MILK AIDS EGG PRODUCTION
Value as Part OF Poultry Ration strik.
inoly Demonstrated at Purdue
University.

That milk has a value MS a part OF
the poultry ration was ~strikingly dem
onstrated by the results obtained on
n Of the poultry demonstration farms
which are established and conducted
by Purdue university.
One farmer who had been feeding
milk to his flock discontinued doing
so with the arrival Of the summer
months thinking that the fowls would
pick up enough insects to make up for
the food value that was furnished by
the milk. Almost Immediately, how.
ever, his daily egg production began
falling of until. in n month, 1t had
dropped or to one-half what II had
been for the month previous. When
milk was again made n part Of the
ration, the daily egg production grad
ually increased. AS n result OF the
milk fed. the production the following
month wns as good as In the spring
months and the extra profit made
more than paid for the milk fed.
