Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Turkey Raising in California Turkey production in the United States first started along the Atlantic Seaboard and has gradually come westward. In the East as turkey production increased, disease problems multiplied until there was a definite decrease in turkey growing. In recent years eastern growers have demonstrated that by strict sanitation they can successfully grow turkeys. Clean ground, houses, feed, and stock rather than medicines are-the methods used to combat disease. Prevention was found to be the only satisfactory way to control disease. During the time turkey production was on the wane in the East it grew in the western section of the United States. Less turkey and poultry population in this section and particularly the drier climate tended to prevent diseases and parasites. In recent years, however, some sections that have become densely populated with turkeys and poultry have been having severe losses through diseases, parasites, or both. It is apparent that the western turkey grower also must pay strict attention to sanitation. By modern artificial rearing methods and sanitation, diseases and parasites are much more easily controlled than when natural methods of rearing are practiced. California is rapidly becoming an important turkey-producing state, for the long, dry summers seem to favor turkey production on a large'scale. Until the last two or three years, however, very little artificial hatching and rearing was done, though both have been successfully carried on at the California Experiment Station for the past. Fifteen years and repeated efforts were made to interest the growers in artificial methods. Turkey growers have ever been fearful of things mechanical and even after artificial hatching had again and again been demonstrated they were reluctant to believe that artificial brooding could be successfully accomplished in the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Turkey Production in California The turkey industry in California is a well-established branch of agri culture. Like many other agricultural enterprises of the state, the turkey industry is highly specialized. Thus, while there are many small farm flocks, a high percentage of the turkeys are raised in large units on farms where turkeys are the main source of revenue. Naturally, many problems face such an industry. These problems are at present the subject of much research activity and, in consequence, knowledge in many fields of direct interest to those engaged in the turkey industry is rapidly increasing. In the following pages, useful informa tion gathered from the experience of those engaged in various phases of the turkey industry, from the literature, and from work in progress in the California Agricultural Experiment Station, is presented. Growth of the Turkey Industry. - Turkey raising developed first in the New England states and gradually spread with settlers to other sec tions of the country. Turkey production was for a long time confined to small farm flocks in California and elsewhere, although commercial fiocks (that is, the production of turkeys as the main enterprise) were reported as early as 1888 in this state. For a long time, however, there was little progress in the turkey industry, and in fact, according to cen sus figures, some decrease in the number of turkeys raised in California occurred from 1890 to 1910. By 1920, turkey production again increased slightly, and in more recent years there has been a rapid growth, which reached a peak in 1936 followed by an apparent decrease in 1937.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Turkey Raising For the past twenty years there has been a general and more or less steady decrease in turkey production. And this in spite of the fact that no other branch of livestock returns as great a profit for the money invested and the equipment required. Recently, however, there has been a considerable awakening of interest in turkey raising and a growing demand for detailed information regard ing this industry. It has been the purpose of the authors to provide in this publication the latest and most thoroughly reliable information on the subject for the use both of the raiser of market turkeys and of the producer of breeding or exhibition stock. In presenting this information it has been the authors' aim to deal with the subject thoroughly and in great detail and at the same time to keep the work so concise, simple and clear that it is of the greatest practical value either to the beginner or to one more experienced in turkey raising. Recognizing the high value Of good illustrations in emphasizing the information given in the text, all phases Of this book have been thoroughly illustrated. It is the confident belief of the authors that considered either from the standpoint of the completeness with which all phases of the subject are covered or of the excellence of the illustrations themselves, no equal set of photo graphs on the subjects treated has ever before been gathered together.

This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Blackhead and Other Causes of Loss of Turkeys in California Blackhead has long been known to occur in California, and is undoubtedly responsible for severe losses. However, if experience during the season of 1924 may serve as a. Guide, it is not so prevalent as was supposed. The season, however, on account of a severe drought, was especially unfavorable for blackhead. Observations made in some sections indicate that the disease has not been prevalent to any great extent on well drained unirrigated ranges and grain fields where large bands of turkeys have been running. It is believed that blackhead as a serious disease will be found to be localized to a considerable degree in those sections where the land is low, wet or under irrigation. Birds Susceptible to the Disease - In addition to the turkey, the disease occurs also occasionally in the chicken, the pea fowl, the guinea fowl, and in pheasants, grouse, quail and possibly other game birds. However, game birds subject to the disease are not sufficiently numer ous, as a rule, to be a factor in the control of the disease in turkeys. None of the common wild birds are known to be subject to blackhead. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Turkey Journal, Vol. 5: June, 1936 Three full weeks of travel into all the most important turkey producing sections, addressing seventeen meetings of turkey growers, was both a privilege and a pleas ure. At nearly every one of these meetings I met those I had previously met or with whom I felt acquainted thru correspond ence or show publicity. As usual among turkey folks, I met a lot of interesting and wonderful people, as de voted to their turkeys as could be found anywhere, altho I was somewhat surprised to find up to 75 per cent or more of the growers still keeping a very limited num ber of breeders and raising their brood by the old fashioned natural method. While I learned of varying degrees of success in applying this method I saw no thing pointing to the possibility of ever making a success, on the present scale of turkey production handled in that way, and thereby concluded that in this particular case our good Missouri neighbors really do need to be shown. Moreover, I found them interested in, and anxious to learn, more about modern methods and practices of turkey raising. At this point it will be interesting to note something of the past and present status of turkey history in Missouri.

Download or read book Diseases of Turkeys Classic Reprint written by William Russell Hinshaw and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Diseases of Turkeys Blackhead was considered to be the most important disease of turkeys in California until Graybill showed that other diseases were causing much of the mortality. Subsequent investigations have shown that these losses have many causes, some of which have been studied sufficiently to warrant definite recommendations regarding prevention and control, whereas others are still either undetermined or in need of more research. This bulletin reports progress on certain turkey-disease problems still being studied at this station. It also brings together previously published data both from this station and from other sources. In the first section will be discussed some general principles of prevention and control, applicable to all diseases. Since prevention is the keynote of disease con trol, very little space will be devoted to treatment. Some of the materials listed in this bulletin may become scarce and unavailable because of the war. In such cases, it is suggested that the reader consult his local veterinarian or county farm advisor, or write to the Agricultural Extension Service, University of California, Berkeley, to learn about possible substitutes that may be used. Great caution should be exercised in the use of substitutes unless they have been proved of value for the intended service.
