BV300 Be eee Te RMR1 ODUCTION BV300 has been the consistent market leader in the Indian Layer Industry since last forty ‘years, 6300 acquired the reputation of most adaptable, consistent and prolific egg layer that ‘maximizes profit margin in poultry business. itis the result of continuous genetic research and development at Venkateshwara Research and Breeding Farm Pvt. Ltd. (VRB), Pune, India. VRB has the state ofthe art infrastructure for ful-ledged poultry breeding programme of international standards and is recognized by department of science and technology, Govt. of India as in-house R & D center since 1981. The pedigree birds under genetic selection Programme are tested in agro-climatic conditions of the Indian subcontinent and the husbandry practices are close to the management systems of commercial poultry farmers of the region. Selection principles are based on thorough understanding of the market conditions ‘and consumer preferences of the area. Markets changing demands and husbandry challenges are met quickly and effectively as the programme is talor made for the region. Network of franchisee hatcheries of VRB supply top quality commercial layer chicks to the farmers and givebest technical services. However the fruits ofthe finest genetic package of BV300 can only be fully realized when the bird is provided with good management which includes but is not limited to, good quality feed , housing and proper management practices, This guide highlights feeding, management and environmental conditions which can help to ‘achieve maximum profit from genetically superior BV300. This guide is not set out to cover leach and every aspect of management, instead an attempt has been made to highlight some ofthe entical factors which if left unattended, may adversely affect flock performance. These ‘combined with sound flock sense are the prime ingredients required for good performance. This guide contains the basic principles, which are proving successful for other producers. Remember that It is only a guide. It is not a warranty or guarantee of performance. Environmental conditions beyond your control may affect the outcome of your management ‘program. How well you anticipate and react to these conditions will determine how close you will come tothe best possible resultfor any particularflock,Oto 18 weeks ofage 96 97 — W8to72weeksofage 4-96 Oto 18 weeks of — 19to72weeks Body Weight ‘AUB. weeks of age 1.22k9 _ AtStweeksofage 0 180KG At72weeksof age 1.60kg 5.6kg 2S ae Age at 50% rate of lay 21-22 week — Ageat90%rateoflay = 23-24week Peak production 96-97% luctionabove90% ===§-s-/- 40+weekS Total Hen Housed eggs for 72 weeks: 330 Egg Weight Egg weight at 32 woeks ofage 569 ci __Eggweightat Bo 68g al Egg weight at 72 weeks ofage 609 "Avg ME (Kcallkg) 2520 ‘Feediegg| for19-72weeksofage = 124g ‘Shell colour Uniform White _— Shellbreakingstrength = deal Variety of management system Easy to HandlePOULTRY HOUSIN ere fecal at ae Preferably moderate climate Ree Seater eaiiiesca costa con eee 1.

Invariably poultry farms do have flies problem therefore sites should be away from human population or villages. 4. Safe distance of to 10 kms from Dressing plants and other poultry farm. 5. Moderate climatic conditions are best suited to obtain optimum production results. In ‘extreme climatic conditions, one has to consider cooling of the house. cor z A 1. Poultry houses are to be designed as per the climatic conditions of a particular region. pen sided housing systems are recommended in most of the areas. However, considering the climatic severity in summer season, appropriate measures need to be taken to achieve ‘optimum production performance. 2. Itis always advisable to have “al in-all out" system. This will reduce disease problems and, help in achieving better productivity from the flocks. Reared flocks are shifted from rearing unit well before point of fay to layer units 3. In India, tis recommended to have poultry houses in East ~ West direction to avoid direct, ‘exposure to sun light. At the time of construction, provide overhang roof of 5 feet & 2 feet rat proofing platform (chajja) on all the sides. Windows may be provided in gable walls for better ventilation 4. Chain-ink of % sq, inches shauld be provided length wise on both sides of the house. Open. ridge atthe roofs better to facilitate hol airmovement during the summer season. 5, Sparrow-proofing at eves of the walls and at open ridge at the roof will reduce the possibility ‘of mechanical transmission of disease by entry of wild birds inthe shed.BIOSECURITY Cleaning and disinfection plays a vital role in the management of poultry, helping to avold various bacterial , viral, fungal and protozoal diseases. After vacating the poultry house in the shortest possible time, the house should be disinfected and kept vacant thereafier unti arrival ‘fnew flock. 