Summary:

By the use of the “Quick ” Method the presence of Bacterium pullorum can with certainty be proved. This method gives very nearly as reliable results as the “Slow” Method. It can, therefore, and also by reason of its simplicity and economy of time and money be given the preference.

First Egg-Laying Competition of Show-Birds in Germany, 1937–38. A. Becker. Geflügel-Börse, April 21st, 1939.

Only hens from exposition-breeders were tested. 12 flocks were in the test. Average production 187·8 eggs, average weight 56·4 grammes, mortality 8·3 per cent. This first competition was a great success for the breeders who during years already bred their fowls only for expositions.
