Summary
Previous studies at this station have shown that low protein, low density grower diets are very economical for producing layer-type pullets and that they do not affect subsequent egg production. Supplemental DL-methionine and L-lysine for 12% protein diets have been of no benefit in improving growth rate of subsequent production. This year's study compared 12% protein diets of corn and oats, alone and in combination, with a 16% protein standard corn-soybean grower diet. Table 1 shows the composition of these diets.
