Show Products Help In Conserving Grain Better Rations Result When Proteins Are Used With a world grain emergency and a national drive to conserve grain used in feeding, and with grain prices high, milk by-products are more important than ever in poultry poul-try feeding. Balanced rations probably can do more to conserve grain used in feeding feed-ing than any other single measure. Milk nutrients found in skim milk, buttermilk and dried cheese whey have been found highly effective in building balanced poultry rations. These milk by-products provide animal proteins of unusual quality. The milk proteins, lactalbumen and Total Dry Milk Production 1946 A-l Nonftl Dty MI& Solid. H-...

These proteins give balance to the lower quality vegetable vegeta-ble protein in grains normally fed poultry. Milk by-products are rich in lactose, lac-tose, or milk sugar, a natural laxative laxa-tive which helps poultry maintain good intestinal health and minimizes the hazards of intestinal parasites. These milk by-products also provide pro-vide minerals, particularly calcium and phosphorous and 'contain the water soluble vitamins of whole milk. In preparing a balanced ration the object is to feed the correct proportion of the various nutrients that poultry require. In every case there is a point beyond which it is wasteful to include additional grain without providing other nutrients nutri-ents because the fowl cannot make complete economical use of all nourishment nour-ishment in additional grain. |
