BRETT, Rhode Island State College Dept. of Poultry Service._ ----------------------------------------------------------------- ~Feeding Dry Mash~ The most simple and generally satisfactory feeding method is the dry mash system. Feed a certain amount of the scratch mixture--whole and cracked grains--each day and permit the fowls to complete the daily ration by eating dry mash--ground grains--at will. Keep mash before them in open hoppers and let them help themselves. The mash, because of its high protein content, is the real egg-maker. And during recent years there has been a tendency toward restricting the scratch feed and inducing the layers to eat more mash. Results seem to indicate that this plan is best, increasing the yield and reducing feed costs. The laying ration now recommended by the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station is simple and efficient. This ration is made as follows: ~Dry Mash~ lbs. Wheat Bran 100 Wheat Middlings 100 Ground Oats (heavy) 100 Corn Meal 100 ~High-grade Fish Scrap or Meat~ Scrap 100 ~Scratch Grain~ lbs. Cracked Corn 200 Wheat 100 Oats (heavy) 100 Barley 100 The same institution has perfected the following feeding table showing what amount of scratch feed should be given the layers daily each month in the year. This is a most valuable guide, especially to the inexperienced poultryman. When the birds are fed scratch grain, as indicated, they will naturally eat enough mash from the open hoppers to meet their requirements. ~Amount of Grain to Feed Layers Each Month in the Year~
