Breeding Hens Require Vitamins A D and G Says Rutgers Expert
Prof C S Platt of Rutgers outlines the need for vitamins in breeding hen diets. He notes vitamins A D and G are essential for chick health and early growth, with G often missing from common feeds and best supplied by dried yeast liver meal or dried dairy products. For 100 birds, one pound of dried buttermilk or skim milk daily is advised, or three quarters of a pound of high quality dried whey if used. Breeders should limit grain to ensure adequate mash intake and complete nutrition.

Mineral Deficiency in Cattle Feed and Forage Sources
Cattle and calves gnawing fence posts signal mineral deficiency in the ration. Legume hays rich in calcium like cowpea soybean clover and alfalfa help if soil lime levels are adequate. A grain mix with 30 percent wheat bran cottonseed meal and soybean meal provides phosphorus. A free access salt steamed bone meal mineral mix is harmless.
