Poultry Wastes
Crude protein supplement
made from dehydrated poultry
manure costs less than con
ventional supplements, ac
cording to results of tests
reported by U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) scientists.
Nutrients in dehydrated
poultry manure are utilized as
efficiently as nutrients from
conventional supplements, but
more research is needed to en
sure safety of this kind of feed
before it can be recommended for
rummants-dairy and beef cattle,
sheep and goats.
In a talk given at the annual
meeting of the American Dairy
Science Association, Lewis W.
Smith, animal scientist of
USDA’s Agricultural Research
Service (ARS), reported on
studies that he and ARS animal
scientist George F. Fries con
ducted at Beltsville, Md.
“Cows used the nutrients of this
feed as effectively as those of a
conventional feed, but they ate
less silage and consequently

produced less milk than did cows
on a conventional diet,” Dr.
Smith said. ‘‘Although we have
not determined why the cows ate
less silage, the test data show
that the savings from the cheaper
dehydrated poultry manure
would more than compensate
for the income lost from lower
milk production.

Hears About Birds
The Elizabethtown-Donegal 4-
H Community Club met at the
home of Roy Sauder. The
meeting was called to order by
the vice-president, Jeff Swarr.
He led the group in the 4-H Club
pledge. Roll call and minutes
were read by Rachel Brubaker,
secretary.
Before the meeting the Club
played baseball. After the
meeting entertainment was
provided by Miss Anna Mae Eby.
She told the Club about birds --
beneficial birds, summer birds,
winter birds, year-round birds,
and a lot more about birds.
Following the entertainment,
refreshments were served
The next meeting will be an ice
cream party June 28 at the home
of Martin Brubaker.

used as a crude protein sup
plement. It is first dehydrated,
then blended with corn meal to
provide 17 percent crude protein.
In these experiments, each 100
pounds of concentrate contained
32 pounds of dehydrated poultry
manure and 68 pounds of corn
meal. The mixture was then
pelleted.”
The scientists prepared the
experimental diet from manure
of caged laying hens because
drugs and medicants generally
need not be fed to layers.
However, further tests are being
made to find out if the new feed is
safe for man and animals.
Dairy cattle are ideal for use in
research with feed made from
processed wastes. Ironically,
they may be the last group of
livestock for which approval of
such feed will be obtained,
because of excretion of chemical
residues in milk.
As test animals, dairy cattle
produce fast results in terms of
changes in milk production and
chemical residues, if any. In
contrast, meat animals take
longer to rear to market weight
and they must then be
slaughtered to determine if any
chemical residues appear in the
meat. Because dairy cattle do not
have to be slaughtered and
replaced in each test, scientists
can obtain more results for the
same research dollar by using
these animals.
