§ 60. Captain Sir Ian Fraserasked the Minister of Agriculture whether research is being undertaken by his Department or by others, with a view to providing, from home-grown agricultural products, substitute poultry food such as dried potato meal, ensilage and sugar-beet pulp?
Mr. HudsonThe results of research into the value in poultry feeding of substitute feeding-stuffs, including those named by my hon. and gallant Friend, are recorded in "Growmore" Leaflet No. 14, one of the war-time publications of my Department, of which I am sending him a copy. I may add that poultry nutrition research conducted since the war has been directed mainly to this subject.
§ Sir I. FraserIs my right hon. Friend aware that on the Continent, particularly in Germany, very great success has been attained by this substitute feeding, and will he see whether similar research and results can be obtained here?
Mr. HudsonMy hon. and gallant Friend will find that referred to in the leaflet of which I am sending him a copy.
