The document provides information about broiler chicken management practices over a 5 week period for 25 birds. It details the arrival of the chicks, management practices including feeding, lighting and health, performance metrics like weight gain and feed conversion ratio. Some problems encountered were fatigue in hot weather. After processing, the dressing percentage and costs/profits were calculated. The summary found that management of broilers over 5 weeks resulted in average weight gain, acceptable feed conversion ratio and mortality, and a small profit per bird. Room for improvement includes reducing heat stress and better feed palatability.

7. Management of Broilers
1)Cage preparation
 Cleaning- pen and other equipment
 Dusting/ Web removal
 Disinfection done 3 days before arrival of
chicks
 New litter material add
 Equipment testing
 Arrival of chicks

8. 2)Brooding management
 Paddy husk was added to the cages as a litter (thickness of
the paddy husk- 3to 5 cm)
 Adjust the lighting system
- Provide light whole day during the brooding period

9. 3) Space requirement
Total cage area = 25ft2
Number of birds=25
Space per bird = 25ft2/25= 1ft2
Space required for one bird is satisfied in this cage .

10. FeedersDrinkers
4)Feeders and Drinkers

11. Feeders and drinkers were adjusted to the
bird’s back height

12. 5) Litter management
 Paddy husks were used as litter materials. At the
first day 5cm deep litter was prepared; with the
growth of the birds litter depth was also
increased.
 Stir the litter daily to avoid cake formation.
 Replace wet litter around the drinkers.
 Remove the full litter twice a week.
 25-30% moisture content is ideal

13. To control temperature
13
•As the heat source in the pen 60W bulb
was used
•Brooding period – whole day
•After Brooding –only at night
6)Lighting

14. 7)Administration of medicine
Vitamin B administration with water.
 Coccid administration with water to control
the coccidiosis.
Chick tonic supply
as a liquid dietary
supplement.

 Mortality percentage=
(No. of deaths/ Total no. of
birds)*100
=3/25*100
=12%

40. Problems
 Fatigue or Stress among birds
• Due to higher growth rate of broilers, they
show fatigue in high temperatures.
• Also the high humid condition in tropical
climate increases that.
• Special care should be taken:
 Provision of cool water frequently.
 During day time remove the artificial light provided in
the cage.
 Supply vitamins according to the needs of the birds.
 Supply enough space for birds.

 Price of 1 kg of meat = Rs. 425.00
 Mean meat weight of chicken = 1.762+1.675
2
= 1.7185 kg
 Total meat weight = 1.7185*22
= 37.807 kg
 Total income = 37.807*425
= Rs 16,067.97
Profit calculation
Profit = Total income – total cost
= Rs 16,067.97 – Rs 12,575.1
= Rs 3,492.87
