Broiler Brooding Management
Genetic progress over the last 10 years has steadily improved broiler economic performance. One component of this is growth potential which has increased each year by 60 grams at six weeks of age. In order to achieve a standard processing weight (of e.g. 2kg), the age at which a flock of broilers are killed has fallen by, on average, 1 day per year over this time. Birds of 2kg that were killed at 49 days in 1988 are now killed at 39 days.
The consequence of this change is that the brooding period now takes up a much bigger proportion of the whole growing period and is more important in the final performance of the flock. Over the same 10 year period, the equipment used in brooding and starting chickens has changed, and some of these changes have significant consequences for the well-being of the day-old chick.
Our customers have become more focussed on the predictability of performance and uniformity of the product at all stages, especially in the processing plant. Many features of broiler management can affect uniformity and, in some cases, small changes in management technique can make a previously unimportant factor critical (e.g. the need for more feeding space once feed intake control is initiated) This Ross Tech is aimed at encouraging better general management and especially brooding management for broiler flocks, to improve performance and uniformity
Broiler Brooding - 7day weight
This document discusses ways to improve 7-day weights in broiler chicks through management and dietary actions. Key management actions include maintaining optimal brooding temperatures and humidity, providing adequate litter, feed availability, and light. Dietary actions focus on using highly digestible pre-starter feeds fortified with additives like organic acids, phytogenics, hydrolyzed proteins, animal plasma, and enzymes to support gastrointestinal development in young chicks. Achieving a 7-day weight of 180g or more through these actions can lead to increased final body weights and improved performance.
Brooding temperature practices of the broilers
Brooding involves providing artificial heat to young chicks using brooders. It is necessary because chicks lack full thermoregulation and cannot maintain their body temperature in the first 1-2 weeks. The goals of brooding are to accelerate growth, develop organs, encourage uniformity, and maximize genetic potential while improving health. Common brooding methods include pancake brooders, furnace brooders, and radiant brooders. Proper brooding temperatures should start at 90°F day one and decrease weekly until 70°F at 5 weeks. Precise temperature control is important as chicks cannot self-regulate in whole-house systems. Partial housing can save on fuel but needs adequate space and should be expanded after one week. Bro
Poultry housing
Poultry housing is needed because modern chickens have fast growth rates and high egg production, making it difficult for them to regulate their body temperature in extreme environments. The body temperature of adult chickens is between 105-107°F, while newly hatched chicks have a temperature of about 103°F. Panting is one mechanism chickens use to maintain their body temperature when heat cannot be dissipated through other means. Proper ventilation and environmental controls are necessary in poultry housing to keep chickens comfortable and productive.

