but Agway research has shown
that their nutrient requirements may
vary significantly
Agway can now offer feeding programs tailored
to many commercial layer strains.
It has been well established that meat birds have
different nutrient requirements than layers.* Now,
Agway research has gone a step farther It has
demonstrated that different strains of the same
breed of commercial layers havedifferent nutrient
requirements. The trials show that production
can be improved with a feeding program that's

Agway research is continuing to develop feed
ing programs that provide, without excesses, the
nutrients your favorite strain needs for optimum
production Such research will help you, as a
commercial producer, bring more eggs to market
at a cost that will provide you a greater return
