Wheatless egg laying ration proves productive at experiment farm
Government poultry specialists report on a wheatless ration that yields strong egg production. Thirty Leghorn pullets gave 147.3 eggs per pullet year using a mixed feed of corn oats and an all mash with beef scrap. Buff Orpington pullets laid 53 eggs in twenty weeks, the best among pens. The study notes wheat is unnecessary if beef scrap is included and shows methods to grow green feed in shaded backyards and sprout oats as supplemental fodder.
