EGG PRICES
Egg prices have dropped from their high several months ago - Indications
are that unless there is restraint in the placement of egg type chicks, lov
prices wiLl be experienced again. According to the Egg Marketing Guide for
July-Decernber 1970, there are these recornmendations
. 1. Egg produetion duriRg July-December 1970 shouLd not exeed the same
period in 1969 by more than 2\ Percent.
2. Culling of old hens from thg laying flock be increased sufficiently
to result in a laying flock during July-December 1970 no larger than
1! percent above the same period in 1969.
3. The size of the egg-type replacement hatch during July-December 1970
not exceed a year earlier.
- If these recor,rnnendations are foltowed, a desirable price structure should
be experienced by the egg producers.
A lirutted number of copies of the Egg Marketing Guide for Julv-December 1?70
are available by writing the Extension Poultry Specialist, New Mexico State Uni-versity,
Las Cruces, New Mexico 88001
About this time each year, the weather begins to warm up and with warm
weather we begin to see an increase in flies . It I s important to begin a fl-y
control progt"* earl-y to Prevent a build up. The Polrltrv Insect-gontrol- Ggide,
NM Ext. i"bi. 400J-17, gives sound recomnendations for not only fly control,
but control of other exiernal parasites of poultry. I'lanure, when not handLed
properly, is responsible for the fly population in many cases. Thus' ProPer
nanure disposal is desirable.
There $ere a ngmber of reports dealing with possible uses of poultry manure
at the Annual Poultry Science meeting last falL. In San Diego County, chi.cken
manure was found to be as effective as equl.valent rates of inorganic fertiLizex.
Forage yieLds were increased for a period of three years after fertilization.
Season Lf application did not affect efficiency. Forage quality was improved
by fertili-zatLon. Each ton of dry chicken manure produced about 1600 pounds of
"iditior,"l dry forage. Colorado State tests shorled that the activity of im-mature
house fl-ies reducgd poultry rnanure to a more stable product. The larvae