1. Remove all organic material e.g. manure, feathers, dust etc., preferably after spraying 5 to 10% formalin and collecting the above in closed containers e.g. ‘gunny bags or plastic bags and should be disposed off, away from farm premises. 2. Remove all waterers, feeders,curtains, brooders (hovers) from deep litter system, clean and wash them thoroughly with water jets and then washing with soda solution 3. Dip them in a virucidal disinfectant as per the manufacturers instructions for the time and dilution rate, 4, Sun dry foraday or so, 5. Thoroughly wash the floor, cages, walls and the roof with pressure water jt. &. Check entire wiremesh and poultry house to prevent entry of rodente and wild birde. Rat baits needs to be used to control rodents. 7. Repairwork ofthe shed including cages, equipments etc should be carried out 8. Incase of ticks, mites and lice infestation, the shed may be sprayed with Cythion at the Fate of 80 to 160 mi per 10 litres of water. Hence itis very important and mandatory to foliow the safety precautions, as spraying ofthis type of insecticides is hazardous. 9. Flamegun should be used inside and outside of the house Chemical Treatment : Floors should be soaked with strong solution of caustic soda flakes (NaOH) with pH, above 12 and for 120 24 hours, Then drain outwater completely. Dose : Caustic Soda flakes ( NaOH) 11 to 12g per lite of water. 100 litres of such solution should be used for 1000 sq, feet. Washing Soda ( Na2Co3) dose is 4 to 5 times higher than Caustic Sodai.e. 50 to 60g) litre of water or5to 6 kg/1000 Sq feet. Remove all Soda with plain water using pressure pump. * Caution : It is necessary to use hand gloves and gum-boots during use of caustic soda treatment. 03Whitewash : White wash the shed with lime solution with 1% Kerosene and 5% formalin. In case of previous batch history with high mortality, suitable virucidal disinfectants may be ‘sprayed as per manufacturer's recommendation 1. Use of disinfectants 2) Quaternary Ammonium compound or Chlorine 100 to 120 ppm to be used either in the form of bleaching powder or sodium hypochlorite (containing 20% available chlorine) b) lodine in dilution to provide 1000 ppm 2. Thermal or terminal disinfection program can be undertaken to have thorough disinfection of the house. 3. Airtight the house, spray B 904 @-4 milter of water for 25 Sq feet area with pressure pump 4. Alterthe shed dries, next day carry out thermal fogging using 2liter of X 185" in 2.5 iter of water, for 5000 Sq. feet area, 5.

Workers /staff movement from one ‘age group to other should be minimized. = Under no cirumstances staff should move from laying houses ta brooding area, = Foot Baths : Foot baths should be necessarily provided at the entry of the farm and at the entry of each house. This foot bath should contain suitable disinfectant of recommended dilution. Water from foot baths should be changed periodically. ™ Foot wear : Rubber slippers should be used before entering the farm, Visiting veterinarians or technicians needs to be provided with farm dress so as to reduce the risk of infections. While visiting the flock, healthy flocks needs to be visited firstand suspected flocks as alast stop only. Pear ee ‘The immediate burning or burying of dead birds is an important part of a good disease prevention program"= Incinerator: Agood incinerators probably the best means of disposal, especially in an ‘area where there is poor soil drainage or a danger of contaminating the water source ‘while operating an incinerator, be sure thatbirds are completely burnt to a white.ash. Disposal Pit :Aless desirable but acceptable method of dead bird disposal is through the use of an adequately designed and tightly covered disposal pt. A pit of 6ft (1.83 m) in diameter and 6 ft deep (1.83 m) is large enough to take care of one 10,000 capacity layer unit. It is necessary to remove all dead birds immediately and they should be disposed off property. 05REARING GUIDELI ons For Arrival Of z= icks Well begun is half done. Conforming to this proverb, a well managed brooding programis like ‘achieving the half way mark to an excellent layer performance. Brooding the chicks is an important and skillful part of good poultry management and. is the base for production of a {900d pullet: Refer cleaning and disinfection programme which needs to be carefully followed for clean start of the brooder house. 