Abstract

THE domestic poultry-keeper in return for the cancellation of each shell egg registration is entitled to purchase sufficient 'balancer meal' to furnish approximately half the total dry matter requirements to support one laying bird. This specially compounded meal is richer in protein and minerals than would be the case of a ration designed as the sole food for layers, and its composition has been so formulated that when supplemented by appropriate quantities of edible waste, mainly of a carbohydrate nature, from the kitchen and garden, it provides a suitably balanced ration for egg production. During the past three years a considerable amount of experimental evidence has accumulated on the use in poultry rations of surplus or waste products of the garden or allotment.
