The condition of a carcass when it is Marketed depends almost entirely on the way the bird is Caned' for up to the time it is killed. This means the way inwhich it is grown and the way fattened .for market. A poorly grown bird will not take on weight satisfactorily; its digestive organs leave not developed sufficiently to handle 'the more or less concentra- ted feed that is fed during the fatten- ing period., nor does, the bird have the vitality to stand up under the fatten- ing process.
