FARM NEWS Animaramp (Continued from Page 2) and production of edible meat per unit of feed consumed by broiler chickens has now surpassed that of any other of the common domes- tic animals. Recent figures, reports , H. S. Gutteridge. Chief, Poultry Division, Central Experimental Farm, Ot- tawa, indicate that a 32 pound broiler can now be produced under commercial conditions in eight to 10 weeks on as little as 2.6 pounds of feed per pound of live weight. To produce a 200 -pound hog, 3.7 pounds of feed are required per pound of live weight; to finish a 60 -pound lamb to 90 pounds kill- ing weight, four pounds of concen- trate and four pounds of roughage and to fatten a yearling steer from 650 to 900 pounds, 4.0 pounds of concentrate and 7.0 pounds of rougha ge. A more critical test is not the pounds of feed -used per pound of live weight produced, but the pouyds of feed per pound of edible meat produced after all offal and bone have been deducted. Based on the above figures, the feed re- quired per pound of edible meat produced are: chicken, 4.4 pounds; hog, 5.5 pounds; lamb, 9.8 pounds of concentrate and 9.8 pounds of roughage; beef, 9.8 pounds of con- centrate and 17 pounds of rough- age. The closest competitor of the broiler, the bog, is apparently some 20 per cent less efficient in feed utilization than the broiler. Feed conversion efficiency of . broilers is still being improved over the level used for the above calcula- tions and under laboratory condi- tions has, in fact, gone as loow as two pounds per pound of broiler produced, live weight. This ad- vance in efficiency may be consid- ered as an excellent example of the result of the direct appliea'tion of research findings to a large and expending industry. e 14,4 .g�Ina �ahrk`'An yersg ry` Hgnsall Kinsmen v marlsed ' tlte. anniversary of the founding of the Kinsmen Club, at a supper meeting held at 'the Nosy Korner restaur- ant.