1. In coo! season, heating devices in the shed should be switched on a least six hours before the expected arrival time of chicks so that the shed is properly heated to required temperature, before chicks are placedin the shed. 2. Waterers should be filed with water, electrolytes and anti-stress preparations, 3. Ensure that the vehicle dip with proper depth atthe entrance of the farms filed with the right disinfectant in correct dilution, so that the wheels of all incoming delivery vans will be properly disinfected at the entrance. The water in the dip should be changed periodically. It is recommended to spray the vehicle with suitable disinfectant atthe entrance of the Farm, Brooding arrangement in Deep litter Brooser Guard Peel Equipments: For every 300 pullet chicks, following equipments are necessary. However depending upon the size of the equipment, number of equipments may vary. Therefore, the thumb rule is that all the birds should be able to get sufficient feeding space at the time of feeding. 06Inbrooding, a brooder guard of tin or card boardis used. Tinis preferred as we can easily clean and disinfect. Brooder shouldhave a diameter of6 feet. ‘Theheightof the guardis 18 inches and total length of the guard is 20 feet. ‘Thisis used in perfect circle to function as a brooder guard. Four water fountains of 1 lit capacity to be placed initially and increased as per the season/age. Sufficient feeder lids are to be placed inside the brooder guards and substituted by chick feeders as the chicks grow. 8. Wall hanging type of thermometer needs to be placedinside the brooder house at about Zinch above the floor level, to check the temperature at chick level in various pens. 9. Electric thermo-coils or gas brooders are also used as a heating arrangement for warming up and maintaining the required temperature during the brooding period. 10.Arrangement should be made to provide the required air exchange and relative ‘humidity during the brooding period. 11. Uniform temperature throughout the house instead of spot heating will reduce the percentage of dehydration of chicks.

Depending upon the climate, one has to alter the height of curtains to provide ‘comfortable warmth and air exchange. Recommended relative humidity inside the house should be 60 to 70% during the brooding period of 4 weeks and thereafter. 2. BV 300 is equipped with the genetic potential of producing 330 plus eggs in its ‘commercial life. However, this production can only be achieved if the chicks are provided with all due care in its brooding stage. 3. If reared scientifically, the chicks will have standard and uniform body weight and mortality will be negligible. Therefore, maximum attention needs to be paid while rearing the chicks in their brooding and growing stage. Farmers are preferring cage brooding as it is convenient and helps in reducing disease problems. Following are the requirements: 41. Chicks should be provided required warmth, ventilation and relative humidity. 2. Ghicks should be able to easily reach feed and water. The cages where nipple drinkers are installed, itis suggested to have small chick waterers for frst couple of weeks til all Cchicks locate nipple drinkers. 3. Cages should have enough lighting for the chicks to locate waterers, nipples and feeders. Each cage should preferably have two watering sources so that if one fails, birds will not remain without water. 4, Providing uniform temperature and appropriate air exchange is a must. Spot heating by {gas brooders, coal stoves may result in severe dehydration of close-by chicks. Itshould bbe kept in mind that unlike deep liter chicks wil not be able to move fram one cage to another and therefore are likely to gel severely dehydrated and weak. It may also result in non-uniform immunity response to vaccines. 5. H.D-P. curtains do not facilitate proper air exchange like gunny clothes which is porous innature. Therefore, its essential to operate H.D.P. curtains for proper ventilation and tomaintain warmth inside the brooder house. 6. Hang the H.0.P. curtains on both sides of the wire-mesh, leaving about one foot distance from the roof, so as to provide proper cross ventilation. In severe cold 08‘conditions, open space may be covered with gunny cloth to facilitate ventilation to reduce effect of cold air entering the house. The curtain windows at parapet wall level will facilitate the fresh air exchange during the warmer period of the day. AS the temperature rises, small windows may be provided by lifting the curtains on both the sides so as to reduce the house temperature. At the noon time whenever the ‘temperature is very high, position curtains to maintain best comfort level to the chicks. insidethe house. ‘At some of the farms, curtains are lowered down with semi-automatic system. One needs to adjust open side of the window to facilitate air exchange and maintain required temperature as per the age of the flock so as to provide comfortable environment throughout the brooding period 7. Once chicks are placed in broader cages, let the chicks drink medicated water for 2-3. hrs and then give Chick Crumble feed in chick size feeder troughs. 