Maryland poultry conference goals seek bigger egg output
The closing session featured Wade H. Rice of the University of Maryland Extension Poultryman who outlined Maryland's 1952 egg deficit. Maryland produced 515 million eggs while residents consumed 1,018 million, and local flocks supplied only 263 percent of 78.7 million incubated eggs. Recommendations called for larger flocks, resuming wartime production, commercial egg farming, higher egg production per pig, and better egg quality to fetch top prices. A roundtable followed and feed manufacturers toured the new Maryland poultry building after adjournment.
