EXHIBITION POULTRY, AND GAME BIRDS 



Introduction 



The hatcheries, dealers, and independent flocks listed in this publication are participating 

 in the National Poultry Improvement Plan, according to reports submitted by the Official State 

 Agencies. This list of participants is published for the purpose of developing greater 

 efficiency in the operation of the Plan. Additional information regarding participants may be 

 obtained .by communicating with the Contact Representative of the Official State Agency of the 

 respective State. The Contact Representative's name, address, and telephone number are given at 

 the beginning of each State's listings in table 1. 



This publication is revised each year because of frequent changes in participation and the 

 need for inspectors, hatcherymen, dealers, and others to have up-to-date information. In 

 addition, all Official State Agencies are notified of changes in participation which take place 

 during the year. 



The latest National Poultry Improvement Plan provisions, as contained in Title 9, Chapter 

 I, Parts 145 and 147 of the Code of Federal Regulations, provide for recognition of different 

 classes or types of fowl as follows: Subpart B--Egg-Type Chickens; Subpart C--Meat-Type 

 Chickens; Subpart D— Turkeys; and Subpart E--Waterfowl, Exhibition Poultry, and Game Birds. 

 Participants handling egg and meat-type chickens as well as those handling turkeys are listed in 

 a separate publication in this series. 



Approval Numbers 



In table 1 of this publication, the numerals preceding the name of the State, together with 

 those preceding the name of each participant, constitute the participant's approval number. For 

 example, the approval number for the first hatchery listed under Alabama is 64-164. The No. 64 

 represents the State of Alabama; No. 164, Alabama Quail Farm Hatchery, 313 South Alice Street, 

 Dothan 36301. These assigned numbers may be used by participants on shipping labels, 

 certificates, invoices, and other documents for identification. They may also be used as 

 reference numbers for shipments to member States of the European Economic Community. 



Participant's Name and Address 



Three types of participants are listed in this publication: those participating as a 

 hatchery, as a dealer, or as an independent flock. For each State, the type of participant is 

 given immediately above the first name in that category.

 manufacturer's rating, including setting and hatching trays. Letter symbols in this column 

 refer to products that dealers handle, as follows: E, hatching eggs; C, chicks. When an 

 independent flock is listed, this column is left blank. 



Products and Classification