8. Provide sufficient space @ 1 inch of feeder space/chick. 9. During first 2-3 days, small quantities of chick feed may be given many times a day. Use of LPG operated Gas Brooders gives much more uniformheat ‘as compared to conventional types of brooding practices like Electric Lamps, Coal or Wood Heaters. The radiant Gas Brooder creates micro~ climate for the chicks so thal they wan chuuse their most comfortable piace and warmth at any time. This results it ‘proper growth and weight gain which is more uniform. LPG Gas Brooding can be done either by Central Control system or by Individually Controlled Infra Red radiant gas brooders. You should remember that any brooding system must have a temperature control device. The advantage of temperature controls in energy saving and to meet the precise heat requirement of the birds which changes with theirage. Infra Red Radiant Brooder can be placed 90 to 130 cm above the ground level depending upon the heat requirement. The number and types of Gas Brooders can be decided as per the specifications of the Gas Brooders. tis very important to note that the Gas Brooder which you select spells out the specifications in terms of BTU or KW rating and operating pressures, etc. {tis always safe to select the brooder which has got an intemational quality mark for safety and reliability. Before chicks arrive, ensure that filed LPG Gas cylinders are available at the site. Maintain temperature of 32deg to 34 deg C on day one. Measure the same at 10 to 25 cm above the ltter level. Lower the temperature approximately by 3 deg C perweek untl attaining a temperature of 25 deg C. The temperature can be sensed by a sensor connected to the individual Gas Brooders or to the Central Control System. 09Pon mmen Rk tee) ase US DURING BROODING PERIOD SLIGHTLY COOL SLIGHTLY COOL. MODERATE MODERATE HOT HoT 10Beak trimming is practiced to reduce feed wastage and pecking. Trimming of the beak is tobe done at 7 to 10 days of age. This should be done with precision debeaking machine. Poor beak trimming causes difficulties in eating and drinking, resulting in unevenness of aflock and reduced production due to affected birds. ‘The cut should be atleast 2.5 to 3mm from the nostril, accordingly decide the size of the hole to bbe used. In open sided houses second beak trimming is recommended at the age of 9 to 10 weeks. Acherry red hot blade has been recommended for proper cauterization, However, care should be taken to have least stress and minimum effect on growth of the birds. Ecc 1 zr 3, 4 6. Ensure that the flockis healthy. Use electrolytes and vitamins in water two days before and two days after beak trimming. Ensure that the birds are drinking water freely. Adequate depth of feed is to be provided in feeding systems for the birds to eat comfortably. Immediately ater the beak trimming, dip the beak in turmeric powder or antiseptic solution s0 as to avoid secondary bacterial complications. Make sure that the chicks beak is placed in to the debeaker hole with an angle of 15 to 20°.

Identify and correct the problem, Uniformity is determined by calculating % of birds weighing within plus or minus 10 % of average weight. Uniformity above 80% with target body weight is indicator of good managed flock. Uniformity % = No, of birds within range of +/-10% ofmeanwt, x 100 Tolalbirds weighed Refer sample body weight chart. Birds having body weight lower than 10% of mean wt. should be separated from rast of the flock. They should be continued with chick feed or feed with higher nutritional densities so as to achieve targeted body weights, Grading and supporting treatment helpsin achieving better uniformity of the flock Pullet Transfer Age : Transfer at least 7 days before expected first egg. 15° week is the recommended age for the transfer of BV300. Vaccination : Doatleasta week before transfer so thatimmunization isnotimpaired. Weightloss: Depending on the time without feed, the temperature and duration of travel time, this loss may reach 5to 12%. Water : Do not feed for 2 to 3 hours after transfer. On arrival, the birds must drink plenty of water before feeding, Light 2 Keep the lights on, throughout the nighton the day of transfer. Caution Catch and hold the birds by both shanks not the wings. 