EM 7-1341 Poultry Breeders Conference Draws 50 Poultnmen t 1 ’ The 12th annual Poultry Breed ers Conference at Pennsylvania State University June 18 was at tended by 50 poultrymen and educators. Max M Brender, prominent bleeder from Ferndale, N Y, discussed the probable future for poultry breeding Brender said mortality will be “licked” in fu ture flocks. He claimed most hens will live a full life spon of IV2 to two years Egg laying averages for flocks will be 300 eggs and over, he predicted “The egg size of the future will begin close to large eggs and re main large through the laying life of the birds,” Brender stated. ‘ Under good management and nu tntion practices, fertility and hatchabihty will ' approach 100 per cent The efficient, economi cal feed converter of the future will weigh somewhere around 4 to 4Va pounds at maturity,” he added TOMORROW’S FRESHLY-laid egg will be high AA, it was point ed out Quality eggs will be free of blood and meat spots and will be encased in smooth, hard shells. Nutrition will play an important part, and will also provide a uni form-colored egg yolk Brender claimed chick mortal ity m the brooder can be eliminat ed His company had only 186 losses out of 7,148 chicks hatched in tests-an average of 2 6 per cent mortality Nineteen out of 65 sires tested had less than one per cent chick mortality Five of the sires had no chick mortality “The .10b is to eliminate fami lies which produce high adult mortality,” Brender continued “We must discover and work with those families which gave little or no losses Where there is one sire whose daughters will live 100 pu cent, eventually we can reach 100 per cent ‘liveability’ for all pullets housed.” THE PROMINENT poultry breeder said he already has a strain of Holland ducks, called “Khaki Campbells,” which lay big ger eggs than Leghorn hens, at a i ate oi nearly one egg a day For a new experience... drive the all-new MASSEY-FERGUSON Rg The first 4-plow Tractor with the Ferguson System Ph.

The main sta tion for a shuttle bus line to wagon trains is located on the edge of the exhibit area LARGE PARKING LOTS and (he Hershey Stadium border the commercial exhibit area. The These ducks weigh about four pounds “The Egg Layer of the Future will be a cross between a number of pure strains,” he claimed. “This hen will be a healthy, vigorous stram-crpss-hybnd. She will be as uniform as if machine produc ed Her desirable genes will com plement one another and her bad genes will be bred out, or subdu ed The strain cross-hybrid 15 here to stay unless a ‘mutation’ or ‘sport’ pops up to out-perform the h\bnd,” he predicted.
