Basic information

This broiler farm project is established to explain how the broiler farm can be managed using a deep litter system, Starting from raising 50,000 broilers per house, there are ten chicken houses have been constructed, the device has been installed by our company’s installation team and and our customer have started making use it. The broiler house uses 4 rows and 4 tiers cage system

The chicken house size length consists of the following, the width, length and height = 100.0m, 123.0 and 3.5 m. each row contains 90 sets which is a total of 360 sets, each set can feed 144 birds, total breeding 51,840 broilers per house ,the farm has a total of 10 chicken houses and raises more than 500,000 broilers

The broiler farm project optimizes the limited space of the chicken house. The feeding system can provide each chicken with an appropriate amount of food and water. Automatic chicken feeder system reduces food waste and saves labor costs. The egg collector safely transports the eggs to the designated location through the conveyor belt and elevator

The broiler cage is used for the feed and water can be easily delivered to the laying hens, and you can easily control the ambient temperature, and efficiently collect eggs and remove manure, thereby boosting poultry egg production. Broilers as we all know are species of birds basically reared for meat production

Deep litter system management in broiler farming

1. Litter utilization

Is there sufficient land available on the farm to properly utilize the litter as fertilizer, or will some of the litter is moved off-site, approximately 300 tons of litter will be produced each year on a 50,000-bird capacity broiler farm. A nutrient management plan will help determine if adequate land area is available for litter utilization. If not, plans must be made to remove excess litter offsite

2. Ensure an epidemic prevention

To prevent the threat of skin diseases and pollution sources. There should be no pollution sources for large-scale industrial and mining enterprises, livestock and poultry slaughter processing plants and animal trading markets around the chicken farm, the chicken farms and residential areas and main traffic are 1000 meters away from each other

3. Adequate power supply

The power supply of the chicken farm must be able to meet the production needs, and the power supply must be guaranteed. Large chicken farms must have dedicated lines or self-contained power generation equipment

4. Proper isolation method

It is not advisable to rear birds of different age groups in the same house. Wherever possible, it is advisable to practice the all-in-all-out system. Proper layout of houses, appropriate designing to prevent any entry of rodents, proper ventilation, and the designing of feeders and drinkers to avoid spillage, are basic essentials in disease prevention

5. Quality chicks

Ensure that chicks are received from a hatchery where adequate preventive care is taken for breeder birds to guard against mycoplasmosis, salmonellosis and infectious bursal disease.  Check for a history of vaccination against marek's disease. Look for signs of dehydration and ensure that the received chicks are healthy and are within the normal weight range

6. Proper nutrition

A good balanced feed prepared according to nutrient requirements at different ages will ensure proper health and good immune status in birds and addition of coccidiostats and vitamin and mineral supplements are essential

7. Adequate supply of quality water

Poultry farmers often fail to provide the birds with good quality water. Both the microbial and chemical quality of the water need to be tested before establishing a poultry farm in a given area, microbial contamination of water may happen at the source, for instance in ponds, rivers, open wells and the public water supply system, or during transportation and storage, as well as in the overhead tank or bins

Principles

1. It should have proper ventilation

2. Litter moisture should be around 15-25%

3. Air flow should be 10-30 meters/minute

4. Reduce where possible the movements of people, vehicles or equipment into areas where farm animals are kept. This will minimize potential contamination with manure, slurry and other products that could carry disease

5. Where direct contact with farm animals occurs then cleanse and disinfect protective clothing, footwear, equipment, vehicles before and after contact, or where practicable use disposable protective clothing

6. To avoid disease in a poultry flock, it is essential to provide clean drinking water and food, preferably indoors to prevent contamination by wild birds and other animals

7. Other measures include isolating new birds, preparing a plan should the flock need to be brought indoors, and thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting housing at the end of a cycle

8. Poultry house should be located away from residential and industrial area

Frequently ask questions

Q: What is the necessary procedure when carrying out a site survey for rearing a healthy chicken?

A: Ensure the area is eco-friendly to the chickens, enough space for the disposal of a dead chicken and as when as a place to dump their manure

Q: What is the housing and deep litter system needed in raising broilers?

A: Broilers need to be housed in a clean and dry environment. The broiler pen needs to have some form of protective siding (such as 1-inch chicken wire), a roof, ventilation, a form of heating (brooders or heat lamps), and feeding and watering equipment

Q: How long is brooding period for broilers?

A: Brooding period duration is greatly depending upon environmental temperature. Higher the environmental temperature the lower will be the brooding period. The brooding period may range from 2 weeks of age to 6 weeks of age
