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.
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.

Selection and judging of the breeding stocks are the first and foremost steps to start with any breeding programme. For this, a no. of phenotypic and behavioral traits are taken into consideration. Breeding plans for cattle and buffalo should aim to meet the quantitative and qualitative demands of milk and meat in the country. From a practical standpoint, traits with a measurable or at least readily recognizable economic value are generally to be given the most emphasis.The economic traits are typically those that affect either the income obtained or the costs of production. So, a thorough understanding of economic traits of livestock is of utmost importance.
Sheep and goats housing management It is a system in which sheep goats are continuously kept under housing in confinement with limited access in which they are stall-fed. It implies a system where goats are not left to fend for themselves with only minimum care.
Housing systems of livestock
In India, a great diversity exists in the design of dairy animal shelters. Efficiently designed sheds can help
lessen the thermal stress thereby increasing feed intake, milk production and reproductive efficiency.
Under varied climatic, geographical and economical conditions prevailing in India, designing an ideal set of
building for dairy animals throughout the country is impossible. Hence, practically there are two systems
of housing for dairy animals viz.,
i) Loose housing and
ii) Conventional barns
Role of livestock in national economy and population dynamics.
Provide livelihood to 2-3rd of rural community.
Also provides employment to 8.8% of the population in India.
20.5 million people depend upon livestock for their livelihood.
Livestock contribute to 16% to the income of small farm households.
Contributes to 4.11% of GDP and 25.6% of total agriculture GDP.

Nutritioal requirements of sheep and goat.pptxHoney904413
The PowerPoint presentation on the nutritional requirements of sheep and goats in India provides a detailed analysis of the dietary needs of these animals, emphasizing the significance of proper nutrition for their growth, reproduction, and overall health. It discusses essential nutrients such as proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals, outlining their roles in the animals' physiological processes. The presentation also delves into traditional feeding practices in India and highlights the importance of balanced diets and access to clean water. Furthermore, it addresses seasonal variations in feed availability and suggests strategies for adjusting diets accordingly. By identifying common nutritional deficiencies and health issues faced by sheep and goats, the presentation offers solutions to improve feeding practices and ensure the well-being of these animals, thereby enhancing their productivity and performance in Indian farming systems.
This presentation, created by Syed Faiz ul Hassan, explores the profound influence of media on public perception and behavior. It delves into the evolution of media from oral traditions to modern digital and social media platforms. Key topics include the role of media in information propagation, socialization, crisis awareness, globalization, and education. The presentation also examines media influence through agenda setting, propaganda, and manipulative techniques used by advertisers and marketers. Furthermore, it highlights the impact of surveillance enabled by media technologies on personal behavior and preferences. Through this comprehensive overview, the presentation aims to shed light on how media shapes collective consciousness and public opinion.

GROWER & LAYER MANAGMENT.pptx
1. GROWER & LAYER MANAGEMENT
PREPARED BY :-
Dr. Rajesh Dangi
Veterinary Officer
Venky’s{INDIA}LTD.
2. Learning objectives:-
•To know about the grower management.
•Significance of restricted feeding during growing period.
•Layer management.
•Vaccination schedule adopted during growing and laying period.
•Several production indices followed for predicting egg production
performance in layer farms.
3. GROWER MANAGEMENT
•Proper cleaning and disinfection of grower house is needed before introduction
of grower birds.
•Provide sufficient floor space, feeding space and water space.
•Spread litter material to a height of 4” in case of deep-litter system.
•Arrange feeder and waterers in the grower house.
•Change the feeder and waterer according to the need.
•Adopt restricted feeding programme during growing period to prevent fattening
of pullets and early sexual maturity and thus to improve egg production.
•Follow good litter management to avoid diseases like coccidiosis.
•Only 12 hours lighting programme is sufficient in case of open-sided houses.
No artificial light is needed.
•Aim for the uniformity of the flock. Sample weights are taken once in a week to
find out the average body weight as per the breeder suggestions.
•Follow strictly the recommended vaccination, medication and other
management programs like deworming, debeaking etc for the growers.
4. RESTRICTED FEEDING
•It is adopted during growing period of layers or breeders.
•There are two types of restricted feeding.
Quantitative feed restriction:-
•In which the amount of feed is reduced below the normal requirement of birds.
•This can be done on day-to-day basis or skip-a-day programme or skip-two
days in a week programme.
•But this restriction depends on the matching of the flock average body weight
with standard body weight provided by the breeder.
•Quantitative feed restriction is usually followed in commercial breeders.
5. Qualitative feed restriction:-
•In which the quality of the feed is reduced below the standard requirement of
the bird.
•This can be done by including unconventional feeds or lesser nutrient feed
ingredients in place of high protein or high energy diet.
•Here the quantity of allotment to the bird is not restricted.
•During restricted feeding programme, provide more number of feeders and see
that all the birds are taking feed simultaneously or otherwise dominant birds will
take more amount of feed and the weaker will be subjected to feed deprivation
and hence the uniformity will be affected.
6. ADVANTAGES
•A considerable saving on feed cost because, only 80 % of the calculated feed requirement will be
offered.
•They are likely to consume less feed per dozen eggs even during laying period when they are
offered ad libitum feed.
•The pullets accumulate less fat and therefore produce more eggs.
•It is easier to identify weaker birds at an early age during feed restriction.
•Culling of such birds helps not only saving feed but also promoting layer house survivability
because, healthier birds will be moving to laying house.
•Layers feed-restricted during growing period have been found to produce heavier eggs in longer
clutches than those fed ad libitum.
7. UNIFORMITY
•At a given age, growing pullets should have average body weight very
close to breeder recommendations and at least 70% of the birds’ weight
within 10% of flock average.
•Points to be considered for getting uniformity among growing pullets
are,
• Receive chicks of uniform weight.
• Provide proper feeding, watering and floor space.
• Change the feeder and waterer according to the age.
• The height of the feeder and waterer should be at the back height of the
bird.
• Provide proper energy in the diet.
• Sample weights of the pullets are taken at regular intervals and change
the feed accordingly.
• Provide proper feeding space, so as to all birds consume feed
simultaneously.
