Dairy and Poultry: Protein in Poultry Diets Compared
A Minnesota farm bulletin reports experiments at the New York Agricultural College showing animal protein in poultry feed improves growth, health, and efficiency.

Studies with chicks started at six weeks indicate animal nitrogen enhances growth more than fattening.
