Here are sound reasons—backed by Agway research—for feeding High Layer: □ Daily Nutrient Intake (DNI) feeding eliminates the need for changing energy levels each spring and fall. □ With High Layer feeds, the energy level remains constant throughout the year. Hens adjust their energy intake by consuming more or less feed. □ The poultryman simply matches the feed to the amount of intake. There is no need to overfeed ex pensive protein to meet energy requirements. 61.25; lot 820 lbs. 58.00; Large Frame 2 Holsteins 275-375 lbs. 75.25-77.50; 425 lbs. 71.50; 625660 lbs. 59.00- 59.250 700-800 lbs. 56.00-59.50; 800-850 lbs. 56.00-56.50.
