Summary

As the sole protein supplement in corn-type diets for laying hens, meat and bone meal has not allowed for satisfactory performance in studies conducted at South Dakota State University (Poultry 81-6, 82-8, 83-2,84-1). With meat and bone meal as the only protein supplement, feed intake is reduced and poor egg production and feed utilization results. The effects were most marked with 12^ protein diets, even with lysine and methionine made adequate by NRC standards.
