FEED FOR LAYING
PULLETS IMPORTANT
(Experimental Farm News)
A reasearch project, inaugurated at
the Poultry Division of the Central
Experimental Farm, Ottawa, in 1941,
and designed to provide information
on producing the most eggs at the
lowest feed cost, while using the least
amount of high protein ingredients
has been completed. It has given
some valuable information both on ef-
ficiency and economy in rearing and in
egg production, says H. S. Gutteridge,
who directed the project.
When used for egg production, a
mash well fertilized in all known re-
spects (minerals, vitamins, etc.) but
containing protein from meat meal,
fish meal and dried skim milk in am-
ounts sufficient only to give a protein
level approximately that of a mixture
of common grains, namely 12% per
cent was inadequate as judged by a
relatively low egg production, small
egg size, low average body weight,
slow sexual maturity (days to first
egg) and high feed consumption rela-
tive to the number of eggs produced.
A similar ration averaging 14% per
cent of protein, however, gave very
satisfactory results as judged by all of
the above criteria. It was exceeded
by a comparable ration 16% per cent
protein only to a small .degree in egg
size and sexual maturity. The group
receiving 14% per cent protein used
their feed more efficiently and produc-
tion was made more economically at
this level than was the case for either
the lower or higher protein groups,
When due consideration is given to the
proper balancing of a ration for other
nutrients, therefore a level of protein
of 14% per cent somewhat lower than
that generally recommended, is highly
satisfactory during the egg production
period and constitutes an important
saving both of feeds difficult to obtain
and of money.
The same experiment demonstrated
that, if a 2% per cent of powdered
buttermilk is used in the ration, soy
bean oil meal can be substituted for
the meat meal and fish meal usually
used with results almost as satisfac-
tory as when such substitution is not
made. In this instance economy is
made because of the lower cost of soy
bean oil meal,
I never fail to be astonished and fas-
cinated by approaching rain. Of
course I don't mean the grey showers
of autumn that come up on a dull day
without any of the showmanship of
Mother Nature, used with such effect
on a hot July day.
It was hot with that stillness
of heat when a steady scorching blast
seems to have paralyzed all living
things. The cows stood in the shade
of the pasture trees and the horses
crowded down at the edge of the
swamp and the pigs plastered with
mud lay in the wallow from the over-
flow at the watering trough, The
chickens strolled lazily in the shady
orchard and the cat with one eye on
the robin in the maple tree was quiet
on the verandah. The curtains hung
straight in front of the screened win-
dows . . .and all men and all things
seemed to be in silent supplication
...waiting for rain,
Suddendly a hot little zephyr danced
down our valley . . .rustling the hot
dry leaves and sending little whirling
eddies of dust along the road. It hop-
ped and skipped and tugged at the
window curtains and spilled the leaves
of an open book on a verandah, table
in merry confusion. It was gone and
'the world seemed the same, and yet we
had had our warning, The hot wor-
ried face of the earth looking up to the
sky with pleading seemed to see
something and reflect it. The sky
darkened and the earth like a grate-
ful child not knowing what to .say
when wishes are granted, was embar-
assed.
There was deathly hushed silence
then . • .and suddenly another zephyr
a bearer of glad tidings came rushing
along. This one had a cool breath
and it lacked the delicacy of our first
visitor. It raised a dust cloud and
rattled the windows in their loose
frames and sent the book sprawling
on the floor and blew the feathers of
the chickens up until they looked, like
miniature peacocks with dull plumage.
It was gone then and while farmers
'pulled barn doors closed and women
took screens out and the chickens
huddled closer together, a few scat-
tered drops of rain came down.
We relaxed and waited and the rain-
drops stopped coming. The flowers
that had momentarily lifted their
drooping heads; relaxed again. The
grass, all ready for a pleasant soaking
seemed duller than ever. Was Mother
Nature fooling us?
Then the brilliant trooked,splotehes
of lightning began dancing along' the
rim of the horizon, Mother Nature
was putting on the grand show. The
sky artillery flashed aid soots the dull
boom of thunder rolled in ear-splitting
crescendos across the land. The dried
up sky was not going to release rain
without a struggle, The earth bright-
ened and man and the Creatures of
the earth stood still to watch with awe
this demonstration of the might of the
unknown,
And then the rain came, immagemoomminimp
