Summary
Numerous studies, including several at this station, have shown that layer-type pullets can utilize diets as low as 10 or 12/i protein during the growing stage without affecting their subsequent reproductive performance. Past grower studies had been conducted using floor pens with corn-cob litter. A cage growing system was installed in the brooder building during the past year. Since commercial growing of layer-type pullets in cages is now becoming quite common, it was felt that the low protein diets should be tested under these conditions.
