOR LAYING OPERATIONS No significant difference results from the different methods of feeding if identical formulas are used. Economics favor mash here. Try our Early Bird #24 or 26 for real performance and low production costs. Here crumbles are justified economically. Crumbles feed easi er, mash is wasteful and carried into and contaminates the woter, For top performance we recommend our Early Bird #4O Crum bles. RANGE REARED REPLACEMENT STOCK Pellets have a place on range. Wind waste of mash causes severe loses. Pellet feeding avoids this. Same goes for tur- keys on range. DO FLOOR LAYERS NEED PELLETS? Yes, but not as the sole feed. One of the major problems is maintaining a high level of feed consumption. Come "times of stress, heat, cold or a drop in production supplemental feeding of pellets will be of immeasurable help in sustaining high pro duction or helping birds to return to a normal feed intake. Used as such, pellets give the poultrymon a real weapon to stimulate - feed consumption. We, at Early Bird, strongly believe in the benefits of supple mental pellet feeding. Our High Producers #2OA Pellet is especially formulated for increasing and maintaining high production and hatchability. Proper adaptation of these pellets results in definite economic gains, w\ilf/// Miller Bushong, Inc. Simplex Division at Janet Ave. in Lancaster.
