The Babcock B-300V is rapidly reestablishing
herself as the world’s top layer. Egg producers with
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 egg
industry.
Consider these features
PRODUCT
The B-300V rates “excellent” in all key indicators of prof
itable performance:
* EGG PRODUCTION -- The B-300V peaks high and early,
for quick recovery of your costs, and early profitability. Her
persistency after peak translates to top egg production.
•FEED CONVERSION - The B-300V has a proven ability to
efficiently convert feed to eggs. From 1966, until 1973 when she
' was withdrawn from Random Sample Tests, she was the top average
feed converter in the industry.
•LIVABILITY -- Field results from all B-300V flocks in production since her
reintroduction in late ’76 indicate she may have far-and-away the best livability
in the business.
• EGGSHELL QUALITY -- Eggshell strength is one of the greatest assets of the
1977 B-300V. Between 1972 and 1976, shell strength of eggs produced by B-300 V’s
has improved by a measured 15% in early lay (36 weeks) and 30.8% in late lay
(68 weeks).
•RESISTANCE TO STRESS -- Wccalht “managcability”.Theß-300Visacalm,
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 arc 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 si:
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 bi
