Air Circulation And Humidity Important To Save Chickens During summer months poul try producers can expect a re- 1 duction in feed efficiency and 1 actual productivity of both broiler and laying flocks. Dr. James R. Harris, extension vet erinarian at N. C. State College, says these losses result from de ceased feed consumption and the utilization of energy as the birds try to lose body heat. “If the bird is not able to keep its body temperature with- 1 in certain limits, mortality oc curs,” Dr. Harris said. Pro longed exposure to temperatures of 110-120 degrees will produce mortality. Dr. Harris says the chicken is not able to maintain its normal body temperature of 106 de grees if the environmental tem perature is above 85 degrees. When temperatures reach this! level the body temperature of chickens will rise as the room | temperature rises. Under experimental conditions ! at the University of Delaware, i scientists showed that a mortal-1 ity rate of 70-80 per cent oc- i curred within two days when i seven-week-old caged broilers j IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our dear i wife and mother, Mrs. Maggie! H. West, who departed this life ! one year ago this month, August i 4, 1960: I When the evening shadows are i i falling And we are sitting alone. Into our hearts comes a longing, ! If only you could come home. We wonder why you had to go And leave us here to weep, For many silent tears we shed While others are asleep. We saw you fading like a flower, ; But could not make you stay, i We cared for you with loving | kindness, Still the master took you away. * God saw you were getting i weaker, The hill was hard to climb, He gently closed your loving eyes, And whispered, “Peace be thine.” Sadly missed by Husband, Children p and Grandchildren FOR Contract ; AND Repair Work CALL Twiddy Insurance & Real Estate, Inc.
