So little does so mucht With Silage Pre-Serv you can harvest, store and-or feed
without special storage systems or handling. By inhibiting heat build-up and the
excessive fermentation and oxidation that comes with it, you reduce spoilage and
shrink. Retain high levels of digestible nutrients and sharply increase
paiatability. As you feed ensiled grains from the silo, you’ll find handling much
easier, with less lumping and bridging. And when you use high moisture grain in
on-farm feed mixing, you’ll like the way it retards heating and spoilage. Better
c010r... increased paiatability... higher nutrient value ... easier handling...
less spoilage and waste... Silage Pre-Serv puts ail of these advantages to work
for you.

total since 1966. Market hogs and pigs, at 50.5 million,
down 1 pet. from a year earlier and the lowest tor the
date since 1969.
And, here are some other totals on market weights
that are worth mulling over:
Those Weighing less tharv6o lbs. total 23.9 million,
down 3 pet. from a year earlier and the lowest for the
date since 1965.
Those weighing 60-119 lbs., at 12.2 million, up 1 pet,
from a year ago.
Those weighing 120-179 lbs., at 7.8 million, down 4
pet. from a year ago and the lowest for the date since
1969.
Those weighing 180-219 lbs., up 3 pet. from a year
earlier.
Those weighing 220 lbs. and more, at 1.7 million, up
31 pet. from a year earlier, 18 pet. above the 1972
total.
EGG. HATCHERY PRODUCTION OFF IN MAY
U.S, egg, hatchery production off during May. Egg
output, at 5.7 billion, was off 1 pet. from a year earlier,
with a 1 pet. increase in production per 100 birds
partially offsetting a 2 pet. decrease (to 284.4 million)
-in layer numbers.
Meanwhile, production of broiler-type chicks, at
295.6 million, was off fractionally from May 1973; and
production of egg-type chicks, at 51.8 million, was off
7 pet. from a year earlier. The poult hatch: Heavy
breeds, 18.7 million, down 9 pet; light breeds, 1.4
million, up 21 pet., but combined poult output, at 20.1
million, down 7 pet. from a year ago.
Despite the May cutbacks, combined production of
both broiler-type chicks and poults for Jan.-May was
still well ahead of their year-ago paces. The broiler
type hatch, at 1.4 billion chicks, was up 3 pet. The
heavy-breed poult hatch at 94.2 million, was up 5 pet;
the light-breed hatch, at 12.5 million, was up 3 pet.;
and the combined poult hatch, at i 06.7 million, was
up 5 pet. from year ago totals. But, the egg-type hatch,
at 224.8 million, was still 7 pet. below its Jan.-May
1973 pace.
LIVESTOCK TRADE UP
U.S. exports of livestock, meat, and meat products
in April hit $144 million - up 24 pet. from a year
earlier. That brought the Jan.-Apnl total to $5BB
million, also up 24 pet. from a year earlier. While
higher unit costs accounted for much of the gain,
volumes were up for lard, tallow and greases, hides
and skins and live animals.
Meanwhile, imports of livestock, meat, and meat
products during April were valued at $169 million,
down 1 pet. from a year earlier. But, the 4-month total,
at- $773 million, was up 22 "pet. from a year earlier.
Again, higher unit values accounted for much of the
increase, though the volume of live hogs and pork
product imports were up sharply as well.
