Of Broiler Operation
A panel of poultry housing
experts agreed last week that
management practices arc more
important to the success of a
broiler operation than the type
of housing used.
But the panelist, who com
pared windowless and conven
tional housing during a session
of the 31st exposition of the
Northeastern Poultry Producers
Council (NEPPCO), at Harris
burg, added that additional re
finements may one day make the
windowless house a major factor
in broiler production.
Delaware Extension Poultry
Specialist Ray Lloyd moderated
the discussion, which featured
Cleve Hastings, of Miller &
Bushong, Inc., a Pennsylvania
fnm which makes extensive use
of windowless houses, and Rob
ert McClain, of Perdue Foods,
Inc., a Maryland concern which
uses only conventional housing.
Lloyd noted in a post-discus
sion summary that variable cost
factors involved in both housing
construction and broiler produc
tion make it impossible to rec
ommend one type of housing
over the other, except in case?
where extremes of weather fa
vor the windowless coop. In
areas such as Maine, he said,
wmdowless housing has proved
advantageous despite the fact it
is generally more expensive to
construct
Production cost comparisons
piovided by Hastings indicated
there is generally only a mini
mal difference in most cases, al
though continuing research has
produced increasing savings for
windowless coop users in the
past three years
“The day may come when the
addition of such featuies as air
conditioning may make a sub
stantial difference, both in the
construction cost and the pro
duction result, in favor of win
dowless housing,” Hastings said
Lloyd leported that studies
conducted by the Univeisity of
Delaware indicate reduced light
conditions in windowless houses
produce a live bud which may
appear pale and ruffled, but that
there is little or no difference
in the quality of meat pioduced

Chair Shopping Tip
When shopping for straight
