Teaching Chickens To Perch, R H. Morris

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

The important managerial practices in the successful raising of healthy birds. Each year, many good chickens have their growth seriously retarded and in some cases are even trampled to death, by being permitted to remain on the floor until they are 10 or 12 weeks of age. Through faulty husbandry, some chickens, especially heavy breeds, never learn to perch and, as laying hens, camp on the ground in preference to perching

Hints On Chicken Rearing, R H. Morris

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

The ultimate profit to be made from poultry farming depends largely on how successfully each year's chickens are reared. A bird can be made or marred during its growing life and many aspects must be considered in rearing chickens successfully, some of the more important of which I will treat very briefly today.

Electric Chick Brooding Studies, F. D. Yung, F. E. Mussehl

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Perhaps one of the most valuable lessons to be learned from a study of chick brooding is that good results can often be obtained in more ways than one. In carrying on work with electric brooders at the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station, special attention has been given to such factors as insulation and to other details of design which effect economy of operation and ease of construction. Low cost rather than "cheapness" has been the ideal. The work has been cooperative between the Agricultural Engineering Department and the Poultry Husbandry Department of the University of Nebraska.

The Utilization Of Food Elements By Growing Chicks. Xiii. The Effect Of Additions Of Dehydrated Alfalfa Meal To High Corn Chick Rations, C. W. Ackerson, R. L. Borchers, F. E. Mussehl

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

Feeding trials were conducted on three groups of chicks in eight lots receiving a growing mash containing dehydrated alfalfa meal at levels of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, and 15 per cent. Comparisons were not made simultaneously but no general trend toward growth depression was evident in comparable lots. In addition duplicate trials of four lots of newly hatched New Hampshire chicks were made on pelleted rations carrying 0, 2, 4, and 6 per cent of a good quality dehydrated alfalfa meal. The chicks were all fed accurately known amounts of the pelleted rations for six weeks. …

Trypsin Inhibitor. Vii. Comparative Nutritive Value Of Raw And Heated Soybean Meal For Poults, C. W. Ackerson, Raymond Borchers, F. E. Mussehl

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

I. The trypsin inhibitor contained in one-half of a lot of soybean meal was destroyed by autoclaving at 15 pounds for 20 minutes. 2. This portion of the meal when fed at a level of 24 per cent to newly hatched poults gave a significantly greater gain in five weeks than did an equal amount of meal in which the inhibitor had not been destroyed. 3. The difference in growth is attributed to the destruction of the trypsin inhibitor.

Life Histories Of North American Nuthatches, Wrens, Thrashers And Their Allies: Order Passeriformes, Arthur Cleveland Bent

Papers in Ornithology

An attempt has been made to give as full a life history as possible of the best-known subspecies of each species and to avoid duplication by writing briefly of the others and giving only the characters of the subspecies, its range, and any -habits peculiar to it. In many cases certain habits, probably common to the species as a whole, have been recorded for only one subspecies. Such habits are mentioned under the subspecies on which the observations were made. The distribution gives the range of the species as a whole, with only rough outlines of the ranges of the …

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The marked improvement in the apparent nutritive value of soybean protein after heating has long been recognized. The fundamental cause of this improvement has never been fully understood. Furthermore, commercial soybean oil meal varies considerably in nutritive value although heat treatment is common in most processing plants. Since heating is generally regarded as deleterious to the nutritive quality of protein, the following investigations of various treatments of soybean oil meal are of particular importance in developing a soybean or soybean oil meal of maximum and uniform nutritive value.

The Utilization Of Food Elements By Growing Poults, C. W. Ackerson, F. E. Mussehl

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

1. Day-old poults were found to contain an average of 1.28 g nitrogen, 0.18 g calcium and 0.15 g phosphorus. 2. Day-old poults were fed equal amounts of a good growing ration for 52 days. Analysis of these poults showed retention of 42.6 per cent of the nitrogen, 23.4 per cent of the calcium and 31.3 per cent of the phosphorus contained in the ration. 3. Retentions of nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus were on the same order as those obtained in like feeding trials with chicks.
