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.

After brooding stage, grower stage happens to every poultry species. many parallel manage-mental events is undertaken to make the birds good layers. feeding is the most essential part in this stage
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.
Poultry housing and equipment are needed for comfort, protection and efficient production. Housing is an important non-recurring capital investment in poultry farming. Hence economy must be kept in mind while providing housing
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.

Modern hybrid layers can be reared successfully in floor and cage brooding systems in developing countries. However, they need more careful management than village chicks, which are better able to cope with temperature fluctuations.
Prior to chick arrival, it is important to clean and disinfect the cages or the floor brooding area. The brooders should be set up the day before delivery, at 34 to 36 °C for cage brooding or 35 to 36 °C for floor brooding. Drinkers need to be full or the drinking system in operation, to encourage birds to drink. If nipple drinkers are used, the water pressure should be reduced so that birds can see the drop of water hanging on the drinker. Feed should be placed on paper if birds are reared in cages. Feeders on the floor should be filled and kept under high light intensity for 20 to 22 hours per day for the first week, to attract the birds.
Quails are smaller sized bird, so they can be raised within small place.
Quails grow very fast and gain maturity faster than any other poultry birds. Adult broiler quail weights around 210 gm at 4 weeks of age.
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.
In the winter, the temperature goes down and the chickens need to be sheltered from extreme cold. One should provide them with heat lamps, a heated waterer, and a heated feeder. Also, one should make sure that they have enough food and water.
Winter management in poultry is important for both broiler farms and backyard poultry owners.

Flushing with glucose solution, 2 hour after de-
worming.
45. Nests
Space 1x1x1.2 Feet for each 4 hens
Place nest 1 week before start of egg production,
to get pullets accustomed to them.
Use dry litter material in nests. Regularly clean or
change litter
47. Nests
Community Nests.
One for 25 hens.
Roll Away Nests.
Wire bottom is sloped so that eggs roll to a
compartment at the back.

50. Multiple tier stacked cages
A fully stacked (without offset) system with
either manure scrapers or a manure belt
removal system.
This arrangement allows the most efficient use
of floor space with number of tiers.
51.
52. Increased egg production up to 2-3 eggs/ hen.
Labor saving.
Pecking & cannibalism minimized.
Better flock supervision & maintenance.
Less broodiness.
53. Egg handling
Chicken lay their eggs mostly during forenoon
Eggs be collected at least twice
The frequency can be increased 4 to 5 times
during peak summer
57. For a long period
HHEP values of 80% or higher are desirable.
58. Feed efficiency
Feed efficiency/kg. egg of mass=Kg. feed consumed/ Kg. of eggs produced
A value of 2.5or less is advantages to farm
Feed efficiency/ Dozen eggs= Kilograms of feed consumed
12eggs produced
The value should be 1.65 or less
