Poultry Foods. 



The number of poultry foods on the market has increased 

 considerably since our last bulletin, especially the grain 

 mixtures. The analyses of the cereal foods compare wtll 

 with the guarantees in almost every case. The animal 

 products, as a class, vary considerably from their stated 

 composition, some being much in excess of the guarantees, 

 while others are deficient. 



Five brands of animal meal and beef scraps were 5 per 

 cent, or more low in protein, although in some of these in- 

 stances there was a large excess of fat to offset the deficit. 



It would be well for the practical poultry man to com- 

 pare the prices of the cereal poultry foods with the prices 

 of standard grains and by-products. Nearly every poultry 

 food is higher in price than linseed meal, which is always at 

 the top of the list of standard cattle foods, while if the 

 analyses are compared, some of the poultry foods will be 

 found to belong in the same class with the medium-priced 

 dairy mixtures.
