Over 200,000 day-old pheasant chicks were produced annually during the 1960s. During this same time frame dressed bird production was limited (perhaps 3,000 birds a year were produced). Also during the 1960s mature pheasants continued to be produced for sale to hunting preserves. About 200 acres of corn and soybeans were raised yearly.

It is often used for growing bacterial cultures, hatching eggs artificially, or providing suitable conditions for a chemical or biological reaction.
