Broiler Farming
At commercial level Open shedControl Sheds
Open shed vs Control shed
Control shed Open shed
Most of the things are automatic. Every thing manual
Construction cost very much high. Construction cost very low
Production satisfied Production not satisfied
Open Shed
• Every thing manually• i.e Feeding , Watering
Vaccination etc.• Tem in open shed
difficult to maintain.• RH also not retain
according to our requirement.
Open shed
DisadvantagesBecause management not under our control so• Production low• FCR low• Body wt vary from bird
to bird• High labour cost• At the end not satisfy
farmer
Open shed
Advantages
• Low construction & Running expenses (electricity , diesel etc.)
• Birds are more resistant to diseases then control shed.
Control shedAdvantages
• Almost Every thing auto control
(feeding , watering , may be vaccines, Tem , RH , Ventilation , etc.)• Low labour cost• Wt gain high• FCR high
Control shed
Disadvantages
• Construction cost high• Running cost high• Less immune birds then
open shed

Control shed for BROILER
1.Preparation of shed
• Remove old litter• Clean the shed by iron
fiber brush(pillars walls roof doors etc.)
• After that remove any stain of feces by khurpi
• Then this method applied in stores.

BROODING UNITS
BROODING
THE CHICKS WILL TELL YOU IF THEY ARE COMFORTABLE
Brooding ( 1 – 9days)
• Brooding most imp aspect in poultry farming
• In summer brooding easy process as compared to winter
• In summer no need of brooder almost
• In winter brooder requirement necessary
• Tem Auto Control by fans, pads & duct brooder system
• Ventilation controlled by vents fans pads
• RH(relative Humidity) controlled
• Water in water lines & drink through nipples some time also use baby drinkers early days
• Feeding at early days in feeding trays place on litters in sequence
• After 16-20 hr. crop test• Mortality must be less
then 0.26 during 1st week
• Grading chicks every day
• Mortality open & diagnose problems
• Tem control most important
