SHEEP 5. Not enough of
any one grade to establish a
market.
Utilizing extensive laboratory tests and feeding experiments, Purina nutritionists
have reviewed the hen’s requirements in additionto nutrient content, availability and
market value of essential ingredients. These facts are used in conjunction with
electronic computer techniques to formulate Purina Bio-4 Laying Chows,
To meet the needs of poultry producers throughout the U.S., the Purina Bio-Rated
Poultry Chows offer the flexibility for producers to choose the ration they need for
their particular poultry operations.
The key is to match a level of ration fortification that will provide the nutrient intake
that a particular house of layers needs without any shortages or expensive and ex
cessive overages. To do this weekly records of feed intake are necessary. Such
records will return much more than effort involved to maintain them.
