SW poultry expert Mr E Hadlington states proper development relies on a plant ration with liquid or powder, noting Hawkesbury Agricultural College and the Government pond used long credited rations. He details fasting periods, starter feeding of rolled oats for the first two days and gradual intake thereafter.
A historical ration plan outlines feeding schedules by age. From two days to six weeks, five daily feeds include four moist mash meals and one kibbled grain mix. Weeks six to twelve use four beds daily with three wet mash portions and one mixed grain feed.
The Corriedale is developed to be a true dual purpose sheep, yielding heavy wool fleece and a carcase suited for frozen meat export. Early maturity and self-sufficiency are emphasized, with adaptability to poorer country. Pioneers built on solid lines, and breeders have improved the breed to a sturdy, early maturing animal with a dense fleece.
Commonwealth Parliament approved a 1937 subsidized artificial manure program offering 10 shillings per ton for up to a two hundred ton limit to primary producers who used fertiliser in producing non wheat primary produce in the year to June 30 1938. An identical subsidy is available to approved organisations that supplied fertiliser free of charge for experiments or distress relief. Applications to the Secretary Department of Commerce must be lodged by January 31 1939. Forms for primary producers are available at post offices or from the Department of Commerce Customs House Fremantle.
