Promotion of Eggs as Commodity Is Urged
“An egg is an egg is an egg is
an egg,” says Alexander Gor
deuk, poultry specialist and
author of the Matrix of
Marketing, “and we must accept
this fact, for an egg is a com
modity and must be promoted as
a commodity.”
Gorduek, addressing an
audience gathered for the Nor
theastern Poultry Producers
Council (NEPPCO) 40th an
niversary convention recently,
said once eggs have been ac
cepted as a commodity the
proper job of promoting them can
be done on behalf of the entire
industry.
Poultry Manure Described as Potential Asset
An egg producer may have to an outstanding expert m the field
be born optimist to find “ad- of animal waste utilization calls

growing corn, has value as a
dried fertilizer and (could serve
in the U S ) as a very good feed
additive for ruminant animals,”
says Charles E. Ostrander, an
associate professor in poultry
science at Cornell University.
Ostrander, who has become a
virtual specialist in finding
solutions to the waste disposal
problem, shared the platform
with a dozen other poultry in
dustry experts at the 40th an
niversary exposition of the
Northeastern Poultry Producers
Council (NEPPCO) at the
Concord Hotel recently
“The northeast is a very deficit
corn producing area,” Ostrander
told his audience There are
many examples where no
commercial fertilizer is used,
except for a starter, where over
100 bushels per acre of corn is
produced It would require about
seven tons per acre to supply the
requirements for a 100-bushel per
acre corn crop
“For the most efficient use,
this material should be plowed
under or soil-injected im
mediately. Nitrogent losses may
be great if exposed to the at
mosphere for long periods of
time
“As a rule of thumb,” he ad
ded, “it has been suggested that
it is not advisable to apply more
than 20 tons of “neat” material
per acre ”
Ostrander outlined the ad
vantages of drying the manure
for use as a fertilizer Drying
reduces the volume and alsothe
odor of the final product, he
noted. Reducing the moisture
content to 60 per cent drops the
weight by one-half, he said.
“Air-drying can be ac
complished in several ways,” he
reported. “In the south and
southwest air-drying can be
accomplished in open houses by
coning. By keeping bird con
centration down, no water
overflow and good air cir
culation, good coning takes place
most of the year.
“Drop boards in a modified
stair-step operation provide
considerable drying. Circulation
of air in deep pits accomplishes
considerable drying.”
With the use of dehydrators, he
said cost varies but generally
ranges between $2O and $3O per
ton of dried material. He added
that odors from dehydration
continue to be a problem but that
“with good afterburners odors
can be reduced. But this raises
the cost unless one can recycle
this heat,”
Ostrander admitted that -
“marketing needs much
development. At present the only
market is for fertilizer.”
“Should FDA ease up on its
regulations to allow this very
valuable product to be in
corporated as a feed ingredient
(for ruminants), as it is in
England, hundreded of thousands
of tons could well be used.”
