Values Of Commonly-Used Protein Supplements In Broiler Rations, D F. Hessels
Values Of Commonly-Used Protein Supplements In Broiler Rations, D F. Hessels
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE performances of broiler flocks in the latter part of 1964 were below standard. Low body weights and a high incidence of gizzard erosion were common on farms.
It was therefore decided to test the biological valuss of the commonly-used protein supplements and also to try to find a correlation between gizzard erosion and any of the protein supplements.

PELLETS are the most profitable feed for broiler chickens—but when they contain about two-thirds cereal, does it pay a country grower to pay freight on pellets when cereals are plentiful in his district?

THE production of poultry meat in W.A. before 1956 was only a side-line for egg producers or small, mixed farmers.
Most of the meat available was made up of culled hens, first cross cockerels and some heavy breed birds.

A broiler trial to compare the performances of three special meat strains and a group of first cross cockerels was conducted at the Poultry Research Station, Wembley, in 1962.
Although there was little difference in profit there are several factors in favour of the special meat strain birds for broiler production.

DURING 1959, trials were conducted at the Poultry Research Station, Herdsman Lake, with the object of developing a broiler-feeding ration that was better than the one at present recommended by the Department of Agriculture and commonly used by local broiler producers.
