N - i i Mel Gehman Heritage Poultry Management Services PA When we first saw Harold’s efficiency figures we looked for a mistake somewhere We thought the scale on his mixer must be off But, according to Harold, everything checked out and the figures are correct The Haruestall was Harold’s idea But we can say that we have monitored all aspects of his flocks and we see a dramatic increase in feed efficiency this year Of all the customers’ flocks we serve, Harold Kreaay’s report shows the best feed conversion Since our businesses to provide the best results for our customers, we are looking carefully at the contribution to egg production efficiency indicated by Harold’s use of Harvestall Chillcured corn I - 1 I % I Claude Hess Milford Mast 215-286-9118 Elverson, Pa. “I get more eggs with less feed using Harvestall Chillcured com.” FEED CONVERSION PERCENT HEN DAY PRODUCTION 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 I 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 per bird in 1980 over 1979. That’s why I say that if the other systems were free, 'I would still be better off buying the Harvestall Harold Kready, Mt. Joy , PA For feeding my flock of 10,000 Shaver hens I know there’s nothing better than naturally cured corn. This Harvestall Chillcuring, system is everything the man said it would be. I get the quality grain I want and I save money in the process. I 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. On top of that I 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%. because of the way it pays for itself and keeps on appreciating Doesn’t it make sense that grain that is naturally cured will he higher quality than grain that has had the life cooked out of it?
