BIO-SECURITY

hands in hand disinfectant box or by hand sanitizer, change the shoes, take the head cover, face
mask and disinfect the cell phone.

take shower then wear well washed farm clothes & shoes, take face masks and head covers.
After that they could go to their sheds.

at the entrance of each shed.

1st -10th day 9A
11th-24th Day 9B
25th -42nd Day 9S

 Initially for first seven days feeding was given in chick Plates.
 No feed Gap

Bird Weighing

Accurate weighing of enough birds in the rearing and reproductive periods is the only way to
adjust feed amounts and control bodyweight. Sample weighing should be carried out weekly starting at
day old before offering of feed.

 Weight was done on weekly basis

 Day Old chick weight was 40gms

Week Weight
1st Week 183gms
2nd week 502gms
3rd week 970 gms
4th week 1538 gms
5th week 2164 gms

Good uniformity:-

Good uniformity is a key for good peak production and maximum chick yield. Adequate feed
supply and distribution for the individual bird is sign of good uniformity

Main causes for poor uniformity are:

 Insufficient feeder space. In this case, not all birds may be able to consume enough feed  to
meet their demand.
 Uneven feed supply in the house.
 The feed supply system must be able to distribute the feed quickly so that all birds can start to
eat at the same time.
 Nutritional and disease problems. Intestinal disease problems (e.g. coccidiosis) affecting the
utilization of nutrients can also cause uniformity problems.

Taking different samples in all sheds

Ventilation Management:-

 Ventilation is considered as one of the most important tools for the best performance of flock.
 Not only average temperature but individual sensor reading is also very important. Difference
between front and back sensor should not be more than 1-2oC.
 If difference is more than this, we must manage according to external temperature and shed
temperature.
 Proper ventilation means proper temperature, air flow, no stagnant air, no smell of gases, and
no suffocation inside the shed.

16
 Ventilation is removing old air from the shed and replacing it with fresh air. In control sheds,
ventilation is maintained using control panel.

 Set point, minimum or maximum air flow, pad on & off temperature, pad timers, side fan
timers, front fan timers and inlet diameter opening, or closing are the things we can alter to get
the targeted ventilation.
 Set point in control panels indicates average temperature we want in the shed. Set point works
with number of fans. Pad ON & OFF Temperature: It is set according to need of a shed on basis
of external temperature and humidity.
 Both ON & OFF temperature for the pad working is set in the panel. It can made to work
automatically or manually according to circumstances. It is only used in summers. Even after
setting ON & OFF temperature of a pad, it also works on a timer in both auto and manual mode.
 In auto mode when temperature of a shed falls from OFF temperature of a pad set on a panel it
cut downs the timer and pads are OFF.
 But in manual it totally works on a timer. Timer can be changed.
 Vents are open in winters according to pressure and temperature.
 Nights of winter are cold, so we have to critically observe the birds repeatedly.
 We manage inlets, side fans and front fans one by one until we get the targeted ventilation and
temperature of the shed.
 We have to keep an eye on humidity that it should not be less than 40 %. At Sabirs breeder
Farm, I visit the shed during day, I found the environment comfortable for the birds.
 Transitional Ventilation is actually a mixed type of ventilation.
 Using both summer and winter strategies in a way that shed temperature and environment
remains in an ideal range.
 There were only two options Till 24oC outside temperature, system works on minimum
ventilation by addition of front fans as operational

17
My Routine Work at Farm
