Show i Ground Alfalfa Good for Hatchable Eggs Green feed and direct sunlight or cod liver oil are both necessary to produce pro-duce u maximum percentage of hatch-able hatch-able eggs, according to recent tests ut the Ohio experiment station. Direct sunlight or the feeding of cod liver oil has little' benefit unless a green feed is available at the same time and, according ac-cording to D. C. Kennifrd, in charge of poultry investigations, a high quality qual-ity alfalfa meal used as a part of the mash makes a very satisfactory solution solu-tion of the green feed problem. He also finds that milk in some form serves very effectively as a partial substitute for green feed, and for this reason makes an important part of the ration for layers kept in confinement. |
