Ammonia Causes
Poultry Problems
One of the big problems the
North Carolina poultry produ
cer faces during cool weather Is
whether to open the curtains to
his poultry house to let ammo
nia fumes escape or leave the
curtains closed to preserve the
heat.
Ammonia fumes can create
problems during cold weahter In
-poorly ventilated houses, ac
cording to Tom Morris, exten
sion poultry specialist at North
Carolina State University.
Some of these problems are
lower egg quality, respiratory
Infections, eye Inflammation,
less weight gains In broilers
and pullets reduced egg produc
tion and stress among birds.
"Manv producers fael thai
when the &rnmonia concen
tration Increases to the point
that it can be detected by smell
or by the 'burn' of their eyes,
it is also stressing the chic
kens," the specialist remarks.
However, research indicates
that ammonia has its affects
even before it Is detected by
these methods, he adds. "Le
vels of 16 parts per million of
ammonia must be present be
fore it can be detected by smell,
and concentrations of 25 to 36
parts per million are neces
sary to make the eyes burn."
Ammonia presents a bigger
problem for today's grower than
further corr$fLsted Sum to cold
or cool, damp weather.
Morris cites a study coo
ducted at Purdue University that
shows a low level of 6 per cent
ammonia fumes lowered the In
terior egg quality about lOHaugh
Units InM hours. "This points
out the need to gather eggs
more often," he says.
The specialist says hydrated
lime and superphosphate can I s
used to reduce ammonia odors
in the poultry house. "Lime Is
more effective as a deodorizer,
but superphosphate Is more af
fective In preventing nitrogen
losses."
One hundred to 200 pounds of
hydrated lime or suoer
phosphate should be spplled to
each ton of poultry manure.
One to two pounds per 100 hens
or about 16 pounds per 1,000
hens should" be applied dally
over droppings under roost pits,
cages or slats.
For litter In floor houses,
about two to four pounds per
100 hens should be applied each
week to keep down odors and
to help keep the litter drier.
"Never apply hydrated lime
to wet Utter or liquid drop
pings under cages, Morris
Warns. ,
New tobacco Carrie s
Disease Resistance .
I. r
A tobacco breeding line with
resistance to six major plant
diseases has been released by
the Agricultural Experiment
Station at North Carolina State
University and the Agricultural
ttesearcn service 01 tne u. s.
Department of Agriculture.
Dr. Roy L. Loworn, N. C.
State director of agricultural
research, and Dr. H. R. Tho
mas, ARS director of crops re
search, said NC 2514 Is being
made available to commercial
breeders for use In their va
riety development programs.
"We believe this new line will
provide an excellent source of
resistance to some of the most
destructive and costly diseases
of flue-cured tobacco," Dr.
Loworn said.
NC 2514 Incorporates resis
tance to black shank, Granville
wilt fusarium wilt, root knot
and black root rot. It also pos
sesses tolerance to brown spot.
The new line resulted from a
cross that Involved a breeding
line carrying root knot resis
tance ana tne varieties Hicks

Plants of the new line grow
vigorously and develop ex
tensive root systems. The line
Is relatively high yielding and
produces cured leaf that Is

heavier than that normally de
sired In flue-cured varieties.
NC 2514 has good handling
characteristics, Is relatively
easy to cure, and withstands
adverse weather well.
