Summary
In previous studies with low-protein (12%) diets for growing pullets, the diets that have supported the best subsequent production and with the least mortality and layer feed have contained some oats. Last year's results showed a 30% oats diet to be just as good in that regard as one containing 80% oats. A 12% protein diet with only corn as the grain component caused the hens to produce at a 2.7% lower rate of production (440 hens per treatment, significant at 0.05).
