SULFA DRUG FOR POULTRY
Many poultrymen know what it is to have
all their young, pullet's-wip$d out with
cocc.idiosis. There have be eh infected
flocks in the Valley, and once in a flock
it is very .hard to eradicate. However,
science is always making new discoveries.
Af t er-’exhau;s't ive tests and clinical trials
in animals dnd poultry with thousands of
sulfa drugs, the Lederle Laboratories have
announced that SOLMET, brand Sulfametha
zine has been proven effective in the
treatment of acute bacterial diseases in
poultry. It has been found of value in
checking immediate mortality in fowl chol
era and for the'control of cocel cocoidia
sis in chickens.
Advantages of this drug are that it re
mains active^longer in the blood stream;
it requires but one dose d day and may be
administered by injection, nixed'with feed
or administered orally. However, in the
treatment of poultry diseases, Lederle
veterinarians recommend SDU.ET be Adminis
tered by mixing with feed.
And from our own Warehouse we have this
information for Poultry raisers in the
Valley. Darrell. Frank announces that he
has in stock "Sulfa Kash'h fbr use in feed
ing chickens that show signs of Coccidi
osis.’ He'advises the farmers in the Val
ley to invest in-this mash at the first
signs of disease. It may save your flock
if used, in time, and should check any
great loss to the producer.
EGG CONSUMPTION HIGH
Most Government economists together v/i th
visiting egg trade members at Washington
D.C. are expressing amazement over the
high rate at which eggs are being consumed.
It idsattributed to some extent to th e
return of many GIs'to civilian life during
the past 12 months. But, even at that,it
shows a strong somsumption and indicates
that production and consumption are not
too far out of balance*
Retail sales during this year are breaking
all records. More than one store .executive
has stated that sales have been running
25$'ahead of last year. Since last Octo
ber, consumers have been on an egg eating
spree that has brought concumption up to
an annual rate of 400 eggs per person—so
say government economists at Washington.
It seems that they are afraid that produc
tion will not be able to keep up with this
rate. Figures available in April from the
Federal Market News Service show what is
happening:
Egg Production Market Retail
Area Receipts Sales
Pacific Coast 16$ 22%
Midwest 8% 20%
Eastern Auctions 16$ -
It is the belief of economists in studying
the egg situation that very few eggs will
be storedthis fall. Shell egg holdings
are far- below that of last year.
In conclusion—it looks as"if eggs will be
in good demand for awhile.
