WHAT WILL YOU HAVE?
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,
