HOT WEATHER’S
HARD ON BROILERS
Good management practices and regular use of Early Bird feeds
make a winning combination for any poultryman, especially during the
difficult summer months.
A WINNING COMBINATION
Hot weather's hard on broilers. At the beginning of summer, feed
intake will often increase to about 18S pounds per 1.000 in the eighth
week. But then feeding levels off and it's this leveling-off process
ihat slows growth and interferes with good conversions.
Here's where the winning combination of good management and
Early Bird deed becomes apparent. NO feed, whatever its merits will
take the place of good hot weather management. But by making sure
your birds are comfortable, and by using Early Bird Rations exclusively,
you can help feeding stay normal during hot weather. Special additives
in Early Bird rations will help stimulate the feed intake during warm
weather when broilers often lose appetite and weight.
Here are some recently recorded performances on Early Bird
Broiler feeds:

18.000
3,500

GOOD? Oi' course it’s good and it shows what can be accomplished
when a grower manages to combine ALL oi the necessary factors
which go into producing GOOD birds at a LOW COST.
These RESULTS show what can

“In fact, falls are respon

Henning added “Farm famil

cousins since much farm
work involves climbing and
working in high places.
“We are in tha most dan

that most farm accidents hap

August. Much of the farm

“Haymaking, even with
our modem methods, is hiz

hay on to a stack or when
placing hay in a barn with
