NATIONAL POULTRY IMPROVEMENT PLAN 



1991 DIRECTORY OF PARTICIPANTS HANDLING WATERFOWL, 



EXHIBITION POULTRY, AND GAME BIRDS 



Introduction 



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

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

 addition to this listing, all Official State Agencies are notified of changes in participation 

 that take place during the year. 



The 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 (APHIS 91-55-001) 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 64-417. The number 

 64 represents the State of Alabama; 417 represents B & W Bobwhite Quail Hathcery, RR 1, Box 56, 

 Chancellor 36316. 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: hatcheries, dealers, and 

 independent flocks. For each State, the type of participant is given immediately above the 

 first name in that category. 



Hatching Egg Capacity 



Figures in this column refer to the hatching egg capacity of hatcheries, according to 

 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 



All products handled by participants listed in this publication meet the specific 

 requirements for a "U.S. Pullorum- Typhoid Clean" classification. The combined letter and 

 numeral symbols shown in the fourth column identify the particular breed, strain, or trade name 

 of the participant's products (see tables 2 and 3 in the appendix). Additional classifications 

 for which these products qualify are identified in column five by M6, "U.S. M. Gall isepticum 

 Clean"; and App., "U.S. Approved." Those classified as approved were found to conform with the 

 criteria for the breed and strain represented. 



Explanation for Table 1 



Participants listed in table 1 represent hatcheries, dealers, or independent flocks handling 

 waterfowl, exhibition poultry, or game birds. The products they handle have a letter symbol as 

 follows: 



a--White Leghorn h--Cornish t--Meat Production Stocks 



b--Rhode Island Red n--Game w--Bantams 



c--Barred Plymouth Rock r--Other breeds and x--Ducks 



d--White Plymouth Rock varieties y--Geese
