Put it all to
The Babcock B-300V is rapidly reestablishing
herself as the world’s top layer. Egg producers
flocks well into production are reporting
performance they haven’t seen for years ...
from any layer. In many cases, in fact, they are
reporting their best performance ever.
But in this business, potential is only half the
game. Babcock backs its bird with the most pro
fessional, experienced distribution team in the
industry
Consider these features:
PRODUCT
The B-300V rates “excellent” in all key inch
itable performance:
•EGG PRODUCTION - The B-300V peaks h;
for quick recovery of your costs, and early prof
persistency after peak translates to top egg proi
• FEED CONVERSION - The B-300V has api
efficiently convert feed to eggs. From 1966, um
was withdrawn from Random Sample Tests, she
feed converter in the industry.
•LIVABILITY - Field results from all B-300V
rcintroduction in late ’76 indicate she may have
in the business.
* EGGSHELL QUALITY -- Eggshell strength is
1977 B-300V. Between 1972 and 1976, shell strei
has improved by a measured 15% in early lay (3l
(68 weeks).
* RESISTANCE TO STRESS - We call it “manageability”. The B-300V is a calm,
adaptable bird. She resists environmental stresses and recovers rapidly from
management problems.
SERVICE
The Babcock distribution team has developed service programs to provide each
individual grower or egg producer with the optimum product for his specific operation:
* DELIVERY - Careful, on-time and courteous.
•QUALITY PRODUCTS -- Birds are hatched and/or grown with Babcock technical g
assistance. Uniform, healthy chicks and started pullets are vaccinated for your area
challenges, and are correctly and fully-developed for their age. '■&,
•SERVICE - Experienced, professional service is available before, during and after delivery. %
* FLEXIBILITY -- Babcock distributors are equipped to supply the needs of your operation, whatever the size of
your order. Cage or floor grown started pullets are available, depending on the needs of your program.
Talk to a professional about your next replacement flock. The businessmen behind the businessman’s bird have
a performance package tailored to your chick or started pullet program.
