ONIONS FOR POULTRY
GREAT STIMULUS TO LAYING. The onion is generally recognised as a blood-purifying food for humans. Few poultrykeeperse appreciate its value for their laying stock. Mincedup raw onion mixed in the mash at the rate of two pounds per 100 birds per week will keep them in exuberant health and full lay.
A further addition of 2J per cent of salt and a similar amount of ordinary oxide of iron added either to the mash or mixed with the lime grit and charcoal will make a marked difference both in the health and energy of the birds and their disease resistance when kept in confined quarters.
