Corn Distillers’ Dried Grains with Solubles in Poultry Rations

Dehydrated Alfalfa Meal, Condensed Fish Solubles, Distillers Dried Solubles and Dried Whey as Supplements to an All-Vegetable Protein Turkey Laying Diet

“…These workers also reported that dried whey would not maintain high hatchability. Dickens et al (1941) later reported that distillers dried grains with solubles would not replace dried skim milk, fish meal or meat scraps in the New England Conference laying ration for turkeys as far as hatchability was concerned. Stadelman et al (1950) reported that vitamin D had no effect on egg production but that the absence of vitamin D from the turkey breeder diet resulted in a decrease in hatchability.…”

The Effect of Dehydrated Alfalfa Meal, Dried Brewers Yeast and Condensed Fish Solubles on the Reproductive Performance of Turkeys

“…Earlier reports have indicated that the decline in hatchability can be delayed by supplementing the diet with sources of unidentified factors. Some of the supplements reported to increase hatchability are pork liver meal, desiccated meat meal, fish meal, dried buttermilk, dried skimmilk, meat scraps, dehydrated alfalfa meal, distillers dried solubles, dried whey, and liver "L" (Nestler et al, 1936;Dickens et al, 1941;Atkinson et al, 1951Atkinson et al, , 1953Atkinson et al, , 1955bCouch et al, 1954;and Ferguson et al, 1956). The fat soluble vitamins E and D, as well as pantothenic acid, have been shown to be necessary in the maintenance of hatchability (Stadelman et al, 1950;Jensen et al, 1953;Jensen, 1953;Jensen et al, 1956;Atkinson and Couch, 1954;Atkinson et al, 1955a, b;Scott and Nelson, 1955;Kratzer etal., 1955;and Ferguson et al, 1956).…”

Corn Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles in Rations for High-Producing Hens

“…When fed at a 30 percent level as the only protein supplement, growth was unsatisfactory. 1 Shea et al, 1941;Dickens et al, 1941;Parkhurst et al, 1942, 194S;and Nelson et al, 1944; confirmed and extended the observations of Sloan. In this latter study he concluded that this material could comprise 12 to IS percent of the total crude protein in rations for growing chicks and laying hens.…”
