The Insects And Mites Injurious To Poultry In Nebraska And Their Control, M. H. Swenk, F. E. Mussehl

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

There are a number of different kinds of insect and mites (arthropods) that are more or less injurious to poultry in Nebraska. This circular is designed to give practical information concerning these pests and their control.

Nutrient Requirements Of Growing Chicks, F. E. Mussehl

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The object of our experimental work was to establish if possible certain principles of poultry nutrition, permitting later a better combination of natural feedstuffs with the highest growth efficiency.

Turkey Production, F. E. Mussehl

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Whatever problems turkey production presents, lack of demand for roast turkey is not at this time one of them. Turkeys rate so high in popular esteem that very rarely indeed do prices fall below that of dressed chickens and usually the best grades are 12 to 15 cents per pound higher during the holiday season. The world of commerce has become quite complex but the consuming public still has one clear way of speaking to producers. In the language of the dollar we are apparently being asked to raise more turkeys.

Better Rations - More Eggs, F. E. Mussehl

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Well-bred and well-fed hens are conceded to be economical producers of a very wholesome food product, eggs, but our hens are not miracle workers and they insist on the right kind of raw material for building the egg. Nebraska poultry growers fortunately have all the natural feeds - corn, wheat, oats, barley, and dairy and packing house by-products - readily available at lower cash prices than prevail in most other states, and so our special problem is that of combining them so that eggs may be produced at the lowest cost per dozen.

Outline Of Object And Plan Of The Nebraska National Egg Laying Contest, Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

To promote the breeding of high laying strains of standard-bred poultry is the primary purpose of the Nebraska National Egg Laying and Breeding Contest. Data on the cost of egg production and on the problems of poultry breeding will also be secured.
