The document describes the six key segments of broiler chicken production: 1) broiler breeders, 2) hatcheries, 3) grow-out farms, 4) processing plants, 5) feed mills, and 6) animal health. It provides details on broiler breeders, hatcheries, and grow-out farms, explaining the role of each in the rearing and incubation of chicks. Hatcheries incubate and hatch eggs, while grow-out farms raise the chickens to market weight before processing.

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.
A broiler management course is a program designed to educate farmers, poultry producers, and other interested individuals on the best practices for managing broiler chickens. Broiler chickens are raised for meat production and require specialized care to ensure their growth, health, and well-being. The course typically covers various aspects of broiler management, including housing, feeding, health management, and disease prevention. It may also cover topics such as breeding, hatching, and marketing of broiler chickens. Participants in a broiler management course will learn about the different types of broiler housing and the best practices for managing temperature, ventilation, and lighting to ensure optimal growth and production. They will also learn about the various types of broiler feed and how to formulate a balanced diet that meets the nutritional requirements of broiler chickens. Health management is a critical aspect of broiler management, and the course will cover topics such as biosecurity measures, vaccination programs, and disease diagnosis and treatment. Participants will learn how to recognize common health problems in broiler chickens and how to implement preventative measures to keep their flocks healthy. Marketing is also an important aspect of broiler management, and the course may cover topics such as market analysis, pricing strategies, and distribution channels. Overall, a broiler management course provides participants with the knowledge and skills needed to raise healthy, productive broiler chickens, and to operate a successful broiler farming business.
Incubation is the act of bringing an egg to hatching. It refers to the process by which certain oviparous ( egg-laying) animals (birds) hatch their egg. It also refers to the development of an embryo within the egg under favourable environmental condition. Incubating chicken eggs is a 21- days process and demands favourable conditions of principal affecting factors like temperature, humidity etc., Incubation may be of two different types: 1. Natural Incubation 2. Artificial Incubation

Poultry production systems refer to the different ways that poultry (chickens, turkeys, ducks, etc.) are raised and managed for their meat, eggs, or both. The two primary poultry production systems are conventional and alternative systems.
Conventional poultry production systems involve raising large numbers of birds in indoor confinement with controlled environments, such as temperature, ventilation, and lighting. The birds are often kept in cages or on the floor, and their feed, water, and lighting are controlled. This system aims to maximize production efficiency and minimize costs.
Alternative poultry production systems, on the other hand, aim to provide a more natural and humane environment for the birds. These systems can include free-range, organic, or pasture-based systems, where the birds have access to the outdoors and are allowed to exhibit natural behaviors, such as foraging for food. These systems often require more labor and management compared to conventional systems, but they can provide benefits such as improved animal welfare and enhanced product quality.
Poultry production systems can also vary depending on the purpose of production, such as meat, eggs, or breeding. For example, meat birds are typically raised in a broiler production system, while laying hens are raised in a layer production system. Breeder birds, which are used for producing eggs for hatching and raising the next generation of birds, are raised in a breeder production system.
Overall, the type of poultry production system used depends on various factors, such as production goals, market demands, and available resources.
How to Split Bills in the Odoo 17 POS ModuleCeline George
Bills have a main role in point of sale procedure. It will help to track sales, handling payments and giving receipts to customers. Bill splitting also has an important role in POS. For example, If some friends come together for dinner and if they want to divide the bill then it is possible by POS bill splitting. This slide will show how to split bills in odoo 17 POS.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

b) The hatchery consists of incubation equipment responsible for
maintaining ideal environmental conditions for embryo
development.
1) Setter/Incubator
2) Hatcher
8. Setter/Incubator
- Fertile eggs are incubated in the
setter for 18 days.
- The setter provides ideal
temperature and humidity conditions
for embryo development.
- The eggs are stored on trays that
are secured to incubator racks.
- The setter also rotates eggs to
ensure proper orientation of the
developing embryo in the egg.
9. Hatcher
- After 18 days in the setter, eggs are
transferred from trays to hatching
baskets and are moved to the hatcher.
- The hatcher provides ideal
temperature and humidity for late-stage
embryo development and hatching.
- Unlike the setter, the hatcher does not
rotate eggs.
-The chicks hatch after 3 days in the
hatcher, resulting in a total incubation
period of 21 days.
- While in the egg, chicks use their beak
to break out of the shell, a process
referred to as pipping.
- Chicks are damp when the exit the
shell, or hatch, and the warm
temperature in the hatcher plays an
important role in drying the chick and
maintaining their body temperature.
