Abattoirs standards
An abattoir is a slaughterhouse where animals are killed and butchered for their meat. Modern abattoirs require pens to hold animals humanely, a slaughter area, and facilities to process the meat into portions and products ready for sale. Proper planning is important - an abattoir should be at least 500 meters from dwellings and have good road access. The minimum site area is 1800 square meters to accommodate all required modules laid out in a rectangular format.
Eggs Advert
Both "free-range" and battery cage hens are debeaked without anesthetic and force molted through starvation. They are considered spent after only 18 months of laying eggs and killed in the cheapest way possible. All male chicks are brutally killed at one day old because they cannot lay eggs. While "free-range" hens are not confined to cages, they come from the same hatcheries and endure the same treatment and mutilations as battery cage hens. They are also killed when their egg production declines to remain profitable, as keeping unproductive roosters and spent hens would cut into farm profits. The only humane alternative is to go vegan.
Argumentative essay
This document provides instructions for writing an argumentative essay, including outlining the key steps: 1) Address the topic by stating general statements and your position, 2) State your stand clearly, 3) Rank your reasons starting from strongest to weakest, 4) Anticipate and address any counterarguments, and 5) Conclude by restating your main points and discussing the topic in a broader context. An example argument is given that animals should not be kept in cages as it is cruel and limits their natural freedoms.
Lecture 7 (Layer Management).pptx
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.
Infrastructure req of modern slaughterhouse
1. The document discusses the infrastructural requirements for modern slaughterhouses, including considerations for site selection, size requirements based on daily throughput, and essential areas and facilities.
2. It provides guidelines for key areas of a slaughterhouse including the lairage, slaughter hall with stunning and bleeding sections, chill rooms, and effluent treatment.
3. The document emphasizes hygienic design principles for floors, drains, lighting and layout to ensure forward product flow and separation of clean and dirty operations.
Poultry production system.pptx
Chickens and chicks need to be housed in an environment that maintains their optimal body temperature. Newly hatched chicks have a body temperature of 103.5°F that rises to the adult temperature of 105-107°F by 3 weeks of age. The upper lethal temperature for chickens is 116.8°F. Good housing and environmental conditions are important to optimize chicken performance and welfare. Poultry production systems include free-range and intensive housing. Free-range allows chickens outdoor access while intensive housing involves controlled-environment houses.
Backyard poultry production
This document discusses housing and brooding operations for backyard poultry production. It begins by classifying different poultry housing systems such as free range, semi-intensive, intensive, deep litter, slatted floor, and cage systems. It then provides details on each system including their advantages and disadvantages. A significant portion of the document focuses on brooding management, describing the different brooding methods, requirements including temperature, ventilation, space, feeding, and watering during brooding. It concludes with discussing disease prevention, vaccinations, and medications that should be administered during brooding.
LAYOUT,DESIGN ,OPERATIONS ,EQUIPMENTS and maintenance in SLAUGHTER HOUSES
The document discusses the design and facilities required for slaughter houses of various sizes. Key factors that determine abattoir design include the intended practices, level of technology, financial resources, and capacity. Essential facilities include water and electricity supply, drainage, ventilation, lighting, durable walls and floors, rail systems, and lairage areas for animal holding. Larger abattoirs require more space and specialized areas for processing, inspection, waste treatment, and employee amenities.

