Can a Surall Poultrpran Compete?
H. L. Mathews
Poultry Specialist
in Production and Marketing
Egg production is becoming more eompeti -
t ive and th e ma rg in of prof i t i s sma lt er per
dozen eggs produced. A smalL producer of 5 ,000 layers who cleatrs, grades, and cartons his eggs
and wholesa les to the supermarket s , sma l L gro -
cery stor€s, and cafes and can receive for his
services 5\ cents per dozen above alL expenses
should expect an income of $5 1000 for the
year t s work. He would need to get a year -8 -
round average of 60 percent production and hold
the feed cost down.
For example, if you can reduce . the feed
cost $6 per ton, and alL other things remain
the same, it wouJ.d increase the profit from 5A to 6\ cents per dozen or a yearly difference
from $5 1000 ro $6,000.
suppose you are not satisfied with this
kind of income and you wish to increase your
flock Eo 101000 layers. you would need to
double the amount of house and cage room, but
the cooler and egg cleaning and grading room
and equipment may not need to be increased but
very tittle. The same delivery truck may be
able to handle the increase. If you are mixing
your own feed, your present mixer wilL probably
handle the job. Here is a question that must be
considered: Is the increased market available
f or your egg s and hora much would it increa se
your del ivery travet ? The f amily labor can per
haps take care of the business without any hir -
ed labor, but any increase in flock size may
Iqquire an extra hand. Holrever, with larger
-f}cks ) automatic equiprnent may pay better than
dtra help. Automatic feeders with cages is
more expensive than the use of an electric egg -
gathering and feeding cart. Also, more auto-matic
equipment in the egg cleaning and grading
r oom i s more economica 1 with l arger volume .

What would this increase cost?
You probably have about $3.50 per
bird invested in houses and equip -
ment, and it costs about $Z per ptl-let
to get her into 50 percent pro-duction.
This means you have about
$5 .5 0 per bird invested or a tota 1 of $27 ,5 00 before your income
starts. l"lost poultrymen do not have
this kind of money ava iLable . Welf
