Introduction to Grass-Based Chick & Turkey Production DVD

An Introduction to Grass-Based Chicken & Turkey Production written and presented by, Herman Beck-Chenoweth. Includes all Powerpoint Slides. From the 1930's to the 1960's free-range poultry was the norm for the United States. With the introduction of the pole-building confinement house this sustainable and profitable system fell into disuse in the States but continued being widely popular throughout the rest of the world. In France alone nearly 25% of all chicken sold is raised using the free-range system. In this lively and fast-paced 60 minute presentation made before a live audience Beck-Chenoweth uses over 50 Powerpoint slides to take the viewer to a large Amish Farm that produces over 25,000 chickens, 500 turkeys and 10,200 dozen eggs per year. Information given covers field production, processing and marketing including information about the importance of meat and bone meal in feed rations. Available on-line from Back40Books.com. Written and Presented by Herman Beck-Chenoweth at the 2006 Farm Science Review. To order by phone call toll free 866-596-9982.
