Superiority of purebred live stock shown by inquiry
D Burch of the Bureau of Animal Industry reports on a USDA inquiry based on about 25 000 breeding stock and 30 000 poultry birds showing purebreds have about 40 percent higher earning power than scrubs due to better conformation and production. Purebreds head to more salable offspring with nearly 50 percent higher returns. The study notes 9 years of breeder experience and 30 percent of females purebred, with overall financial returns from purebred use averaging 48 percent. Efficiency depends on stock quality and skilled management, with records guiding selection and progress.
