Extract

Sampling methods for the estimation of annual production and mean egg weight have been examined, and an attempt made, by a combination of theoretical considerations and practical observations, to derive general expressions for the standard error of such estimates. Numerical values of these errors have been tabulated in a form suitable for direct application by the practical poultry worker.

The author wishes gratefully to acknowledge the assistance and criticism given him by Dr F. Yates, and by Mr F. J. Dudley of the National Institute of Poultry Husbandry.
