Turkey breeder hens: Are you growing your bank account, or always making withdrawals? A turkey breeder flock is like a bank account. You make deposits and withdrawals from this account. Deposits are made as you manage the flock in a correct manner. Withdrawals are made when there is mismanagement. For example, starting at day one, if you give the hens the proper air quality, proper temperature profiles, and good quality feed and water, each one of these are deposits in the bank account. On the other hand, if you mismanage the temperature, feed or the litter and air quality, these are all withdrawals from the bank account.

Maternal influence on turkey poult quality Domestic turkeys are unique among modern-day poultry species because of the unusual variation in egg sizes and functional qualities that the breeder hen produces. It is common to observe hens at the initiation of lay producing eggs weighing 70 grams, while at the end of a reproduction cycle they may produce eggs weighing over 100 grams. Large changes in egg weight as the hen ages must be accompanied by equally large changes in eggshell permeability or in the length of the incubation period because these factors are interrelated.

As I've mentioned in this e-letter before, your success is our success. Diamond V has provided all-natural, research-proven nutritional fermentation products since 1943 and our commitment to helping our customers succeed has enabled Diamond V to continue investing in research and technologies that make our products even better. It also enables us to deploy top-tier science that illustrates and validates how Diamond V ingredients work in your animals. And now, we have the latest testament to that mutual benefit between you--our customer--and our company: a new global headquarters and expansion of our manufacturing facilities.
Last month we broke ground on a new, $4.5 million, 17,000 sq ft worldwide headquarters in Cedar Rapids, IA. It is scheduled to open in July 2012. The new headquarters will support a 65-percent increase in administrative, technical and sales support staff and provide additional space for training and client meetings. The planned new high-technology headquarters is being located on the 77-acre Diamond V campus in Cedar Rapids. The campus also contains a recently constructed manufacturing plant and ample room for expansion. The campus' manufacturing plant is undergoing a $12.5 million expansion, hiking production capacity by 40 percent. The expansion enables Diamond V to deliver its industry-best customer service while keeping pace with growing demand in the United States and worldwide.
Our President and CEO John Bloomhall says it best: "Our continued growth results from a singular focus on microbial fermentation technology, really understanding the technology, and being the best in the world at using it."
Our producer customers have allowed us the privilege of demonstrating our world-class technology on their farms ...and in their financial statements...every day. We owe our exciting expansion to that privileged trust. If you are ever in Cedar Rapids, please stop by. We'd love to show you the new digs!
