And many of them particularly mallard ducks are not timid about where they place their nests. They’ll crawl under chicken houses and other outbuildings, often a surprising distance from water, to hide their caches of hatching eggs. No one knows exactly why Mother Nature arranged for ducks, other web-footed birds, and various seabirds to be some of nature’s main'carriers of avian influenza viruses. But we do know they are. They may not exhibit symptoms of the infection; but their infected droppings can carry high numbers of influenza viruses, which can under optimal con ditions wreak havoc on chickens, turkeys and game birds. So producers should keep two major points in mind, says Edward T. Mallinson, Extension poultry veterinarian at the University of Maryland in College Park. 1. Discourage wild waterfowl from nesting under or near poultry houses. 2. Keep all web-footed birds away from chickens, turkeys and game birds; even domestic waterfowl can be carriers of avian EAR CORN Paying Top Prices For Good Quality Ear Corn • Wet or Dry • No Quantity too large or too small • Fast Unloading- Dump on Pile & Go • Easy access -2.2 miles off 283 bypass- Manheim, Mt.

The Gold Trophy-Plus award honors Gold Trophy sires and dams for their daughters’ achievements in cow calf classes at APHA Standard of Perfection (SOP) Shows and the annual National Polled Hereford Show.

David VanHoose, fund drive chairman, unveiled the plaque announcing the new record of $348,693. This year’s goal was $330,000, which was the highest ever set in the association’s 39- influenza. Dr. Mallinson theorizes that seabirds and waterfowl (web footed birds) have reached a state of accommodation or compromise with avaian influenza viruses over many generations. For reasons not fully known perhaps different basic habitats or genetics other kinds of birds, such as chickens, turkeys and game birds have not reached the same level or type of accommodation. As a preventive measure against avian influenza, national and in females qualified for the Gold Trophy Award during the 1985-86 show season, based on the showring performances of their progeny this year and in recent years. To earn the Gold Trophy title, a bull must accumulate 100 points, based on the performance of his calves at SOP shows. A cow must earn 35 points through her off spring’s showring winnings to win year history. An annual highlight of the event is the recognition of outstanding poultry and hatching egg producers. Those honored from the three states comprising Delmarva were: Delaware- Palmyr & Eleanor temational veterinary specialists alike are admonishing farmers these days to practice segregation in their poultry activities. Keep web-footed birds away from those that aren’t web-footed. Even better, make a choice on one type or the other. You’ll probably be better off to specialize in one kind of fowl in order to develop a quality product. The alternative is dealing with a menagerie and its inherent risks of hidden and obvious health problems.
