Extract

An account is given of experimental work on the feeding of uncooked and cooked potatoes and sugar beet to laying stock. The available literature on the use of these foods for poultry is reviewed and an explanation is offered for the poor results which have generally followed the use of raw potatoes.

A description is given of an experiment in which there were two control groups fed on mash, two groups on 3 oz. mash and 8 oz. potatoes daily, uncooked for one group and steamed for the other, and two groups on 3 oz. mash and 8 oz. sugar beet daily, uncooked in one case and steamed in the other.
