Abstract
THE feeding value of dried potato products has been investigated at the Agricultural Research Institute of Northern Ireland, chiefly from the point of view of their value as substitutes for maize meal and other cereal products in rations for pigs and poultry. Excellent results have been secured with fattening pigs1,2, in agreement with Woodman's results3. Preliminary experience suggests that such products are satisfactory substitutes for maize meal in the rations of laying pullets kept on good grass runs1.