18Proven vaccines, produced under rigid quality control, from a reputed manufacturer should ‘only be used for vaccination. “The very purpose of the vaccination is to protect flocks against infective agents. Vaccination should be scientifically innoculated / introduced into the flock to stimulate its immune system, To leam and adopt correct schedule and methodology of vaccination, consult the local veterinary | technical expert and follow manufacturers instructions. Vaccine should be stored in conditions specified by the manufacturer. All these factors will help to achieve expected immune response. Work out vaccination program depending upon local disease challenges. ‘Check pre vaccination and post vaccination titers as per the guidelines of technical expert Vaccinate healthy flocks only. = Remove drinking water prior to vaccination for one hour in hot weather, decide ‘withdrawal time judiciously for other seasons. ‘= Scrub and wash drinkers thoroughly to remove all dit, droppings and slime. Dont use sanitizer. = Uso only clean and pure water withnut water sanitizer for vaccination purpose. Use ‘skimmed milk powder in chilled water for preparing vaccine water. = Handle Vaccine property a) Follow manufacturers instructions for vaccine reconstitution and dilution. ) Do not use outdated vaccines. Products which have crossed expire date, may not have adequate potency. ¢)Use adequate dosage. Donot stretch vaccine. {d) Burn oF disinfect all used and open vaccine containers after each vaccination to prevent accidental spread. ‘= Prepare vaccine water mixture in a clean container such as large bucket, then ‘administer to the flock by pouring it into pre-cleaned water troughs. Do not rely on ‘automaticrinkers. ‘© Make sure that all the birds consume vaccine water and itis consumed in one hour or 80, = Donot substitute skimmed milk powder by any other colouring agent. In spite of following Biosecurity norms and properly vaccinating the flocks against prevalent diseases, sometimes disease may stnke, When it happens itis necessary to get veterinary help as early as possible. Diseases in poultry can cause high mortality and morbidity which result in heavy economic loss to the farmer. While sending dead birds to the laboratory one: 16should send at least 6-8 birds for proper diagnosis of the disease, alongwith history of the affected flock. Precautions to be taken to prevent the spread of the disease to other flocks. ‘Timely medication has got great economic value in poultry, as susceptible population is very large. ‘Most of the layer birds in India are housed in cage system, raised platform and both side open house.

Feeding and watering space as per the size and type of the equipment. wFEE iN Nutritional requirements varies from area to area and season to season. In summer season. the bird eats less and hence effort should be made to increase its nutritional density to meet the nutritional requirements ofthe bird. Simiarty birds tend to eat more in winter and therefore, there is a need to make necessary changes in feed formulations. Feed consumption should also be correctly monitored so thatrequired nutrientlevels are provided. Feed used inal phases of the lfe cycle ofthe flock must meet following criteria 1 Nutrients should be supplied in proper proportions and in a form which is bio available tothe birds. ‘Texture and color of feed must be acceptable tothe birds. Feed mustnotbe dusty. Ideally feed must be free from following contaminants = Pathogenic organisms = Harmful chemicals and = Toxins animal by-products like meat-meal, fish-meal,ivr-meal, blood-meal and hydrolysed feather meal aro uced, care chould be taken to encure that they are sterilized and absolutely free from alltypes of contaminants. ‘Soybean meal, used in poultry feed, must have been properly roasted. Inadequate or ‘excess heat during processing of soybean for oil extraction will damage the nutritional value of soybean. The level of roasting of soybean can be judged by feed analytical laboratories. All the cakes needs to be tested for aflatoxin levels before use to avoid toxicity tobirds. Calcium should be added to the feed in the form of oyster shell with particle size of 3 to 4 mm. If calcium is to be added in form of limestone, 50% should be used as large particles (3 to 4 mm) and only 50% in the form of powder. Limestone so used, should be low in magnesium, Contamination of feed during storage, transport and delivery must be avoided. Wild- birds and rodents may contaminate the feed. If you are making your own feed, formulate your feed according to the season, age, feed consumption, body weight and production level of the birds. The formulations should be based on the actual weight of dfferentingredients and the accurate valuation of each feed ingredient before they are added together. 1810. The sizeof the grain s also an important factor. We suggest grain size of 3to 3.5mm. eee Nutritional requirements are given in the Appendix IV to VII. Recommended up to7 weeks.

