EFFICIENT FEEDING PRACTICES are necessary to make poultry raising most profitable and to produce the best quality of products.
The feed is the most important cost factor in raising poultry. Therefore the selection of feeds and the method of feeding are very important matters.
In feeding all classes of poultry a proper balance of the various nutrients is necessary, especially proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins.
In this bulletin the relative value of the different nutrients is discussed and methods of feeding chickens for different purposes are outlined.
This bulletin supersedes Farmers' Bulletin 1067, Feeding Hens for Egg Production.
