This document discusses brooding management for raising baby chicks. It covers the objectives of brooding, types of brooders, preparing the brooding area, and the importance of environment control. Natural brooding involves using broody hens, while artificial brooding uses equipment like heat sources, reflectors, and guards. Different heating sources and brooder types are described. Optimal brooding temperatures and the importance of ventilation and humidity control are also outlined. Feeding, vaccination, and general chick care procedures during the brooding period are provided.
Brooding is the process of caring for young chicks through providing optimal environmental conditions after hatching until they are 3-4 weeks old. It involves controlling temperature, humidity, ventilation, lighting, sanitation and other factors to allow for the proper growth and development of young chicks. Brooding can be done naturally with a broody hen or artificially using a brooder, which is a poultry house fitted with heating equipment to deliver controlled heat. Different types of brooders include hover, infrared, electric, gas, incandescent, and coal brooders. Careful management of brooding conditions and practices is important for chick health and survival.
This document provides an overview of broiler management practices from receiving day-old chicks to harvest. It discusses pre-arrival management including housing preparation through disinfection. It emphasizes the importance of an all-in, all-out production system and details best practices for receiving chicks, maintaining optimal house environment, brooder management, nutrition, vaccination schedules, and carcass disposal. The goal of broiler management is to implement efficient practices that maximize production and profits while minimizing disease risks through the 8-week grow-out period.
Broiler production involves breeding chickens specifically for meat. Broiler farms have advantages like a short rearing period of 35 days and high return on initial investment. Important considerations for site selection include access to roads, electricity, water, and adequate ventilation. Essential equipment includes feeders, drinkers, weighing scales, and brooders. Proper cleaning and disinfection of sheds between flocks is important for bird health. Brooding young chicks requires maintaining optimal temperature and lighting conditions, as well as gradually increasing space per bird as they grow.
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
Layer poultry farming means raising egg laying poultry birds for the purpose of commercial egg production. Layer chickens are such a special species of hens, which need to be raised from when they are one day old. They start laying eggs commercially from 18-19 weeks of age.
This is an essential tool for poultry management. Lighting is the unavoidable management practice for successful poultry rearing. Present ppt prepared based on the basic rule of light required for chicken with practical aspect. I hoped students will be benefited with this presentation.

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

Brooding is the process of caring for baby chicks until they are able to regulate their own body temperature. It involves providing artificial heat, food, water and maintaining proper temperatures and ventilation. Chicks require temperatures between 90-95°F for the first week, gradually decreasing the temperature each subsequent week. Feeders and waterers should be arranged under the brooder heat source. Curtains may be used to control drafts and humidity should be maintained at 50-60%. Monitoring chick behavior provides clues to ensuring an optimal brooding environment.
Turkey farming is an important industry in India, particularly in southern states like Kerala and Tamil Nadu. There are three main varieties of turkeys farmed in India - Broad Breasted Bronze, Broad Breasted White, and Beltsville Small White. Turkey meat is leaner than other poultry. Farming practices include artificial incubation, brooding of poults using heat lamps, and both free range and intensive rearing systems. Turkeys mature at around 16 weeks and are ready for market. Females begin laying eggs at 30 weeks of age. Turkey meat is low in fat and cholesterol but high in protein and minerals.

It also discusses poultry breeds, classification of poultry, egg science and technology, incubation and hatching processes, brooding of chicks, and management practices for growers and layers. Key aspects of poultry farm layout and the importance of biosecurity are also covered.
This document provides information on broiler and layer management. It discusses the key phases of growth for broilers and layers, important commercial strains, nutritional and housing requirements, disease prevention through vaccination, and record keeping. For broilers, it outlines management practices for the starter, finisher, and withdrawal diet phases. For layers, it describes housing, lighting schedules for in-season and out-season pullets, and vaccination schedules. Record keeping is important for both to track performance metrics.
Duck farming is an important part of the poultry industry in India, accounting for about 10% of the total poultry population. Ducks are prolific layers, producing 15-20 more eggs than backyard chickens on average. They are also hardy birds that can supplement their diet through foraging, reducing feed costs. Major duck breeds farmed in India include Khaki Campbell, White Pekin, Indian Runner, and Muscovy ducks. Ducks can be reared extensively or semi-intensively and provide both eggs and meat. Proper housing, feeding, and disease prevention are important for successful duck farming.
This document discusses brooding management for chicks in their first week of life. It covers the aims of brooding including maintaining body temperature and growth. Natural and artificial brooding systems are described. Quality chick requirements like activity level and weight are outlined. Pre-brooding preparation and requirements during brooding like temperature, lighting, feeders and drinkers are also reviewed. Litter management and a sample medication program are provided. The key goals of brooding success by 7 days are less than 0.5% mortality and 4.5 times the initial chick weight.
Brooding involves rearing baby chicks and requires careful management of temperature, ventilation, water quality, feed availability, and lighting. There are two types of brooding: natural brooding uses broody hens while artificial brooding uses specialized equipment like infrared bulbs, gas or electric brooders, and battery cages. Proper brooding management is essential for chick health, growth, and survival into later life.

