Alfalfa Hay Excellent
Feed for LAYING Hens

Hens are not usually considered as
consumers of roughage, but recent
feeding practices have demonstrated
that good leafy leguminous hay is one
of the important winter feeds for
poultry. Green feed is recognized as
one of the most important parts of
the ration for laying hens. The leaves
of alfalfa or clover hay constitute an
excellent substitute for green feed.
In tests recently conducted at the
Ohio Experiment station alfalfa, clo-
yer and soy bean hay all proved good
substitutes for green feed. 1t is rec
commended that hay be put into a rack
where the birds can pick off the leaves
as they eat them rather than to put
the hay on the floor. When used for
litter, hay will mold more easily than
straw or chaff, which is the product
usually used for litter.

Better breeding. better housing, bet

ping stones to success in poultry
raising.
Corn cribs should be thoroughly
