1 Q. But if you left them they would not be able to reproduce,
2 would they?
3 A. I think they probably would actually.
4
5 Q. If that is so why do you need to restrict the feed for the
6 breeders?
7 A. Because you get better performance.
8
9 Q. So in the broilers, some of them, you might get a few being
10 able to breed, but most of them would not be able to?
11 A. Yes, but we have not put that to the test.
12
13 Q. But that is the reality, is it not?
14 A. If you have not put it to the test you cannot say
15 whether it is reality.
16
17 Q. Are the breeders healthy? They are not starving?
18 A. Breeders are very healthy.
19
20 Q. They are not starving to death?
21 A. They are not starving to death.
22
23 Q. Would you say they are hungry?
24 A. They are hungry, yes.
25
26 Q. You cannot have it both ways, can you? Either you are
27 grossly over feeding broilers or you are grossly under
28 feeding the breeders, or it is a mixture of both?
29 A. They are designed for different purposes. They are fed
30 different rations.
31
32 Q. One is the offspring of another so they are not going to be
33 that different?
34 A. No.
35
36 Q. That is correct?
37 A. That is correct.
38
39 Q. Would you agree that people regularly exposed to ammonia no
40 longer notice the smell?
41 A. I honestly do not know whether that is true or not.
42 Ammonia is a pretty pungent gas, so most people are pretty
43 capable of detecting it.
