Copyright 1970 by Urner Barry Publications Mortality Decline Ups Egg Supply, UEP Soys The statistical department of United Egg Producers has just completed an analysis which provides evidence of a change in the egg supply problem. Gene Masters, Director of Sta tistical Information for the na tionwide cooperative, has evi dence that the aveiage fowl mortality has been reduced dur ing the past year. The reduced mortality late is adding to the Add to tins the piesent and expected future increases in feed costs and the outlook rs gloomy, Masters sard. The UEP statistical depart ment sees a close con elation between the increased use of the vaccine staiting last spnng and the piesent reduced morta lity level. Masters said the obvious solu tion to the present flock size mcr ease is to continue to follow the “Action Now” program It is pointed out that the 23 per cent reduction in chicks placed in August will help reduce the flock size in early 1971. Another point nr the ‘Action Now” program is to hold place ments to 1969 levels for the rest of the year. Increased place ments during the lest of the year combined with reported m creases which have occuied since August could offset the August hatch reduction, he said Another point in the “Action Now” program which is vital to reducing the piesent build-up in egg flock size is to inciease the rate of slaughter.
