10. Methodology
• Daily observation & cleaning
• Housing
• Feeding
• Watering
• Weighing
• Egg collection
• Common management practices.
– Debeaking
– Culling
– Feed supplement
– Egg quality parameters
• Special management practices.

11. Methodology
• Housing
• Birds except ducks are reared under Deep litter system in separate pens.
• Ducks are reared in separate house.
• Every morning they were allowed to the pond near the duck house.

12. Methodology
• Feeding and watering
• According to the
• Type
• Age
• Weight and
• Physical status of the bird,
feed and water was provided.
• Daily observation & cleaning
• Observation is done for every single bird. If there was any abnormal or diseased bird,
immediately they were separated and treatments were given.
• To attain a proper sanitary condition, clean environment is maintained regularly.

13. Methodology
• Feed was mixed with the water specially for the duck.
• Water is provided two times per day according to the number and the size of the bird.
• Litter management
• Paddy husk is used as litter for all type of birds.
• Litter was changed once in two days for the broilers.
• Weighing
• Weighing was done weekly in order to investigate the growth rate of the each bird.
• Growth rate was used to analyze the performance and efficiencies of the bird.

14. Methodology
• Egg collection
• Eggs were collected twice a day in each unit of poultry.
• Weight and the quality of the eggs were observed simultaneously.
• Special management practices
• Debeaking
• partial removal of the beak of poultry.
• Reduce damage caused by injurious pecking such as cannibalism, feather
pecking and vent pecking
• Electric debeaker was used in this practice.

15. Methodology

17. • In order to fulfill the additional nutrient requirements, feed supplements were
given.
• Ca supplement (shell grits) - Increase the ca deposition and egg shell
thickness
• Mineral supplement
• Vitamin B complex - Given during stress conditions
• Chick tonics
Feed supplement

18. Egg quality parameters
• Egg quality is a general term which refers to several standards which define both internal and
external quality
External parameters Internal parameters
1. Egg weight 1. Egg York weight and height
2. Egg length 2. Albumin weight and height
3. Egg width 3. Shell thickness
4. Shape index 4. Egg York color
5. Cleanliness 5. Egg York index
6. Egg York and albumin pH
• Special equipment
1. Weighing balance
2. pH meter
3. Egg yolk color pan
4. Candling equipment

19. Broiler management

• Weighing
• Vaccination
• Providing Chick Tonic + B-Complex
• Slaughtering

20. Housing
• 200 chicks were arrived on 06th May 2016.
• After white wash and adding litter chicks were placed on pens group wise.
• 0.36ft2 space was provided for one chick.
• Vt. B complex and chick tonic was given to reduce the stress condition.
• 60W bulbs were provided according to the light requirement
• Paddy husk was used as the litter and they were changed once in two days.

Starter Finisher
• Feeding was done according to the recommended quantity.
• Every day 7.00 am and 3.00 pm feed was provided.
• Chick starter was given from the 1st day to 27th day.
• In 21th day Finisher feed was introduced gradually up to 27th day.
• Starting from 27th day only the finisher was provided.
• Specially on 17th day large feeders were introduced.

22. • From the day old chick weight was measured once in a week.
• Broiler weight is very important while calculating broiler performances.

23. Vaccination
• Vaccination is done in order to prevent common diseases in broilers.
• According to the recommendation following vaccinations were given.
• Gumboro – 8th day – prevent Bursal disease
• Ranikhet – 13th day – prevent New Castle disease
• All vaccinations were given orally with drinking water.

24. Slaughtering Process
Starvation Weighing Decapitation Evisceration Packing

25. Results
• Average weight of the Broilers on 42nd day = 2.07kg
• Average Carcass weight = 1.58kg
– Dressing Percentage = ( Carcass weight / Live Weight )
˟100
= (1.58kg / 2.17kg )
˟100
= 71.81%
– Standard dressing percentage is about 70 – 72 %

27. Problems & suggestions
• Record keeping should be updated.
• Egg collection details.
• Stock keeping details.
• Improvement of infrastructures.
• Cages
• Cleaning facilities.
• Use poultry manure as a fertilizer for the pasture land.

28. Conclusion
