FEED MAKES EGGS LARGER
Itcding and management of layers and the
care given the nests and oggs aro important
factors in determining maximum profits that
should not he neglected non that feed*costs
are favorable and pullets- are laying larger
eggs.
Exports in Poultry Production toll us that
those factors directly influenco the number
of top grado eggs. The size and number cf
eggs laid is in direct proportion to the
kind and quality of pTotoin in the ration.
Experiments at the University of Idava lave
shown that ogg sizo' can diffor by ar.ueb
as two ounces per dozen through the influ
ence of protein alone. It is not just hat
ing enough protoin in the diet,they claim,
but of having the right kind and quailjy,
I It is generally recommended that a good
: laying mash containing about 20 per cent
protein be used, ' This mash is usually
fed in half and half proportions r:ith grain.
Such a feeding program uill insure ample
, protein for layers and T7ill onablc them to
produco large eggs they tell us„
f
It has been noticod that local eggs have
I been smaller this yoar for a longer period
i of time than a yoar ago. This may be duo
to more pullets in the flocks or—it may
; reflect the food shortage that the Valley
faced during the rocent strike. -It rould
soem quite possible that the substitution
tfff potatoos to stretch out tho feed sup~
plies may be rosponsiblo for this condition.