Art and science of rearing the newly hatched baby chicks
Care and management of young chicks for the first 3-5 weeks is called Brooding
Chick embryo immediately after few of hatching – Poikilothermic
Adult birds are Homeotherms
Chicken are PRECOCIAL (Young ones are relatively mature and mobile from the moment of birth)
Young ones have hair (down feathers), open eyes, developed brain and capable of walking
Average body temperature of newly hatched chick – 103.5ºF
Adult chicken – 105-108ºF
BROODING EQUIPMENT
1. Brooder – Heat source (gas, coal, IR bulbs, incandescent bulbs, kerosene or electrical stove)
2. Reflectors – canopy or flat type
3. Brooder / chick guard - GI sheet or card board sheet or asbestos sheet of 1.5’ height and 5, diameter is sufficient for 200-250 chicks
DEEP LITTER BROODING
Materials required
Brooder guard or chick guard
Brooder (heat source) – gas or electric bulbs or coal
Litter or bedding material – 100 kg per 1000 Sq.Ft
Old newspapers
Chick waterers
Chick feeders or trays
Thermometer
Lights
Side curtains
CAGE BROODING
• Battery brooding cages with electrical bulbs
• Gas brooders/ room heaters
• Use of circulating fans to distribute the warm air
• Gas brooders can be hanged in between the cages at a height of 9’ from the floor level with 3-4’ distance b/w the brooders
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS FOR BROODING
Temperature
Brooding is carried out 0-8 weeks in case of layers and 0-2 weeks in case of broiler birds. Heating is very much essential to provide right temperature in the brooder house. Too high or too low a temperature slows down growth and causes mortality. During the first week the temperature should be 95ºF (350 C), which may be reduced by 5º F per week during each successive week till 70ºF (21.10 C). The brooder should be switched on for at least 24 hours before the chicks arrive. Hanging of a maximum and minimum thermometer in each house is recommended to have a guide to control over the differences in the house temperature.
• 1st Week – 90-95º F
• 2nd week – 85-90º F
• 3rd week – 80-85º F
• 4th week - 75-80º F
• 5th week – 75º F
The behaviour of chicks provides better indication of whether they are getting the desired amount of heat.
When the temperature is less than required, the chicks try to get closer to the source of heat and huddle down under the brooder.
When the temperature is too high, the chicks will get away from the source of heat and may even pant or gasp.
When temperature is right, the chicks will be found evenly scattered.
Ventilation
• HDPE curtains should be hanged @ on the mesh
• Leaving one feet distance from the roof to provide cross ventilation
Humidity
Brooder house humidity ranges from 50-60 per cent. High humidity creates the problem of wet litter which leads to coccidiosis and low humidity causes dusty litter resulting in respiratory problems.
Lighting
• 0 - 14d – 24 hrs
• 3 - 5 wks – 22 hrs
• 6 –
Incubation
The document provides guidelines for maintaining optimal incubation temperature, humidity, ventilation, and moisture levels for hatching eggs. Key points include:
- Maintain an incubation temperature of 99-102°F, with 100-101°F ideal, measured at egg level. Overheating damages embryos more than underheating.
- Humidity should be 50-55% for most of incubation, rising to 60-65% for the final 3 days to aid hatching. Moisture is provided by a water pan under the eggs.
- Ventilation increases as incubation progresses, with vents fully open the last 3 days to allow gas exchange while maintaining proper humidity.
Tu heat eng
Heat stress can significantly impact the productivity of poultry flocks. The thermoneutral zone for chickens is 18-25°C, above which heat loss mechanisms are less effective and birds rely more on evaporative cooling. When temperatures exceed the thermoneutral zone, birds must expend more energy to maintain normal body temperature, diverting energy away from growth and production. High temperatures combined with high humidity further increase heat stress on birds. Proper management of ventilation, drinking water, and feeding can help mitigate negative impacts of heat stress on performance.
Egg Incubators - How They Work and What to Look For When Shopping For One
Egg incubators work to imitate the natural incubation process of hens by maintaining consistent temperature and humidity levels and periodically turning the eggs. Proper ventilation and temperature control help prevent issues like excess moisture in the shell. Incubators come in various sizes for different production needs, from small home models to large commercial cabinets. Automated features like temperature regulation, humidity control, and egg turning mechanisms take the manual labor out of incubation. Incubators provide an efficient way to hatch eggs and sustain stock without relying on hens to naturally incubate eggs.
Commercial Egg Production Guide
Most people who are involved in commercial egg production,have seen management guides for different strains of layers before and may think “if you have seen one, you’ve seen them all”. Others take the contents more seriously and expect frequent updates to find specific data which apply to the current generation of layers and current management practices.
Newcomers in the business may need more detailed explanations than can be presented in this compact format.
We hope that each reader will find some useful information,to confirm proven management practices or to stimulate improvements.

Case study on low body weights, reasons and corrective measures in broilers.pptPVNRTVU, College of Veterinary Science,Rajendranagar, Telangana, India
This document discusses reasons for low body weights in broilers and corrective measures. It covers several key factors that impact broiler growth and productivity including brooding management, house temperature, humidity, ventilation, lighting, litter quality, and stocking density. Effective brooding management and maintaining optimal temperatures, humidity, ventilation and other conditions allow broilers to efficiently convert feed into growth rather than using calories for temperature regulation.Broiler farming
This document provides information on broiler farming practices for open sheds and controlled sheds. It discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each system. Controlled sheds have higher construction and running costs but allow for more automatic control of feeding, watering, temperature, and humidity. They result in higher weight gain and feed conversion rates. Open sheds have lower costs but require more manual labor and do not allow as much control, resulting in more variable production outcomes.

Key recommendations include preheating the house to 30°C, providing feed and water immediately upon placement, gradually expanding brooding space, and monitoring chick behavior to ensure proper environmental conditions. The goal is to promote early feeding and drinking to achieve target growth performance and welfare.
Poultry w-bakker_minimum_ventelation
1. Minimum ventilation is important for broiler chickens in the first few weeks to guarantee fresh air, optimal growth, and organ development. It uses still air or very low air speeds to avoid chilling the chicks.
2. There are different ventilation systems used depending on the age of the chickens and outdoor temperatures, ranging from minimum ventilation for young chicks to tunnel ventilation for older birds to control heat.
3. Key factors for minimum ventilation systems include air exchange rate, pressure drop across inlets, and uniform air distribution without excess cooling of the chicks. This helps optimize health, growth and final performance of the flock.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.
