Broiler Chickens
 Broilers are a rich source of
protein. They also have ample
proteins, vitamins, and
minerals. Technological
advancements and commercial
development have made
specially developed broilers
available. These breeds differ
from egg layering birds used in
layer poultry farming.

Broiler Breeds
 Genetically modified
commercial broiler breeds are
also available. These breeds
are genetically modified to
produce meat rather than
eggs. Such strains enhance
meat production and have a
higher conversion rate.

Selection Of Chicks
 Farmers must select healthy, one-
day-old chicks for breeding and
rearing for broiler farming. Healthy
chicks explore the farm and scurry
away when someone approaches.
Farmers are required to choose such
chicks. Mostly, chicks are very active.
They huddle together when they are
sick, hungry, tired, cold, or scared.

Lighting In Broiler House
Broiler houses must provide 24 hours of
light during the brooding time of broiler
farming. The pattern followed is 23
hours of white-light followed by an hour
of darkness daily till they are ready for
marketing. The one-hour dimness is to
acclimatize the birds towards dark to
prevent panic and stampede in case of
power failure.

Feeding In Broiler Farming
Food plays a vital role in broiler
farming. Feed management is a
critical aspect of efficient broiler
farming. The feed must have
adequate nutrition. It must contain
a sufficient quantity of vital
nutrients. An insufficient amount
of nutrients leads to a poor
conversion-rate and lower profit.
