The document provides information on slaughtering and butchering processes from selecting animals, handling before slaughter, slaughtering steps for different animals like pigs, cattle, goats and sheep, requirements for slaughterhouses, and definitions of meat industry terms. It describes the various stages of slaughter from fasting and stunning animals, bleeding, skinning or scalding, evisceration, washing, chilling and cutting carcasses into retail cuts. It also outlines principles for selecting animals and compares slaughter methods between species.
Basics of Layer Poultry Farming
All of the above poultry-keeping methods are used in the developing world,but the majority of the enterprises are backyard poultry and farm flock production. The poultry and egg sectors are highly fragmented. Most of the production is carried out by a large number of farmers, each with a very small flock. The greater part of produce is sold in markets close to the farms.
Day-old chicks are usually obtained from local hatcheries licensed by international hybrid breeding companies. Farmers or cooperatives of farmers may choose between varieties of chickens for egg production and meat production.
The small chicks can be either naturally or artificially brooded. If artificially brooded, small chicks must be placed in a separate house from laying chickens and it is necessary to protect the chicks from predators, diseases and catching colds.
This stage of brooding lasts for eight weeks. In the first four weeks of life, small chicks need to be housed in a brooding box. Some typical types of brooders are shown below and on the previous page.
Typically, a layer’s production cycle lasts just over a year (52-56 weeks). During the production cycle many factors influence egg production; therefore, the cycle must be managed effectively and efficiently in order to provide maximum output and profitability.

FACTORS AFFECTING EGG PRODUCTION, UNEVEN GROWTH IN LAYERSPVNRTVU, College of Veterinary Science,Rajendranagar, Telangana, India
The document discusses environmental factors that affect egg production in laying hens. It identifies 11 key factors: 1) climate, 2) nutrition, 3) shelter/housing, 4) health, 5) management, 6) lighting schedule, 7) feed, 8) age, 9) body weight, 10) laying house, and 11) vaccination and disease control. Proper management of these environmental factors through practices like providing adequate shelter, feed, lighting schedules, and vaccination is necessary to maximize egg production and profitability over a hen's 52-56 week production cycle.Guinea fowl farming
This document discusses rearing guinea fowl, a bird native to Africa that is raised for both meat and eggs. It describes guinea fowl's hardiness and disease resistance compared to other poultry. There are three main varieties - pearl, lavender, and white - as well as hybrids. Guinea fowl reach sexual maturity later than chickens, lay fewer eggs per year, and have lower productivity overall but richer meat. Their management requires less intensive housing and feeding than other poultry due to their foraging ability but still benefits from standard brooding and feeding practices. Guinea fowl have higher innate disease resistance than other poultry.
Poultry response, behavior and thermoregulation under heat stress
This document discusses the effects of heat stress on the thermoregulation and response of poultry such as broilers and layer hens. It defines heat stress and outlines the normal body temperature and thermal neutral zone for poultry. It then explains how poultry use thermoregulation to maintain their body temperature under heat stress conditions through behaviors like reducing activity and feed intake as well as physiological responses like increased respiration and diverting blood flow. The conclusion emphasizes that heat stress is a major challenge for poultry production in hot climates and understanding their thermoregulation and responses can help improve management practices.
Moulting in birds
Moulting is the periodic replacement of feathers by shedding old feathers while producing new ones. Adult birds moult at least once per year, and some moult twice or three times per year. The main factors that cause moulting are physical exhaustion, completion of the laying cycle, and reduction in day length. Moulting is a gradual process where birds rarely shed all feathers at once to maintain temperature regulation and repel moisture. Forced moulting of commercial hens involves withdrawing food and water for 7-14 days to cause weight loss and stimulate feather loss to restart egg production, while natural moulting is slower and more erratic.
Poultry breeding
- There is an urgent need to evaluate Pakistan's poultry biodiversity and compile available data for future scientific and biotechnological applications in food production.
- To achieve this, trained experts in conservation biology and genetics must be developed. The latest genetic tools like DNA profiling can help conserve genetic resources efficiently.
- Active involvement of various stakeholders like the government, research institutions, private sector and poultry community is essential. Systematic efforts should be made to assess indigenous breeds, compile databases, and apply conservation principles to maintain genetic diversity.

It discusses how adaptations allow organisms to survive in their habitat and that different habitats require different adaptations. Examples are given of adaptations for movement, communication, regulating body temperature, being diurnal/nocturnal, camouflage, escaping predation, and effective hunting in various marine species. Students are then instructed to work in groups, receive a habitat and predator/prey card, research examples, and design their own adapted species.
Inherited traits-and-learned-behaviors
This document discusses the differences between inherited traits and learned behaviors. It provides examples of common inherited traits like eye color and hair color that are passed down from parents to offspring. Inherited behaviors are instincts, like animals preparing for winter. Learned behaviors are acquired through observation, experience, and practice, such as learning to skateboard or use a computer. Both humans and animals can learn new behaviors that are not inherited.
Mitosis lesson 1 revised
Cells are the basic unit of life and all living things are made of cells. Cells contain DNA, which carries the genetic code and acts as the blueprint for organisms. Cells come from pre-existing cells and reproduce through cell division, either mitosis or meiosis. Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells and has six stages: interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis.
Weathering and erosion
This document outlines 5 weathering lab stations that investigate different weathering processes: station 1 looks at the effect of water on rock; station 2 examines how freezing water affects materials; station 3 analyzes how warm and room temperature acid affects copper pennies; station 4 determines how water impacts the surface area of antacid tablets; and station 5 observes the effect of gravel on sugar cubes.
12 s070502 e_erosion and deposition ppt
Erosion is the process by which rock material is detached and transported from one location to another by forces like wind, water, ice or gravity. There are several types of erosion including wind erosion, water erosion, wave erosion, gravitational erosion and glacial erosion. Deposition occurs when the transported material can no longer be carried by the force and settles in a new location. Deposition happens through processes like decreasing wind speed, slowing water flow or melting ice. Erosion and deposition work together to continuously change the landscape over time as material is worn down and rebuilt in other areas.

12 s070502 b_weathering ppt
This document discusses two main types of weathering - mechanical and chemical weathering. Mechanical weathering breaks rock down physically into smaller pieces without changing the chemical composition, such as through ice wedging, exfoliation, thermal expansion, and biotic processes. Chemical weathering breaks rock down through chemical reactions that alter the chemical composition of minerals, such as oxidation and carbonation which involve reactions with oxygen and carbon dioxide respectively. Both types of weathering are the first step in forming soil and sedimentary rock.

It then details the steps of the dissection, identifying and describing the functions of the quail's major external features and internal organs. The dissection demonstrates how the quail is adapted as an omnivore to eat seeds and insects. It also stresses the importance of habitat preservation for maintaining healthy quail populations.
Quail intro notes
The northern bobwhite quail is a small ground-dwelling bird that lives in open grasslands, fields, and forest edges. It eats mostly seeds and insects. Bobwhite quail live in small groups called coveys and sleep together in a tight circle at night for protection. During breeding season from May to September, the male establishes a territory where the female builds a nest and lays 6-18 eggs. Chick survival is low, with only about 30% making it to their first year due to predators and habitat loss from agriculture and development.
