What characteristic do you look for in the layer you buy? High production numbers or
efficient feed conversion? Large eggs or low morta'ity?
Why not pick the layer with the balanced performance that means profit for Penn
sylvania egg producers the Babcock B-300V.
In her very first year of testing, Babcock’s B-300V swept the 20th Pennsylvania
Random Sample Test, with the highest lOFCC for both divisions - cage and floor.
Test results below confirm field reports we’ve been receiving on the
B-SOOV’s outstanding performance - top egg production, great livability, competitive
feed conversion, legendary resistance to stress, plus strong, beautiful shells.
