Protein sources for laying hens in winter feed
The Missouri Agricultural College tests show meat scrap and sour milk as the most economical protein for laying hens, while vegetable proteins alone are not economical. A 25 percent meat scrap dry mash suffices, and 100 pounds of eggs can be produced from 400 pounds of feed with proper ration. Prepared commercial feeds offer consistency when producers cannot grow their own supplies. Eggs will be high this winter.
