EFFICIENCY is measured by comparing Production with costs more of a product at less costs. Breeders. Nutritionists and allied industry all help, But, The best bird on the Best Feed in the Best House will not be efficient if poorly managed. The moral: Prevent Waste, Money Waste, Feed Waste, Feed is your greatest cost. Do not allow feed to be wasted by careless . . Help, Birds, Feeders poorly adjusted or too full. The rats, Feed makes a poor litter. Decide what you need, then shop carefully. Three questions: 1. What will this expenditure do to cut production costs and increase output. What do you do with labor and time saved? ' 2. How good is the product and will it hold up. 3. What about price; is it a good buy? Five steps saved a day equal one mile per year. In large families this may not be a problem. If you have hired help, look at work output per dollar spent for labor. Will a machine do better? Can you look after a machine better than a hired man? Would a change in farm help do the job better? Time has value to the producer. Consider time into cost. A poor disease prevention program is expensive. Do (you get to the lab in time to prevent losing some $2.00 pullets? Do not over-medicate get a good diagnosis first. Successful producers tie decisions to cost. It does not pay to spend $14.00 for drugs if it will bring you $7.00 by increased production. Over-invest' ment in birds, feed, equipment or anything else is money lost. In decisions making, the first step A List of true costs Good managers think for themselves. Others cannot make all of your decisions. You may not know hou to formulate a complete ration or pro duce a genetically superior bird. BUT. you can keep track of how differ ent birds do on different rations under different housing and market conditions. You can analyze published records. Get the complete story, not just half of it. Good managers seek information as if it were money because decisions made from this information may depending on whether the decision was good or had.
