Some Observations on Poultry

Abstract

Poultry husbandry has been included in the scheme of work at Mpwapwa for a number of years, and the underlying principle has been the improvement of fowls for all sections of the community. The results discussed below are taken from the work designed to help European farmers. Pure breeds of Rhode Island, White Leghorn, Light Sussex, and Silver and Golden Cambars are maintained, but these observations are confined to the first two breeds, because insufficient data have been collected for the other types.
