Ag Poultry Farm
Is Big Investment
BY MIKE JACKSON
Special Writer
The poultry industry at A&M
university has grown into a very
large scale investment. The De
partment of Poultry Science is in
partnership with the Texas Agri
cultural Extension Service at the
poultry farm, which is located
west-southwest of the campus.
There are 40 acres of permanent
buildings for housing chickens and
turkeys. The birds in these build
ings are used for actual production
of eggs and meat products. There
is an additional 120 acres for both
chickens and turkeys for replace
ment purposes.
Almost all the eggs consumed
in A&M dining halls are purchased
from the poultry farm. Most of
the broiler chickens and turkeys
are sold to private processing
plants. The broilers are being pro
duced and sold all year long while
the turkeys are produced so they
will be ready for market during
the Thanksgiving and Christmas
seasons.
THERE ARE approximately 15,-
000 laying hens in production now,
and about 20,000 replacement hens
of different ages. These hens lay
approximately 200,000 dozen eggs
annually. There are about 3,000
broilers and turkeys produced an
nually for consumption. The broil
ers are sold at eight weeks and
Mohair Specialist
Named To Board
Houston E. Smith of the Depart
ment of Agricultural Economics
and Sociology has been named to
a committee to help the Texas
Industrial Commission stimulate
the state’s mohair business.
Smith said the committee was
established recently in Austin
when Texas Sheep and Goat Rais
ers Association representative met
with the Texas Industrial Com-
mision to discuss feasibility of
promoting new mohair processors.
He said the group also will
consider facilities capable of hand
ling wool and mohair together as
complimentary fibers.
A meeting of the committee is
planned for late November or ear
ly December, Smith added.
the turkeys depending on size of
bird and the demand.
The eggs are collected from the
wire cages where the chickens are
kept and then brought to coolers.
There are four walk-in coolers
that can hold 6,000 dozen eggs
each, and another one is under con
struction. The laying hens are of
no particular breed, but are the
result of strain crosses and inbred
crosses. By crossing the chickens,
the better characteristics of the
different breeds can be obtained,
said Dr. J. H. Quisenberry, head
of the Department of Poultry
Science.
Dr. Quisenberry also stated that
the cross and inbreeding of chick
ens will help in attaining a very
specialized bird that will either be
adapted for laying eggs or for
meat consumption. This will elim
inate the dual purpose chicken
which has been used for both con
sumption and for eggs in the past.
THE PRODUCTION of poultry
products is not the only purpose
of the poultry farm. There are
many research projects underway,
ranging from the calcium and
phosphorus requirement of breeder
turkeys to the effect of various
egg shell characteristics on bac
terial penetration of the egg.
The replacement chickens and
turkeys are separated to help pre
vent communicable diseases. Both
the chickens and turkeys have a
60 acre plot for replacement pur
poses. There are 16 full-time em
ployes, 12 students, six to eight
graduate students and two full
time staff members working on
the poultry farm. The profit made
from the farm is quite variable
because it is directly proportional
to the price of eggs.
