WEST SALEM, Ohio — The Northwestern FFA chapter’s animal science classes recently conducted an experiment regarding protein in chick feed. This year, there are two animal science classes in which more than 30 members are involved in.
Throughout the course of the experiment, Ben Vaughan was in charge of feeding and caring for the chicks.
For the experiment, the chicks were separated into two groups, and each group was fed chick feed with a different level of protein in them. One group received a finishing feed with 20 percent protein and the other group received a 36 percent protein starter feed.
The chicks were weighed after each week and the results were recorded.
The results showed that the chicks who received the higher percent protein feed had a higher rate of gain than those who were fed with the lower protein feed.
On Dec. 6, Phil Eberly, son of Dan and Becky Eberly, competed in the state job interview contest in Columbus, where he placed sixth in his division consisting of third year FFA members.
