ArnerLcan Egg Board Assesgnents
SeveraL issues ago a report was given regarding the researchers who were awarded
grants by the Anerican Egg Board (gfg) for work related to egg consurytion in regards
to heaLth, partlcularJ.y heart digeages. In additlon to thl.s progranr AEB has also been
spendlng nooey on promtion, which has led to an increase in the consr:nption of eggs ln
many parts of the colmtry. Estlnates are up for the first guarter of L979 ovet L977 and 78.
These programsr- are being carried out for the benefit of the lndustry, but particularly
the producer. Word has just been received that sone producers have not been paying the
five cents on each 30 dozen case of eggs sold. Efforts have begr:n to cont,act those who
are de$.nquent. If you faLl into this category it night be desi.rabLe to take the inLtiative
to become actj-ve ln the progran so that evexTone carries his fair share. TLre program rras
started by an overwheLming vote of the egg producers.
It is a case of a LittLe from everyone helps carry the ball and eventually' the egg
wi1L be exonerated in heart dlseaee. The saal1 ailorJrnt of rnoney used by the egg industry
is peanuts compared wl.th that used to prouote cereaLs.
Fowl Pox
Ttre flrst case of Fowl Pox was seen the last of July. This ueans it is around in
southern New l"texico. You should have your birds vaccinated now so they wiLl be recovered
when fair time comes around in Septenber and October. Surelyr You dontt want them
disqualified.
Last rcnth we reported on
port on large broilers.
In Nova Scotia they have
reported as being the heavies t
Broiler Progress
a large egg from Carlsbad. fhis nonth we are happy to re-grolrn
a broller wei.ghing 6.35 pounds in 49 days. this wae
ia the shottest tlne. Ttrere qrere no other detatls given.
Ttre other report dealt with a flock of 2511 broilers whlch had an average weight of
5.90 lbs. or 2677 go with a feed converslon of 2.085. Ttre feed ltas a standard coumercial
