ADVISES THE FEEDING
OF MILK TO POULTRY
"Buttermilk and skimmilk, either
sweet or sour, are high in those sub
stances which poultry need for growth
and egg production," according to R.
T. Parkhurst, associate professor of
Poultry Husbandry. "These dairy products are easily digested and palatable. In both chicks and layers, there
is an increase in the amount of feed
consumed when the milk is being fed.
It is essential for chick raising and
should be self-fed at all times.
It
makes the chicks grow so fast and
become so strong that they are able
to resist diseases to a much greater
extent than without it.
"The results of the experimental
work at the University Poultry Farm
are in favor of milk as a source of
protein and as an excellent feed for
poultry. Last November an experiment
was started to determine the
value of certain protein feeds for laying hens. There are six pens of
twenty-five birds each fed with the
same grain and basal mash ration
plus a certain amount of different
protein feeds in each pen. The pen
receiving no additional protein has
made the lowest profit in the last
seven months ($31.42). The pen
