CLEANF npip! ^H^IPB^pV BJ B* The National Poultry Improvement Plan became operative July 1, 1935, and the National Turkey Improvement Plan became operative September 25, 1943, with the approval of the Secretary of Agriculture. On December 3, 1971, the two Plans were combined under one title, "The National Poultry Improvement Plan," with separate provisions applicable to the different types of poultry. The Plan operates under the authority of an appropriation made by Congress to the United States Department of Agriculture to be used in cooperation with the State authorities in the administration of regulations for the improvement of poultry, poultry products, and hatcheries. Authority for the administration of the Plan is now contained in the Department of Agriculture Organic Act of 1944, as amended (7 U.S.C. 429). Provisions of the Plan are changed from time to time to conform with the development of the industry and with new information as it becomes available. These changes are based on recommendations made at the Biennial National Plan Conferences by official delegates representing participating breeders, hatcheries, and flockowners from all cooperating States. Current provisions of the Plan are described in a publication entitled "The National Poultry Improvement Plan and Auxiliary Provisions." The publication is available from Official State Agencies or on request to the National Poultry Improvement Plan, APHIS-VS, Building 265, BARC- East, Beltsville, Maryland 20705.

Kraków, Poland ♦Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The aim of the study was to determine the effect of caponizing on body weight and physicochemi- cal properties of meat of the capons – hybrids obtained from the crossing of hens of the Yellowleg Partridge (Ż-33) breed with meat roosters. The study covered 80 hybrid roosters, which were randomly assigned to two groups of 40 animals each (8 boxes of 10 birds in each group). Group I (control) consisted of uncastrated roosters while group II included birds, which were castrated at 8 weeks of age under local anaesthesia by a vet. Birds were fed ad libitum with the same standard diets and kept on litter under optimal environmental conditions with a stocking density of 7 ani- mals/m2. At the end of fattening, i.e. in the 20th week of life, 8 birds with a body weight close to the group average were selected from each group for slaughter. After slaughter, the effectiveness of the procedure was checked (lack of testicles), then the slaughter performance of birds, physicochemi- cal parameters of the pectoral and leg muscles were determined, and sensory evaluation was per- formed. The procedure of castration of hybrid roosters had a positive effect on body weight, feed conversion ratio and carcass traits.

The wide range of subject matter has made it necessary to present much of the material in a condensed form, and reference should be made to various departmental leaflets for an elaboration of many of the points mentioned in this article.

Harper Adam Agricultural College, Updated: November, 2016 Newport, Shropshire (Now Harper Adams University) 1 SEX – LINKAGE AND AUTOSEXING IN WATERFOWL It is only fair to state that the need for early sex determination, through sex linked crosses in waterfowl, is much less than in other classes of poultry. This is because it is easier to vent sex the day-olds of these species with very little training. Moreover, crossbreeding is rarely an option for exhibition and ornamental breeders. The exception is in commercial table duckling production where unfortunately since only white breeds are used, sex-linkage cannot be exploited. There may be some, however, who feel unable to attempt vent sexing, particularly with goslings which are more difficult to manipulate and more vulnerable to rough handling. Others may be interested in sex-linked inheritance for its own sake regardless of any practical advantage. THE PRINCIPLES OF SEX – LINKAGE Without going into too much technical detail I would like to explain the principles underlying sex-linkage. For a more detailed account of these principles the reader is referred to the excellent bulletin by Chris Hann (1966).

  • Prisoned Chickens, Poisoned Eggs
    PRISONED CHICKENS, POISONED EGGS An Inside Look at the Modern Poultry Industry First published 1996. Revised Edition 2009 Book Publishing Company By Karen Davis, PhD Karen Davis, PhD, President United Poultry Concerns PO Box 150 Machipongo, VA 23405 (757) 678-7875 [email protected] 2 Table of Contents Preface to the New Edition Prologue Introduction Chapter 1 History Chapter 2 The Birth and Family Life of Chickens Chapter 3 The Life of the Battery Hen Chapter 4 The Life of the Broiler Chicken Chapter 5 The Death Chapter 6 A New Beginning References Index 3 Preface to the New Edition I wrote Prisoned Chickens, Poisoned Eggs in the mid-1990s in order to bring attention to the billions of chickens buried alive on factory farms. At the time, neither the animal rights movement nor the public at large knew very much about chickens or about how the poultry industry originated and developed in twentieth-century America to become the model for industrialized farmed-animal production around the world. Some informative articles and book chapters had appeared, but the poultry industry’s own detailed and glowing account of its transformation of the chicken, from an active outdoor bird scouring the woods and fields to a sedentary indoor meat and egg “machine,” filled with suffering, diseases, and antibiotics, remained largely unknown. The purpose of Prisoned Chickens, Poisoned Eggs was to bring this story to light in a way that would reveal the tragedy of chickens through the lens of the industry that created their tragedy without pity or guilt. The book became, as I’d hoped it would, a blueprint for people seeking a coherent picture of the U.S.
