Excerpt from Fattening PoultryAn Opportunity for Obtaining extensive and accurate data of the results secured in fattening poultry under commercial conditions in poultry-packing houses, which came up during the feeding season of 1910, was gladly made use of by the author, with the hope Of throw ing some light upon the cost of fattening poultry commercially, and also to show the relative gains which one can expect to secure with the different grades of poultry. Through the courtesy of two com panics Operating large poultry-packing houses in the Middle West it was possible to compare the results secured at different feeding stations and to study the efficiency of various methods, as well as the feeding value of different rations. The author is especially indebted to these poultry packers, who extended every possible courtesy to him and gave him free access to all the details Of that part of their business in which he was interested.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
