More and Better
R.O.P. Cockerels

About 50 per cent more wing
bands have been. issued this year
than last by the Dominion De-

partment of Agriculture for the- |

identification of chicks hatched

on R.O.P. breeding plants... The

department says this indicates a

. record increase in the number of

mature. R.O.P. -males*:to - be- ap-
proved: this fall for use’ in hatch-

“ery - flocks in 1946.

Hatcherymen have been buy-
ing more: and more of these re-
liable cockerels. for - distribution
to flock. owners.....The number
of R.O.P.:cockerels approved for
use in flocks supplying eggs to
hatcheries has risen from
thousand in 1942 to 52 thousand
in 1944 and will evidently go
still higher this year.

The known breeding behind

. these cockerels assures the pro-

duction of better chicks that in-
herit the ability to mature early,
produce superior meat carcasses,
and lay more eggs. As the foun-

-dation for more efficient poultry

production is outstanding breed-
ing stock, Flock Approval policies
of most. provincial departments
of agriculture encourage the
widespread use of R.O.P. cocker-

els.
