Broiler Farming
At commercial level
Open shed
Control Sheds
Openshed vs Controlshed
Control shedOpen shed
Most of the things are automatic.Every thing manual
Construction cost very much high.Construction cost very low
Production satisfiedProduction 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
Disadvantages
Because 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 shed
Advantages
• 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.
• Feeders waterer &
nipples wash with
detergents (surf) carefully
• Floor walls pillars with
simple water
• This method repeat 3-4
times for every thing &
then take sample
• Clean the bazar by sweep
• Pads & fans also wash
out after 4 washes
complete
• If sample pass out then
white wash on pillars &
walls
• Then spray of formalin
inside the shed on
every thing
• Litter mix with formalin
put in shallow , Turn on
feed lines
• Normal 25 lit/800 lit of
water
Setting of shed
• Set wateres & feeders
put feeding trays in
sequence
• Level the litter
• Chick guard according
to no of chicks &
required area
• 1sq f/10chicks
• Also cull pen separately
• Check nipples feeder
lines fan pads each &
every thing
• After that Litter on floor
• Spray on the litter
• Airtight every thing
• Now Fumigation for 24
hr.
Pinky (KMnO4) + Formalin
1 : 2
• White wash side of sheds
at entry of farm
• Dips filled with water
&mix pinky before
receiving the chicks
vehicles
• Dr.`s , Workers clothes
,shoes wash with formalin
• After 24hr open main
door of shed
2.Selection of chicks
Must be careful In selection
• Chicks from standardize
company e,g Big bird , A
W Chicks , K&Ns
Islamabad etc .
• Economically suitable
• “A” grade chicks some
conditions “B” grade
• Must be known either
Hubbard or Arber Acer
Receiving of chicks
• Chicks packed in cartoons
80/cartoon in summer
with 2 % extra and 100 in
winter with 2 % extra
• Formalin spray chicks
vehicle externally
• Check every cartoon at
shed & count randomly 3
to 4 cartoons
• Check quality of chicks &
wt. 37-41 g ideal day old
chicks
COMMERCIAL SCALE
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

4.Growing to Finishing
(10-42days)
• Now no need of brooder
• Feed according to
sequence add 4 g per day
even 160 -165g
• Racking start at 8 or 9 day
when see litter flaking
• Wet litter Change
frequently
• In summer ,last days tem
and RH difficult to control
• As required guard area
extended
• Light off duration 13day
to onward
2 hr from 12-2am
5.Catching & sale
• Catching start after 2am
• Feeding during sale
days depend upon
either you sale empty
or full crop
• Sale also very imp
aspect
• Sale the birds direct to
butcher or sale man.
