After more than two years of
laboratory research and farm test
ing on over a half million birds,
Vineland Poultry Laboratories has
announced a revolutionary new
concept in the field of hormonizing
poultry. The new product, called
CAPONADE, is a liquid hormOne-
in contrast to the pellets, paste or
oils that have heretofore been
available to the poultry industry.
This liquid, upon injection, be-
comes a gelatinous mass as soon
as it hits the body fluids of the
bird. Some of the hOrmOle (die-
thylstilbestrol) is Immediately re-
leased into the blood stream of the
bird, stimulating feed intake. The
balance is slowly released over a
period of weeks.
"The advantages of CAP0NADE
over known methods of diethyl-
stilbestrOl implantation are imme-
diately apparent" commented Dr.
A. ID. GOldhaft. director of the
Laboratories. "This hOrmOne liq-
uid, used in the VINELAND
syringe, permits a speed and eco
nomy of operation that promises
TO completely reyolutiOnize the
hOrmone treatment of poultry"
CAPONADE was developed from
a long series of experiments de-
liberately designed to overcome
all the known defects of products
used heretofore. Vineland Poultry
Laboratories sought a product that
was inexpensive, swift in applica-
tiOn and complete and dependable
in results. 1t should release the
hormone Immediately after injec-
tiOn but maintain a reserve which
would be effective over a period of
time sufficient to allow a bird to
acquire proper finish. That unre-
lenting search eliminated in CA
PONADE.
The application of CAPONADE
brings q dramatic upswing i'm feed
consumption within SO to 48 hours
after treatment, followed by
prompt and uniform comb shrink
age. Weight climbs rapidly, with
gains of one-quarter to one pound
over untreated birds.
"One of the most striking fea-
lures of CAPONADE is it's versa
tility," said DR.. Goldhaft. 'By
simple adjustment of the auto
matte syringe growers can estab-
lish the optimum level for best re-
suits. A six mgm, dose will give a
slx-Week-old bird a quick boost
for early marketing; 10 mgm.
dosage is fine for birds from six
to eight weeks old that will be
marketed between nine and II
weeks, while a Is mgm. dose at
eight weeks or more will result in
a well-developed bird with top
finish in four to six weeks"
Since CAPONADE is a liquid
a liquid that form a plastic globule
beneath the skin of the neck as
soon as it hits the body fluids, it
conforms to the space that is avail
able to it. This smoOth-surfaced
glob has no rough edges, so there
is no walling off by body tissues
to prevent steady, even release Of
the hOrmone.
It's absorption into the blood
stream is uniform, and little or
no hOrmOne residue remains in the
bird to cause marketing problems.
Vineland Poultry Laboratories
has prepared a new four-page fold
er describing CAP0NADE. It in
cludes such details as the method
of use, how and why CAPONADE
produces outstanding results, plus
some dOwn-to-earth reports on ac-
tual field tests on thousands of
birds.
"CAPONADE is completely
new type of hormone product"
DR.. GOldhaft declared. mot only
in physical form but in its chemi-
cal composition. It marks a re-
markable step forward in stimu-
lating the growth of brOilers and
roasters, and the acquiring of un-
usual market finish"
