Feeders of hogs, chicken broilers and turkgys derive the greatest feeding advantages from pelleted rations. With broilers and turkeys, the purpose is to enable the birds to eat more. With hogs there are big advantages . . . improved feeding efficiency (about 10%), and improved rates of gain (7-8%). The explanation is that the pelleted rations provide increased digestible energy, increased availability of other nutrients, and reduced feed wastage through the virtual elimination classes of notably laying hens and cattle, the advantages are largely in handling. Bin flow is made easier and segrega- .tion of ingredients is reduced. Maybe it's time you switched to SHUR-GAIN PELLETED RATIONS? Wallace Marlow Co. Ltd.