To meet the nutrient requirement it is Fequired to increase the density of feed. Consumption based formulation gives good results in this situation ‘Similarly when consumption is high, egg weight increases and may be more than market requirements. It may affect shell quality and also increases feed cost per egg. Consumption ‘based formulation minimizes this problem, Toons Revised nutrient levels for BV300 may increase the cost per ton of feed. However, its implementation results in the improvement of flock profitability.(GG WEIGHT AND SH QUALITY Body Weight Body weight at the onset of production is the most significant factor influencing the early egg ‘weight. The increment of body weight from onset to peak production should be 300 g for standard rise of egg weightof 15 grams. Follow the recommendation in this guide with respect to space, nutrition and lighting programme to attain the targetbody weight and egg weight. ‘Sexual maturity changes according to variation in day length during the rearing period. With. increasing day length, itis brought forward, with decreasing day length, itis retarded. Give light stimulation when the target body weights are achieved. One week delay in sexual ‘maturity increases egg weight by one gram, Follow nutritional recommendations in the guide for achieving target of recommended egg weight, Nutrients ike methionine, linoleic acid and energy levels inthe feed influence egg size. In summer months feed consumption reduces by 10 to 20 grams which results in decrease in ‘€09 weight by 2 to 3 grams. Follow consumption based feed formulations recommended in the guide to minimize the effects of reduced nutrient intake. Follow the recommendations in ‘Summer management to reduce the impact of summer on the birds and to achieve required ‘eg9 weight and productivity, In the first month of production, egg weight increases rapidly. The weekly increment in this Period is 2.5 g. In the second month, the weekly increment is one gram. In the third month of. production, the weekly increment is about half gram per week. Once egg weight reaches 57- 58 grams, minimize the increment of egg weight by following phase feeding recommendations. ahie) ues Egg Shell Quality Egg shell is an architectural marvel. By complete understanding the factors affecting shell {qualityitis possible to maintain acceptable shell quality through out the laying cycle. 198.4 % of shell is calcium carbonate. 37.3 % of calcium carbonate is calcium. Thus calcium. content of an eggis 2 to 2.2, Ensure adequate availabilty of calcium, phosphorous, D3 and. ‘trace minerals to the birds at he time of shell formation, Encourage maximum feed intake during the last4 hours before the lights are turned off Ensure adequate feed when the light are tumed on in the morning. Cnr ‘Shell deposition is maximum around midnight. Atthat time digestive tractis empty. Giving light for two hours between 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. stimulates feed consumption and makes feed available in the digestive tract when it is needed most. Ensure feed in the feeders of the required quantity to make feed available during midnight. Calcium grit (3 to 4 mm) are retained in the gizzard and dissolve slowly during the shell formation providing a more regular release of calcium. 50 % of the calcium have to be in particles of 3 to 4 mmand 60% in a powder form. Grit should be added directly to the mixture, Donotgive excess calcium than recommendedas this can lead to.adeficiency of phosphorus. Higher calcium level in the feed also affects appetite. The feeding of calcium grit on top of a diet containing the full calcium requirement is not recommended, if50 % calcium source isin granular form (3to4mm). CEE Eos Under the influence of estrogen, the pullet starts storing calcium in the special bones called. ‘medullary bones as reserve for future needs. This deposited calcium isin labile form, thats, it ‘can be used whenever there is deficiency in blood and redeposited whenever there is an ‘excess quanti. Itis important that the bird has this reserve before the onsetof lay. Two weeks before on set of production (Start of 15" week) prelay feed should be given for proper development of medullary bone. 22Em Start layer ration as soon as first egg is laid. Once a hen start laying It does not stop. If the calcium is inadequate the early layers will draw calcium from medullary bones and will not be able to replenish it and willbe at disadvantage in the later partof the laying cycle. "= Inadequate levels reduces shell quality Higher than 6.5 pH markedly decreases absorption. Excess free fatty acids in the diet can cause the pH to decrease and interfere with ‘absorption of calcium and phosphorous. |= High levels of phosphorous is detrimental to shell quality Increased plasma levels result in reduced mobilization of calcium from the bones and also affects acid base balance of body fluid. Inits active form (1-25 - Dihydroxy-D3) is essential for absorption of calcium from the intestine ‘and mobilization of calcium from the bones. Maintain the recommended levels in feed. Copper, manganese, magnesium and zinc are important for