Show GERMAN EGG-LAYING TESTS Results Given of Experiments Made to Determine Effect of Various Meat Meals on Poultry. Tests were made a short time since In Germany to determine the effect of lifferent meat meals on poultry. During Dur-ing these experiments it was found that the egg production ceased earlier than with normal hens. Fish meal was more favorable for egg production produc-tion than meat meal. The eggs were f poorer flavor than normal eggs, ind could not be preserved in the usual way. The meat meal increased the intensity in-tensity of the yellow color of the yolk. The fler-.t the birds fed meat meal was normal as regards taste and jdor, though slightly changed in color, melting point and fat, which were higher than normal, but lower than normal with fish meal. When fed cadaver meal the flesh of the fowl had a rancid taste, and whenever fed should be free from fat as possible, tuberculosis beef did not cause tuberculosis tuber-culosis in the hens. |
