EGG PRODUCERS I
ARE MECHANIZING!
**You can’t do a good job of producing eggs without spend
ing time in the laying house . . . but some jobs just take too
long,” say many Midwest poultrymen. By using bulk feed, me
chanical feeding systems, simplified egg handling methods and
new litter removal ideas in cleaning the house these egg men
can handle more birds and give closer attention to correcting
management problems before they get started.
Nearly every egg producer in the country can afford to switch from bagged
feed to bulk. Not only will it save a lot of back ache but is also cheaper than
feed in bags. Several egg producers have found that bulk feed can save them
up to $25 a year per 100 hens. At that rate it doesn't take long to pay for a
bulk tank. In the installation shown above, the feed is moved by auger into
the laying house where it is dropped into the hopper of a mechanical feeder.
Even If you're feeding by hand, bulk feed has a place in your operation.
An automatic egg collecting belt is being used by the owner of this cage house
to help improve hit labor efficiency. With an egg room at the end of the laying
house you can run the collecting belt right through the egg room wall so the
eggs will be right where you can take over the cleaning operation and get the
eggs into the cooler immediately. Such collecting belts are also being installed
in houses using a regular floor management system.
New way to keep egg
production up
Laying Cycle Management Program
helps you eliminate production-robbing
problems and fight the setbacks they cause
Thilor the program to your own condi
tions .. your own birds ... your own
management tools.
The whole program is keyed to fight
ing egg-robbing stress conditions: Stress
keeps birds from their full production
potential ... it causes egg slumps and
early mortality. It can result in culls
or death.
Every flock is subjected to stress at
some time.
This new program helps you pin
point the stresses in your operation to
learn why-and how- you’re losing eggs.
And it utilizes Terramycin* to help fight
slumps and setbacks following stress.
Tferramycin used continuously at low
levels in the feed helps hens lay more
eggs on less feed per dozen.
Tferramycin at high levels in the feed,
when severe stresses attack, helps fight
stress-caused setbacks from those dis
ease organisms which cause Blue Comb,
CRD and other problems.

how to stress-rate your own flock
Complete details are in the free booklet.
Develop a stress pattern for your flock
and tailor your management program to
get the best production during each per
iod of the laying cycle.
