Tully Poultry Building, South Dakota State College Poultry Department Agricultural Experiment Station South Dakota State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts Brookings, South Dakota Wheat and Wheat By-Products for Laying Hens Wheat is the second largest grain crop in South Dakota and is grown extensively in many parts of the state. It has long been recognized as being second only to yellow corn as an individual grain for poultry. Wheat bran and middlings have for many years been a recognized part of starting, growing, and laying mashes for chick and poultry feeding but definite experimental work on their actual individual values seems to be lacking.