Intensive Housing systems for Poultry.pptx
INTENSIVE SYSTEM
• Birds are completely confined in the houses either on floor (ground or slatted floor) or in the cages.
• Most efficient system for the commercial or modern poultry production in huge numbers
A.) DEEP LITTER SYSTEM
• Birds are housed on floor by placing over suitable litter material.
• Characteristics of ideal litter materials – Light in weight
Medium particle size
Highly adsorbent
Rapid drying
Soft and compressible
Low thermal conductivity
Less expensive and easily available
• Commonly available litter materials – paddy husk, saw dust, wood shavings, peanut hulls, sugarcane bagasse, crushed corn cobs, processed papers.
• Thickness of litter – 5cm (2”) in summer and 7.5 cm (3”) in winter finally at the time of disposal 10-12 cm (4”-5”)
Moisture content of litter Consequences
20-25% Optimum moisture
< 20% (Dry) Dusty dehydration, respiratory distress
>30% (wet) Ammonia production, decrease in productivity, increased risk of infectious diseases, keratoconjunctivitis
• Proper stirring of litter i.e. raking should be done on every alternate day.
Reasons for wet litter condition necessary action to be taken
1. Wet & humid weather proper ventilation
2. Excess moisture in faeces due to increased water intake due to excess salt in feed nutritional management
To avoid wet litter 1kg lime or ½ kg super phosphate per square meter should be applied.
Sparkling of wood ash & super phosphate in the ratio of 4:1 @ 5 kg/ 10 square meter area prevents emission of ammonia
B.) SLATTED FLOOR SYSTEM
• Slatted floor, iron rods or wood reapers are used as floor, usually 2-3 feet above the ground level to facilitate fall of droppings through slats.
• Wooden reapers or iron rods of 2” diameter can be used on lengthwise of the house with interspaces of 1” between rods.
SLAT CUM LITTER SYSTEM
Part of the floor is covered with slats and rest of the floor is covered with litter
2/3rd of floor is slats and 1/3rd area is left for litter
Feeders and waterers are arranged in both slat and litter area
Mostly preferred for broiler breeders
In case of breeder flock, nest boxes are usually kept on litter area
CAGE SYSTEM
This system involves rearing of poultry on raised wire netting floor in smaller compartments, called cages.
Very efficient for LAYERS.
Feeders and waterers are attached to cages from outside except nipple waterers, for which pipeline is installed through or above cages.
Auto-operated feeding trolleys and egg collection belts can also be used in this rearing system.
The droppings are either collected in trays underneath cages or on belts or on the floor or deep pit under cages, depending on type of cages.

The document discusses the process of seed germination. It states that germination requires certain external factors like water, temperature, oxygen and sometimes light or darkness. It also requires internal factors within the seed like seed vitality and dormancy. The optimal temperatures for germination of many vegetable seeds are listed in a table. Proper equipment, handling of materials, and laboratory procedures are outlined for conducting germination tests on seeds using paper or sand substrates. The tests are used to assess seed viability and predict field performance.
Germination ppt final
Germination is the growth of a plant contained within a seed; it results in the formation of the seedling, it is also the process of reactivation of metabolic machinery of the seed resulting in the emergence of radical and plumule.
All fully developed seeds contain an embryo and in most plant species some store of food reserves, wrapped in a seed coat. Some plants produce varying numbers of seeds that lack embryos; these are called empty seeds and never germinate. Dormant seeds are ripe seeds that do not germinate because they are subject to external environmental conditions that prevent the initiation of metabolic processes and cell growth. Under proper conditions, the seed begins to germinate and the embryonic tissues resume growth, developing towards a seedling
Broiler farming by Dr. M Ashiq Toor
This document provides information on broiler farming at a commercial level. It discusses the differences between open shed and control shed systems. Open sheds have lower construction and running costs but lower production satisfaction due to the lack of automatic controls for feeding, watering, temperature and humidity. Control sheds have higher costs but allow for automatic control of various systems to improve growth rates, feed conversion ratios and farmer satisfaction levels. The document then outlines the various stages of broiler production from shed preparation to catching and sale.

Housing is an important factor in dairy farming that depends on the number of animals, breed, environment, finances, and facilities. There are three main types of housing: free stall, tie stall, and loose housing. Free stall is recommended and involves dividing the area into stalls/cubicles where cows can enter and exit freely except during milking. Tie stall confines cows to individual stalls and is not preferred. Loose housing does not provide stalls and is difficult to manage animals. Housing should meet animal needs and allow for expansion if required.
