Abstract
Commercial poultry rations today are known as complete rations; that is, they contain all the essential ingredients for the bird to perform well, whether it be in growth, feather renewal, egg production, or the production of meat. For the most part, the bird, being closely confined to its quarters, has no other source of food material. Therefore, its nutrients requirements must be gotten from the feed it is given each day.
