itf Fanwhn, Saturday, Ftbruary 17,1979 SO—Lancasi m The Bio-Mlttent Lighting Program is a new concept for lighting pullets and layers. It is the result of four years of testing and modifi- cations by Purina researchers to bring poultrymen a program that will save feed and reduce the.use of electricity. The program is based on early research that showed when lights were programmed to go on and off on a specific schedule the rate of production remained equal to production obtained when light was constant. Purina Bio-Mitfent lighting Offers These Advantages l.Lowers Feed Costs Tests show a reduction of 0.2 pounds of feed per dozen eggs in layers and 0.5 pound less feed per pullet to 20 weeks of age. This amounts to 5% to 7% increased feed ef ficiency without any loss of production. (At 6' per pound net savings in feed costs can be about 18 c to 20* per layer per cycle). THE RESEARCH PROVEN 810-MITTENT LIGHTING PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE ONLT FROM YOUR PURINA DEALER. FOR BEST RESULTS, THE 810-MITTENT LIGHTING PROGRAM IS RECOMMENDED FOR USE ONLY WITH PURINA 810-4 POULTRY RATIONS. PHONE 717-442-4183 717 768-3301 PARADISE.

PA 17005 Research introduced an “industry first” with a detailed program for making full use of this lighting principle. * for maximum benefits, environmentally con trolled, blackout or light-tight housing ’is required. Bio-Mittent Lighting can be used in open sided housing during the part of the day when lights are normally used; however, the advantage is savings in electricity and not feed reduction. 2. Reduces Electric Bill. Research and field tests show electricity costs can be cut nearly V * compared to a constant light program. (At 5* to 6*- per bird., added income could be 25* for the life cycle of the pullet and hen.) 3. Improves Shell Strength. The improvement is small but consistently 1 to V/2% thicker or stronger shells are pro duced than shells with eggs from hens on constant light. UMBERGER’S MILL PHONE 717357 5161 FONTANA.
