Farm and shipping tips from state agriculture college
Guidance covers poultry and hog shipping. For hens, remove male birds, produce infertile eggs after hatching, provide one nest per six hens, gather eggs twice daily, keep nests in a cool dry ventilated place away from odorous materials, protect eggs from sun, candle eggs, and sell infertile eggs to higher paying buyers. Hog handling stresses quiet loading, rest and cool before loading, ample drinking water, bed cars with sand, avoid bedding with cinders or straw, ice cakes in hot weather, avoid overloading, load around 15,000 pounds in a 36 foot car rather than 17,000.
