What Should be the Attitude of Experiment Stations Toward Mixed Feeds?

Illinois Experiment Station

Abstract

The growing importance of the mixed feed industry forcibly presents this question to the Experiment Stations. Farmers are asking it, county advisers are asking it and the feed manufacturers themselves are asking it. As customary with Experiment Station workers, we usually give an answer. We condemn, recommend or dodge the issue. In many instances we probably answer the question without giving it much thought or consideration.

It is not the object of this paper to answer this question but rather to bring it formally before the Society and to present some facts pertinent to the question in the hope that some definite policy may be adopted.

Judging from the rapid development of the mixed feed industry, these products must have certain advantages. The attitude of some of our agricultural college and experiment station men, would indicate that mixed feeds must have some disadvantages. We shall now attempt to discuss some of their merits and also their demerits.
