Meat Scrap Helps Egg Production in Hen Rations
Meat scrap is essential to egg production in laying hens. A ration containing about 12 percent meat scrap from meat byproducts shows improved efficiency, with tests indicating better feed use. A grain mix of corn three parts, wheat one part, and a dry mash of ground oats two parts, bran one part, and meat scrap two parts performed well as the diet for both heavy and light poultry breeds. The fowls consumed twice as much grain as mash.

Cloth Covers Shield Plants From Mild Frosts
The United States Department of Agriculture reports that cloth coverings protect low growing plants from frost by blocking heat loss. A fabric layer reduces radiation and slows surface cooling, while trapped air beneath remains a poor conductor. Placing coverings before evening frost maximizes protection and use of stored daytime heat in the soil.

Most Effective Ration to Increase Eye Yield
The Olio experiment station found the best ration for hens and pullets combines mash ground corn parts bran meat scrap 6 parts by weight with a scratch ration of shelled or cracked corn so fowls eat twice as much grain as other feed. This reduced feed cost per dozen eggs by over 20 percent and increased production per pullet by more than 50 percent. Tests aimed to determine meat scrap bearing rations that showed this effect.