Finally, it discusses models for cooperative chick, meat, and egg sales through coordinated production and marketing.
Production of Specific Pathogen Free and Gnotobiotic animalsRameswar Panda
In laboratory animals, maintaining the health status in very alarming situations very difficult. Both SPF and Gnotobiotic animals have laboratory significance for which their management is a valid aspect.
Vaccination schedule of animals and poultryRameswar Panda
Vaccination is a preventive measure for controlling the disease outbreak. To be the vaccination a successful one, the components of vaccination program should be strictly followed. Vaccination aid is not available for all the diseases, rather for the disease which is contagious and causes a havoc
This document classifies livestock feed and forages into several categories: cultivated fodder including green/succulent, dry, and supplements/additives; natural vegetation including grasslands, pasture, and trees; concentrates that are rich in carbohydrates, protein, or both moderate; and roughages versus concentrates based on their crude fiber and nutrient content. It further categorizes roughages into maintenance type for cereal fodder and hay, production type for leguminous fodder and hay, and sustenance type for straw and stovers based on their digestible crude protein percentage.
This document summarizes several common breeds of ducks. It divides ducks into meat, egg, and ornamental types and describes the key characteristics of popular breeds like Pekin, Aylesbury, Muscovy, Rouen, Cayuga, Khaki Campbell, Indian Runner, and some ornamental and Indian breeds. The Pekin is one of the most popular breeds worldwide, originating from China. It is efficient and lays around 160 eggs. The Muscovy is native to South America and males are twice the female size and have distinctive knobs on their heads. Indian Runner ducks come in white, fawn, and penciled varieties and can lay up to 250 eggs while foraging outside all day
For better poultry farming, cognizance about different breeds should be important. To go either layer or broiler farming, breeds are the considerable factors. All are differentiated in terms of their geographical distribution, utility, colour etc.
Advances in vitamin & mineral nutrition in livestockRameswar Panda
feeding management cannot be ignored under any circumstances. This presentation depicts the tangential and burning points related to the role and significance of Vitamins and minerals for the livestock
Housing of wild animals is as essential as that of livestock species. The matter is so deepening in terms of its conservation especially in the context of India
The document summarizes several milch (dairy) cattle breeds found in India, including Gir, Sahiwal, Red Sindhi, and Deoni. It provides details on the origins, appearance, milk production capabilities, and reproductive characteristics of each breed. On average, Gir cows produce the most milk at 3,175 kg per lactation period, while Sindhi cows are the most economical producers. The breeds vary in traits like size, coloration, milk yield, temperament, and suitability for different climates and work.
In India, as not much of attention is paid so far as to this important aspect- animal housing, we find different types of animal houses constructed without careful planning and designing.
Livestock sector is an important sector in indian economy. To boost the productive performance of existing livestock population in india, biotechnolgy plays a key role to fullfill this.
The matter is not how the horses are transported, it is the welfare aspect of the horses which are to be taken in to account. There are legal frameworks in European countries regarding horse transportation which were effective from january 2007. In india also the transportation is legalized. there is a rule called Animal transport rules act. 1978, under which there are 6 schedules. and among them schedule 5 bears the transportation rules of horses.
Rfid a modern technique in animal identificationRameswar Panda
Radio frequency identification (RFID) is an efficient animal identification technology that uses radio waves to identify and track animals. RFID systems consist of transponders attached to animals, transceivers to read the transponders, and a computer system to store identification data. RFID ear tags, rumen boluses, and microchips implanted under the skin are common methods to attach transponders to animals. RFID technologies help automate dairy farm operations like weighing, milking, and health monitoring of individual animals. Standards like ISO 11784 and 11785 regulate RFID frequencies and transponder coding to ensure compatibility worldwide.
Ruminant livestock like cattle can produce a significant amount of methane per day, contributing to global warming. Many factors influence the methane emissions from cattle, including their diet and the addition of certain feeds. Manipulating these factors through mitigation strategies can help reduce the methane losses from cattle. A variety of techniques exist to measure methane emissions from individual animals or groups, both in indoor and outdoor enclosures, to help identify ways to decrease cattle's contributions to atmospheric methane levels.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!
Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdfBen Linders
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.

