Overseas Shipping
Tests On Poultry
COst it tidied by U. S. -eas shipments in Min ont.iin-
[).u I in eut
in.ii Ketint; researchers last'
•week when 30,01)0 pounds ot
fiozen poultr> was shipped
from the United States to
Europe.
Marketing researchers of
USDA's Agricultural Research
Service and Foreign Agricul
tural Service studied the
poultry during all phases of
the shipment, which left Port
Elizabeth, XJ . on Saturday,
April 23, and docked at
Bremen, Germany, on May 5,
after first stopping at Rotter
dam, Holland. The Institute
of American Poultry Indus
tries, Chicago, 111 , cooperated
in the study.
'Rockingham Poultry Mar
keting Cooperative, Broad
way, Va , prepared about 32,-
000 pounds of chicken backs
and necks, 1,000 pounds of
cut up chicken parts, 500
pounds of whole broilers, and
I.'OOO pounds of whote tur
keys, all frozen, for the ex
perimental shipment.
The poultry was placed m
a 35-foot van container at
Broadway and trucked to the
Sea-iiand Service’s marine
container terminal at Port
Elizabeth, where the van was
removed from its wheeled
chassis and loaded aboard
shop. The van container can
be handled and stacked like
a large box. It has a self
contained refngei ation system
that is powered by a propane
electric motor during highway
transport and by the ship’s
electric system during ocean
transport. At Bremen, the van
Was lifted off the ship and
placed on another wheeled
chassis for inland delivery to
Hamburg, Germany.
Individual poultry packages
were not handled from the
time they left Virginia until
they reached the customer’s
warehouse in Germany. Re
searchers reported from Ham
burg that satisfactory tem
perature control was main
tained throughout the trip,
■with, poultry and containers
arriving in good condition.
ARS researchers are study
ing costs and potential sav
ings that might be obtained
by transporting agricultural
products in van containers
These tests may show whether
the vans afford greater pro
tection to poultry than do
other shipiping methods, both
against adverse temperatures
and rough handling. Also, pil
ferage, time, labor, and other
cost factors are being studied
in comparison with conven
tional modes of shipment that
involve rehandling individual
packages many times.
