Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This compelling guide presents a revolutionary approach to understanding and maximizing poultry production, drawing on the author's half-century of expertise. It unveils a method for evaluating a hen's egg-laying potential, enabling readers to make informed breeding decisions and select the best layers for their flock. The book delves into the fundamental principles of poultry selection, emphasizing capacity, condition, type, and constitutional vigor. The author provides detailed instructions and illustrations to aid readers in assessing these characteristics, empowering them to identify and cultivate high-producing hens. Alongside practical guidance, the book explores the broader context of poultry breeding, tracing the historical segregation of egg and meat breeds. It challenges the notion that egg production and meat quality are mutually exclusive, offering insights into the potential for dual-purpose hens that yield both a substantial number of eggs and a desirable weight gain. The author's insights have been substantiated through extensive testing at government experimental stations and in commercial poultry operations, demonstrating the effectiveness of the selection method. This book is an invaluable resource for poultry enthusiasts, breeders, and farmers seeking to optimize their flocks and increase profitability through a deeper understanding of poultry biology.
