Experiments with Animal Protein to Laying Fowls.

Abstract

Experiments in feeding poultry were inaugurated at Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station in 1910 and the work with Leghorns for the years 1910–1914 was published in Bulletin No. 182, and for the years 1915–1918 in Bulletin No. 227. The work with White Plymouth Rocks for the years 1915–1917 was published in Bulletin No. 218.

All of this work has been with different sources of animal protein to find their feeding values. During the past two or three years two experiments have been carried on, one with Leghorns and one with Plymouth Rocks from which the following data are the results.

Feeding Values of Buttermilk and Dried Buttermilk for Leghorns

The object of the experiment was to determine the feeding value of commercial dried buttermilk as compared with liquid buttermilk. It was run in duplicate during the years 1918–1919 and 1919–1920. The stock consisted of Single . . .
