Poultry Department Sees Move of Research Lab to Sedalia
Missouri's Poultry Department reports the Food Research Laboratory formerly at Nashville will relocate to Sedalia. Led by Dr Mary E Pennington and Prof H C Pierce, the lab studies egg and poultry marketing from producer to consumer and aims to reduce losses. A drop in bad eggs at the receiving station could raise egg prices by about three cents per dozen, benefiting good egg producers as Missouri builds local lab capacity.
