How feed choices change egg production and hatch success in real farm trials. This study compares mash with whole grain and heavy feeding with lighter feeding to show how diet influences both the number of eggs laid and their hatchability.
Through controlled pen experiments and careful recording of feed and outputs, the book presents practical findings from long-running tests. It explains the setup, the feeding methods, and the way hatch outcomes were measured, offering a clear view of how nutrition shapes poultry performance.
Ideal for farmers, extension workers, and students looking for concrete, data-driven insights into poultry feeding and reproduction.

Excerpt from Poultry Experiments: Mash Compared With Whole Grain, and Heavy Feeding Compared With Light Feeding as Affecting the Number of Eggs Laid and Their Hatchability; Beef Scrap, Ground Fresh Meet and Bone, and Milk Albumen as Affecting the Hatchability of Eggs
During the winter Of 1901 and 1902 a comparison was made Of beef scrap, ground fresh meat and bone, and milk albumen as sources of protein for laying hens. This experiment has been described in Bulletin 83 to which reference is made for further details.

The grains fed either alone or in combination for this purpose include corn, wheat, oats, Canada field peas, cow peas, soy beans, peanuts and sunflower seed. The flavoring materials employed were trimethylamine, celery Oil and Oil of sassafras. Beef scrap was fed to balance the different rations except in one case when smoked herrings were used. The green food supplied consisted Of sugar beets, which were readily eaten.
Quite contrary to expectations the flavor Of the eggs was not noticeably altered by any Of the rations or flavoring materials employed, although it has been shown by investigations at the North Carolina Station that the feeding Of onions imparts a very distinct and undesirable flavor.
