—BREEDING WINGLESS chickens.
The University of Maryland reports
progress in the development of a
strain of chickens without wing
feathers. Advantage of the strain
will be not only that they cannot fly
over into the neighbor's garden but
that they will be easier and cheaper
to dress for market. Strain was de
veloped from a rooster discovered to
be without wing feathers. Work is
continuing to fix the characteristic
and develop it into a pure strain of
meat type chickens.
—MAKING NEW LIQUID nitrogen
fertilizer that can be metered di
rectly into irrigation water but does
not need to be stored under pressure.
In production anhydrous ammonia is
mixed with specially treated water to
become aqua ammonia, a 20 per cent
nitrogen mixture.
—TESTING BULLS in advance to
determine if they are good breeding
risks. Program is being tried in Colo
rado with assistance of Colorado
A&M College. Bulls are taken to
collection stations in state where
trained veterinarians analyze and
evaluate semen and give bulls com
plete physical examinations. Tested
bulls are classified as excellent,
average, poor or unsatisfactory as
breeders.
—MAKING POULTRY feed from
wood waste product from paper
mills. Wisconsin Agricultural Ex
periment Station has developed a
product called torula yeast that con
tains about 45 per cent protein plus
valuable vitamins. The yeast has
been found to be a good substitute
for soybean oil meal in poultry
tions. Salvage of yeast from pulp
waste will also help solve lake and
stream pollution problem.
—DEVELOPING NEW breeds of
chickens to meet conditions of high
altitudes. Wyoming Agricultural Ex
periment Station announces progress
with two such breeds. One is dom
inantly white, of medium weight and
growth rate, lays brown eggs and
lots of them. The other breed is light
red similar to the New Hampshire
and has rapid rate of growth, and
good body conformation for meat
production.
ra
—INCREASING HATCHABILITY
of eggs by feeding hens a mysteri
ous L-factor discovered to exist in
water-soluble liver concentrates and
fish solubles. On the average only
68 of 100 eggs will hatch. When the
L-factor is added to rations of hens
the hatchability of their eggs rises
at least 10 per cent.
—PASTEURIZING PORK. A sim
ple method for preventing trichi
nosis has been developed by Uni
versity of Michigan scientists. They
gamma irradiation of pork. The
process takes just 1% minutes and
induces no radioactivity in the
meat.
—DIAGNOSING DWARFISM by
amining the vertebrae of an animal
by X-ray. Iowa State College
searchers report that carriers of
dwarfism show definite compression
of loin vertebrae when they
X-rayed. Further study is being
made to establish the reliability of
the diagnostic procedure.
