Good sanitation, insect control, treatment of infec tion and disease, worming and rodent control all have to be carried on continuously for healthy birds and healthy profits. Simply stated, good pullets peak high; poor ones do not The move from the pullet house to the layer house can be in some cases a severe stress and depress that potential. A few chickens saved or lost certainly influences the potential return of the house. Since feed intake is a poor guide for pre-peak layers we must seek a substitute and the best substitute is in house temperature. Feed intake and performance fortification levels - The Purina Laying Chow Bio-Rating gives the relative fortifica tion of amino acid, vitamins and minerals. Bio Layena 100 is the base product.

It is our challenge to start with a quality pullet and do nothing that harms its "performance potential”. But too we must be concerned about not feeding excesses of nutrients that are costly and hurt income potential. .

Each of the above feed intake ranges represent approximately 7% less feed consumption than the previous range. Thus a drop of 7% in feed intake (approximately VA pounds/100 hens/day) is compensated for by an increase of 7% in ration fortification. In this way daily intake of amino acids, vitamins and minerals remain constant. The correct level of fortification' is exactly matched to the hen’s feed intakes. If during stress conditions a more highly fortified ration is desired, just choose the amount of extra fortification by checking the Bio-Rating of each Purina Laying Chow. Always use local judgement on whether tochange the .ration, since feed intakes will vary due to wastage, strain, etc. Failure to reach the highest level of production and totnaintain high levels many times is due to disease. Therefore it is essential that prior to this time the flocks should have received sufficient vaccination properly administered to provide full and complete resistance.

Weekly 51 - Cattle - Com pared with the previous weeks close - Prices on Slaughter Steers and Heifers were 25-50 C lower than at the close of the previous week. Cows were 50-1.50 higher, and Bulls closed firm to 1.00 higher. Four day receipts 17,300 as compared 12,400 previous week and 15,100 a year ago. Fed cattle prices were again forced downward in post- Thanksgiving trading as the wholesale carcass trade failed to offer any ap preciable stimulation through midweek. The decline was enforced on Tuesday with most buying interest on the cautious side. A moderate midweek supply sold at steady prices, however, under a fairly good demand.
