Is Beneficial Research workers have found that insoluble grit improved feed conversion, growth, and egg pro­ duction when fed to chickens re­ ceiving a mash and scratch ra­ tions as compared to birds re­ ceiving calcium grit, and no grit, says County Extension Agent Don Coin Walrod. They have fed in- I soluble grit and calcium grit compared to no grit in the rations of chickens and turkeys. The chief function of the giz­ zard is to grind food. Grit aids 'the gizzard in this function by providing hard surfaces between which the particles of feed may be crushed Grit remains in the gizzard until it has been reduced to such a size that it no longer can assist in the grinding process. Neither calcium grit nor crush­ ed oyster shells seem suitable to the dual purpose of supplying calcium and hard grit, as evi­ denced by their ability to im­ prove growth, feed conversion, or egg production. Chickens may over-eat calcium grit in an effort to get enough hard grit in the gizzard. Most authorities agree that when a mash and scratch system is used there is a definite advan­ tage in using insoluble grit. How­ ever, when all-mash systems are used, grit is less important. Many times the added advantages of using grit for all mash rations doesn’t warrant the added ex­ pense of the grit. However, says Walrod. it would seem that in order to get the best growth, feed conversion, and egg production, poultrymtn should supply grit to their chickens from the time they are a week old, whether they are receiving an all-mash diet or a mash scratch ration. were from Oregon.
