Summary

An experiment using eight pens each of twenty-five pullets was conducted to investigate the suitability of sesame cake meal as a protein concentrate for laying pullets. In meal mixtures supplying equal amounts of crude protein, sesame cake meal gave slightly lower production than fish meal and earthnut cake meal, but the differences were of doubtful statistical significance. Body weights appeared to be maintained less well on sesame cake meal, but only by an unimportant amount.

The authors thank Prof. R. G. Baskett for his advice and constructive criticism, and Miss M. E. Osborne for the care and attention devoted to the management of the pullets.