5wks.
• To Prevent cold shock.
• Hypothalamus is not well
developed.
• 2 systems of brooding.
1. Hot room brooding- central
heating device is used.
2. Cold room brooding- heating
the area only under brooder
canopy. Used mostly in tropical
countries for both layers and
broilers
3. CANOPY BROODING
• Use of Incandescent light.
• Hover made up off metal of
bamboo basket
• 1-2 watt/chick light requirement

basket of diameter 90 cm for 250
chicks.
• Brooder/chick guard- height 30
cm
• Encircles the hover at a distance
of 30-60 cm.
• Chick guard- GI pipe or metal
4. Contd….
• Circles enlarged at
2nd week.
• During 2nd week,
chick guard is
replaced to corner of
the pen.
• By 3rd week, it is
removed entirely.
5. INFRARED BROODING
• 150 and 250 watt infrared
bulbs are available for 100-
250 chicks.
• The infrared bulb should be
hung 25-30 cm above the
litter floor.
• Infrared light has germicidal
effect.
• Infrared light helps in the
synthesis of Vit-D.
• It reduces cannibalism.
6. BATTERY BROODING
• More than 60% of all
commercial layers are
brooded and reared in
cages.
• Coccidiosis is less frequent.
• It consists of 4-5 batteries
each having a heating space
comprising 1/4th of total
area.
7. • The heating unit has
electric heater
having a thermostat.
• For the first 3 days
paper is spread on
the mesh flooring.
11. BROODER/CHICK GUARD
• 5 feet diameter chick
guard should be used.
• Height of the brooder
should not be more
than 1.5feet.
12. PREPARATION OF BROODER HOUSE
• 3-4 weeks interval should
be given between two
successive batches.
• 5 feet diameter chick guard
can accommodate 200-250
chicks.
• Litter material should be
spread about 2’’ height.
13. Contd….
• Feeder and waterer should
be arranged alternatively
like cartwheel manner.
• The brooder heating source
should be switched on
several hours before the
arrival of chicks
• Ground maize should be
spread over the old news
paper for 1 to 2 days
14. Contd….
• Electrolyte solution, glucose
and vitamin in the drinking
water is provided for first 2-
3 days.
• Brooder temperature 90-95
F is maintained in first week
and decreases 5 F per every
week until the room
temperature
15.
16. • Old news paper
should be
removed after 3
days of brooding.
• 24 hr light for 0-8
wks.
18. LOCATION OF BROODER HOUSE
Distance between
brooder house and
other poultry houses
should not be more
than 100 m.
19. ALL-IN-ALL-OUT SYSTEM OF REARING
• All the chicks should be
in same age groups.
• The age difference
between the oldest and
youngest ones should
not more than 7days.
25. • Up to 8 wks, floor space
requirement in layer
chicks is 700 square cm.
26. DEBEAKING
• Done in chicks at the
age of 1 day to 6 wks.
• Repeated again at
about 16 wks of age.
• Upper mandible beak
to be cut at about 1/3rd
distance
27. DUBBING
• Removal of comb
• Done in day old
chicks.
• Done in breeds
having larger combs.
30. UNABSORBED YOLK SAC
• Feeding immediately after
hatching causes this
condition.
• The presence of yolk during
the first 14 days should not
be considered as
importance.
• Overheating can be
problem for lower yolk
absorption.
