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.

Poultry Business Guide ,Those Who are Interested to Start Their Own.Advice for those thinking of starting their own chicken flock for meat or eggs from Dr Tom Tabler, Dr Dustan Clark, Jessica Wells, Dr Wei Zhai and Dr Haitham Yakout with the Mississippi State University Extension Service.
Maintaining a small flock of poultry can be a rewarding experience and is an excellent
venture for a small or part-time farmer. People keep backyard flocks for many reasons –
for meat or eggs, as a hobby for adults or children, or perhaps for show and exhibition.
Backyard poultry can supplement family food supplies, and small producers may choose to sell their products to several niche markets. These can include brown eggs, free-range meat and eggs, live birds for the increasing number of ethnic markets, and organic meat and eggs. Whatever the reason, if you are considering managing a backyard flock,
you must be aware that raising poultry requires time, labour and money.
Birds need care seven days a week, including weekends and holidays. Before you buy
any birds, be sure you are willing and able to give that care. Also, do your homework,
starting with research and planning.
The emu is the second-largest living bird by height, after its ratite relative, the ostrich. It is endemic to Australia where it is the largest native bird and the only extant member of the genus Dromaius.
Emus are soft-feathered, brown, flightless birds with long necks and legs, and can reach up to 1.9 meters (6.2 ft) in height. Emus can travel great distances, and when necessary can sprint at 50 km/h (31 mph); they forage for a variety of plants and insects, but have been known to go for weeks without eating. They drink infrequently, but take in copious amounts of water when the opportunity arises. They are long lived up to 30years.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Hen in production
1. Characteristics of a Hen in
Production
1. Soft, enlarged comb and wattles
2. Wide, moist vent.
3. Increased distance between the pelvic
bones
4. Increased distance between pelvic arch
and keel
5. Velvety skin
6. Soft, pliable, enlarged abdomen
2. Characteristics of a Hen Out of
Production
1. Short, hard, shriveled comb and wattles
2. Small, puckered, and dry vent
3. Little distance between the pelvic bones
4. Short distance between pelvic arch
and keel
5. Tight, coarse skin
6. Firm abdomen

5. Identifying superior egg layers
1. Pelvic bone arch and the keel to pelvic
bone spread:
Each value is measured during peak production
periods in mature laying hens. These
measurements are comparative assessments
between birds within a breed.
They are used as identifiers for birds with superior
egg laying ability.
6. Pelvic bone arch
Good breadth of spread means the birds have
ample space for reproductive organs and for eggs.
Pubic bones should be of medium thickness and be
flexible rather than stiff.
Extremely stiff or thick pelvic bones indicate that
the hen is not laying. Extreme thinness and flexibility
are also undesirable as they are indicators of
underlying illness or problems with the bird.
7. Pelvic arch
• The two bones that form the pelvic arch are located
just below the vent of the chicken.
• As a hen lays, the vent moves down below these
bones and the egg is ejected.
• The distance between the two bones in a hen in
production is a good indicator of relative egg size.
Ideally, the bones themselves will be relatively thin –
having little fat and gristle coating them – perhaps
only 1/4 inch thick or less when pinched between
the thumb and forefinger.
8. Pelvic arch
• Distance is measured by the number of fingers that fit within the
pelvic arch – each finger is considered approximately 3/4 of an inch
thick.
• On most Standard large fowl breeds, better hens will have room to
fit three or more fingers between the pelvic bones.

13. 1. Keel/Pelvic Spread
• The distance between the pelvic arch and the rear
tip of the keel bone is a good indicator of the size of
the egg organs and the number of eggs produced
(relative to breed).
• Most Standard breeds will fit four or more fingers
between the pelvic arch and the keel bone.
• Large breeds, such as the Buff Orpington, naturally
should have greater space relative to number of eggs
laid than smaller breeds, such as the Leghorn.
• It is not unusually for a high-producing Leghorn hen
to measure a 6.5-finger span.
14. 2. Molting Ability
• Birds should be selected for their molting abilities.
• Individuals that drop feathers almost all at once are
preferred over birds that take longer to molt. The
quicker the molt, the quicker the birds get back to
the business of laying eggs.
• It is preferable that the molt occur later in season for
optimal persistency of lay (such birds lay eggs for a
longer period of time during the year). A mid- to late
September molt is ideal.
15. Molting Ability
• August is acceptable, but July is completely
unacceptable.
• Caution: a late-molting hen will be out of production
for six to eight weeks; do not cull the hen flock for
lack of production during September through
November or risk culling your best layers. To retain
your best layers, band the birds which:
Wait to molt until September or October.
Drop nearly all of their feathers at once.
Grow nearly all their wing feathers back at once.
16.
17. 3. Abdomen
• A soft pliable abdomen is a good sign of a healthy hen.
• Sometimes a hen will be found that has very good spread between
the keel bones and the pelvic arch but also has a hard abdomen.
• Such a hen very likely has a cancerous tumor, though occasionally
an egg is mistaken for such a hard lump.
