GOOD BROODING CONDITIONS FOR THE BEST STARTING OF THE CHICKS

The Period From One Day Old To The Point Of First Egg Production Is A Critical Time In The Life Of The Laying

Hen. (The Physiological Capability Of The Hen Is Developed.)

Any Delay In Growth At 4-5 Weeks Will Be Reflected In A Reduction In Bodyweight At 16 Weeks And Then In

Performance, Particularly In Mean Egg Wt. In Temperate Climates Or A Delay In Start Of Lay, Peak & Post Peak

Persistency In Hot Climates.

Success In The Rearing Period Leads To The Success In The Laying House And It Starts From Chick Arrival.

Monitoring crop fill in recently placed chicks gives one of the best indications of the efficacy of the chick start. At 24 hours after placement at least 95% of chicks should have a crop the size of roughly a 10mm hemisphere, with contents the consistency of pea soup. If the crop is empty or only contains water or only feed there is a serious problem.

D. Feeding Programme To Encourage Growth:

●Flush Water Lines Prior To Arrival, & Make Sure That No

Disinfectant Is Left In The Water Lines When The Chicks Arrive.

● Make Sure That The Nipples And Round Drinkers Are On The Correct Height, Nipples On Eye Level Of The Chicks, & Round Drinkers On The Floor.

● Put Paper Under The Nipples To Attract The Chicks & Extra Feed Over The Chick Paper Or Paper Trays.

During Day Old to 5 Weeks ● The Bird Is Not Able To Adapt Its Feed Consumption To Energy Level. ● Present Diet In Crumb Form, With An Adequate Concentration

Of Protein & Energy Till A Body Wt. Of 350 Gm Is Reached.

Key-points To Provide Day Old Chicks With A Good Start.

●Check The Nipples / Round Drinkers Whether The Water Supply Is Sufficient. When Nipples Are Used The Chicks Must See The Water Drop On The Nipple.

●The Feed Should Be Distributed When The Chicks Have Drunk Enough Water To Restore Their Body Fluid.

(About 4 Hours After Being Placed In The Brooding Quarters).

All These Recommendations Will Help To

- Get A Good Start & A Low Mortality Level During The First 2 Wk.- A Good Frame And Immune System.- A Good Uniformity From The Beginning.

Feeding Programme:

The Range Of Diet Advised For The Rearing Period Could Be Adapted To The Real Evolution Of The Frame And Bodyweight Development Of The Pullets.

BV-300

Starter Diet 0 To 4 Wk Could Be Extended To 5 Or 6 Wk To Secure The Frame Development. Frame Development Occurs Mainly During The First 8 Wk Of The Rearing Period.

Grower Diet 4 Wk To 10 Wk Could Be Extended To 11 Or 12 Wk Of Age In Order To Secure Growth.

Developer Diet Till 16 Wks Will Help The Development Of The Crop Capacity Because Of A Lower Energy Level Than Grower Feed And Slightly Lower Than The Pre-lay Or Layer Feed.

Feeding Techniques:

During Rearing Have As Their Objective:

● To Avoid The Build Up Of Fine Particles.

● To Have Rapid Food Consumption So As To

Develop The Crop.

● To Have A Correct Texture So As To

The Speed With Which Feed Is Eaten Depends On When It Is Fed And On The Form In Which It

Is Offered.

Feeding Times & Rapid Feed Intake:

●Birds Naturally Eat More In The Morning And Evening. For That Reason The Feeders Ought To Be Empty In The Middle

Of The Day.

The Gizzard Development Could Be Encouraged By A Good Feed Presentation And The Use Of Insoluble Grit.

►To Encourage Rapid Consumption,

● Distribute Feed About 3 Hrs Before “Lights – Out”.

● The Actual Time Of Feed Issued Should Be such That About 50% Of The Feed Is Eaten The Following Morning.

● At "Lights On", Because The Digestive System Is Empty, The Birds Will Eat Up The Finer Particles Better. This Feeding Routine Can Be Started Between 4 And 8 Wks.

● Weekly Bird Weighing Is Essential, So That The Appropriate Quantity Of Feed To Issue Can Be Calculated.

A. Method Of Weighting:

● The Time Of Weighing Should Be Fixed, Preferably In The Afternoon.

● Carrying Out Individual Weighing. A Practical Method Is To Use Weighing Sheets, Which Allow To Put The Weights Straight Into A Histogram. This Shows At Glance The Weight Distribution Within The Population.

B. Sampling Technique:

In Floor Rearing, A Sample With A Minimum Of 5% Of The Flock Or 100 Birds Gives A Good Estimate Of Mean Bodyweight And Uniformity.

In Cage Rearing, Weigh All The Birds From 5 Or 6 Cages Chosen At Random In Different Parts Of The Poultry House To Make Up A Sample. As For As Possible Weigh Same Cage Birds Every Time.

