A Practical Test of the Blood Agglutination Technic (Rettger) in a Bacillary White Diarrhea Case in New Jersey

Abstract

I presume that it is a more or less generally admitted fact that in the reproduction of birds with which to perpetuate and build up the poultry flock the-poultry raiser finds his most perplexing problems, for in the hatching of eggs and the brooding and rearing of young chicks there are many as yet unsolved questions, as well as many agencies that rise to make that particular part of the poultryman’s work difficult. Consequently, we, at the New Jersey Station, and I assume that it is true elsewhere as well, have felt a decidedly strong call for help and advice during the spring season, and an insistent demand on the part of the industry in the state for research work, as well as demonstrational work, along the lines of baby chick production and handling. This is a wide field and one which I feel personally is worthy of very carefully . . .
