“I get more eggs
with less feed
using Har vestall
Chillcured corn. 9
For feeding my flock of 10,000 Shaver hens I know
there’s nothing better than naturally cufed corn This
Harvestall Chillcunng system is everything the
man said it would be I get the quality grain 1
want and I save money in the process
1 switched last year from heatdrying my corn to
curing it in the Harvestall It was a good chance to
see if there is any difference between heat dried
corn and naturally cured corn, because between
the 1979 flock and the 1980 flock the only difference
was the corn they were fed
This comparison is taken from summaries prepared
by Heritage Poultry Management Services in Anneville
Both flocks had completed 11 periods.
FEED CONVERSION
PERCENT HEN DAY PRODUCTION 78.86 83.7
Where the average feed cost per dozen eggs
in this area was 27‘ my cost was 23.23 The fact of the
matter is that 1 got better production with less
feed because the quality of feed was better, and
the only thing that changed was the corn.
The surprising thing was that when we added
up the better feed conversion plus the increased
production, we found an increase of more than a dollar
r»~ bird in 1980 over 1979.
On top of that 1 saved significantly in drying costs,
both in reduced shrinkage and lower fuel cost.
Plus the investment tax credit and energy tax credit
add up to 20"..
That’s why I say (hat if the other systems were free,
1 would still be better off buying the Harvestall
because of the way it pays (or itself and keeps
on appreciating
Doesn’t it make sense that grain that
is naturally cured will be higher quality
than grain that has had the life cooked
out of it?