Uniformity:

The Quality Of A Flock Is Judged, As Much As Anything Else, By Its Uniformity. A Batch Is Uniform When All The

Weights Within The Sample Fall Between Plus And Minus 20 % Of The Mean Or, When

80 % Of The Weights Lie Within + 10 & -10 % Of The

Mean.

Reasons For Poor Uniformity

● Over Crowding (The Feeder Space & Position).● Poor Nutrition

● The Quality Of Beak Trimming.● The Vaccination Stress.

● Disease & Parasitism (Cocci & IBD).

Attention Points:Before Beak Trimming:

● Do Not Beak Trim Birds If The Flock Is Not In Good Health Or If It Is Suffering From Vaccine Reactions. ● Add Vitamin K In Drinking Water 48 Hours Prior To Trimming & After To Prevent Haemorrhages. ● Check The Equipment & Make Sure That The Trimming Blade Has The Right Temperature To Cauterize But Not So High To Form A Blister On The Beak Later.

During Beak Trimming: ● Operator Should Be Seated Comfortably In Such A Way As Each Beak Will Be Cut In The Same Manner. ● Do Not Rush The Process: A Too High Rate (Number Of Birds/Minute) Could Lead To A Higher Chance Of Errors & Poor Uniformity. ● Clean Blades With Sandpaper After Use Of 5.000 Chicks, & Renew Them After 20.000 To 30.000

Attention Points:

After Beak Trimming: ● Increase The Water Level In The Drinkers And The Pressure In The Pipes To Make It Easy For The Birds To Drink.● Make Sure That The Depth Of The Feed Is

Adequate, Do Not Empty The Feeders For A Week Following Beak Trimming.

Beak trimming is a very delicate operation and it is important enough to be done right.

Failure to beak trim properly can damage bird livability and uniformity and consequently affect

negatively to overall flock performances.

GENERAL PRINCIPALS OF THE LIGHTING PROGRAMMES IN REARING PERIOD

Lig

htin

g

In Addition To The Influence Of Growth, The Light Programme Plays A Determinant Role For 3 Essential Reasons:

● Progressive Growth Of The Digestive System.● Gradual Adaptation To A Body Clock ( Above All , Anticipation Of A Dark Period ).● Lack Of Night Time Energy Supply When Dark Periods are Too Long.

The Observation Of The Feeding Behaviour With The Water Consumption Shows A First Peak Of Food Intake In The 2 To 3

Hours That Precede A Dark Period, And A Second Peak Shortly After Lights Come On. The Crop Is Used During These

Peaks Of Consumption As A Storage Organ.

Allow Us To Encourage Growth & To Control The Birds' Sexual Maturity. For This Reason, Consider It To Be Essential To Achieve The Recommended Bodyweight At 5 % Lay, In Order To Obtain An Egg Weight Which Conforms With The Target From Start Of Lay,

& To Achieve High Overall Production.

The Introduction Of A Dark Period From Start Of The Rearing Period Is Important To Progressively Develop The Crop

Capacity, Which Plays A Role Of Food Reserve. However The Amount Of Food Stocked Remains Insufficient For The

Nocturnal Energy Needs.

A Rapid Decrease In Light Length Is Used To Slow The Growth Of Broilers And Broiler Breeders When Young. Conversely Any Increase In Light Duration Will Favour Growth. Strong Relation

Light Length/Food Intake/Growth.

The Purpose Of Light Programmes Is To Control The Age At Point Of Lay And Above All To Avoid The Influence Of The

Variations In Natural Day Length.

● Photo Stimulation Is Not Necessary To Stimulate Production Even When The Pullets Are Reared Under Very Short Day Lengths.

● With Very Little Change In Day Length, We Have Seen That Sexual Maturity Is Mainly Activated By Obtaining Adequate Body Weight.

● The Variation Of Light Duration Greatly Influences Sexual Maturity. Under Certain Conditions, We Can Observe A Response To A Light Stimulation From 6 Weeks Old. (More Sensitive Period Is Between 10 And 12 Weeks Old).

● Light Stimulation Will Change Bird Weight At Sexual Maturity And Adult Weight, As A Consequence The Egg Weight, Which Is Directly Related To The Bodyweight Of The Bird At First Egg.

●The Use Of A Very Slowly Decreasing Light Programme Througout The First 13 Weeks Encourages Growth.

●As Most Of The Houses Are Open Sided Hence Do Not Give Any Artificial Light During Growing Period.

●Decreasing Day Length During Growing Increases The Growing Period & Helps In Delaying The Sexual Maturity.

●Only Natural Light should Be Made Use Of Till The Flock Achieved Desired Body Weight.
