Cleaning and Deep Litter Tips for Laying Poultry
Iowa State College expert Robert McVicker advises moving pullets to the laying house as soon as they begin laying to avoid a melting stage. He recommends thorough cleaning and disinfection of the laying house, plus a deep litter program using chopped straw or crushed corncobs to save labor. Install litter before Sept 15, with 6 inches depth in insulated houses and 8 inches in uninsulated ones, and maintain by stirring and occasional replenishment into next summer.

Chop Green Corn For Heavy Cattle
Chopped green corn is used on Iowa farms to start heavy cattle on feed providing large forage per acre. Start at early dent stage to avoid washiness. Begin with 10 to 15 pounds per head daily, then full intake in a week. Add protein supplement and adjust when in drylot. Feed hay and adjust rations as corn matures. A prior note suggests oats and protein before breeding if no green pasture.
