Table 18. Determination of Average Locations of Broiler Production Units 



in Each Broiler Producing Band and Travel Time from the Plant 



to the Producing Units for Three Density Levels. 



X equals the distance from the center of the producing area to the inner perimeter 

 of the band, and Y equals the distance from the center to the outer perimeter of the 

 band. 



t Road mileage derived from one or the other of two equations. When D is greater 

 than 10 miles, road mileage derived from the equation, R = — 1.534 + 1.351D. 

 When D is equal to or less than 10 miles, road mileage derived from the equation, 

 R = 1.196D. 



$ Hours derived from following equations: 



0—59.9 miles one way T = 2.865 + 2.6818R — 0.0102R2 

 60— and over one way T = 50 + 1.299R 



when T is time in minutes and R is road mileage one way. 



several operations that the distrihution personnel must carry out at each 

 broiler producing facility. In actuality, the broiler grower may assist the 

 personnel in these operations. However, he is not obligated to assist, and 

 it is assumed that he does not.