shell quality, Excess maysesiuit interferes with calcium metabolism, The efficiency of the phytase is affected by storage. Purchase phytase from reliable source. Ensure phytase activity before formulating feed. Phytase 5000 is gonoraly used in poulty food ‘Suggested incorporation levels are as follows Chick Feed 100 9/Ton of feed Grower 60grTonoffeed Developer Prelayer Layer This incorporation level is expected to replace 0.12% of available phosphorous from ‘compounded feed. 23Increase the nutrient density by following the consumption based formulation. Give 20 % more vitamins and minerals. Add 150-200 gm of Vitamin Citon. Add Sodium bicarbonate @ 2 gfitof water and Citric acid @ 1 g /litof water. Avoid feeding the birds during heat period from 11.m. to 5pm. toreduce the effectoof heat stroke. a Dezline in egg shell quality with age is a normal physiological phenomenon in layers. Calcium absorption reduces with age from 60 % at 28 week to 50 % at 60 week and ess than 50% after £65 weeks of age. Hen looses some of her abilty to mobilize calcium from medullary bones. E9g weight gradually increases with age, However shell weight do not increase in the same proportion, That means with the age, shell becomes thinner. = Consider age of the flock = Feed Consumption ‘= Adjustnutrient densities to minimize shell quality and egg weight problem Infectious bronchitis, Ranikhet disease , avian encephalomyelits, egg drop syndrome and chronic respiratory disease have detimental effecton shell quality. Internal parasites affect nutrient absorption and there by the shell quality ‘Mycotoxins, fungicides and chemotherapeutic agents cause decline of the shell quality Frequent egg collection reduces breakage. Preventive maintenance of cage floors and cage rolls raduces breakage. Percentage of crack eggs increases with the increase of floor slope from 7 degree to 11 degree. Eggs breakage was greater with floors constructed from wire with a diameter of 2.5. mm as compared to 2 mm, Reduce sound, activity and movement of workers inside the layer house to minimize disturbance to the birds. 28LIGHTING PROGRAM Pra eas rscnsery | Sid soi nesm eee ee a) Se Mr Fae fa oped tach geet Nalcooed rE Gait nace ihc ead ering ae eevatcl Ges aes aT eae Gere) 1.

However, two primary sources are florescent and incandescent lights. As long as we provide required intensity of ight at bird level, it does not matter which type we use. Installation and maintenance cost, efficiency and ‘economics will decide the type to be used. Florescent tubes or CLF lights (12 o 14 watts) are generally used to provide 10 to 20 lux of uniform light atthe bird evel. tis necessary to have routine cleaning and maintenance of the source of light. This will provide right intensity of ight. throughoutthe life cycle of the flock. Good quality ime switches can be installed for poultry houses.

The roof should be well insulated to cut down on heat penetration or radiation and a ridge ventilation should be provided to allow hot, dry air to escape and to permit fresh air oenter from the sides. 2. The house should be oriented so that prevailing winds hitthe long open surfaces. Cross ventilation provided by natural breeze is the most practical and effective means to improve environment in tropical areas. Providing wet gunny cloth curtain with drip on. ‘windward side will be helpful in reducing temperature inside the house, Preferably 3'M layerhouse with ridge ventilation is ideal for providing better ventilation. 3. Any obstructions to air movement, such as bushy trees and nearby utility buildings should be avoided. These obstructions to ventilation also tend to reflectradiant energy into the building. Under such circumstances, itis necessary to keep provision of fans and other suitable cooling arrangements, 4. Aninterior fan system should be engineered to help efficient air circulation, when there 's no natural breeze. This system may be moved for best coverage, and must be properly maintained, 5. Side wall curtains should be available to protect the interior during cooler periods or stormy period, 6. Shiny, reflective material or white washed roofing can be helpful 7. Foggers which emit a fine mist will be helpful when the outside relative humidity is not ‘more than 60 to 70 percent. The fogging units should be adjusted so that ltter does not become wet. Fillers should be used in the water lines to prevent clogging of the nozzles. One should use sanitized water to avoid spread of water borne diseases, 8. Grown up birds are comfortable at 28 to 30° c temperature with relative humidity of 65 to 75% in tropical climates. Eno Sng During the initial weeks of brooding period, higher temperature at chick levelis required i.e. 95. 10 85°F. In extreme climates outside temperature goes beyond tolerance limit of chicks which is indicated by panting. This results in lowering feed consumption and slow growth. High temperature with humidity more than 65% will create uncomfortable situation for the birds.24 t0 30°C ‘Comfortable 3110 34°C Mild Stress, Panting noticed 3510 38°C Birds are under stress, increase rate of panting higher water consumption and reduced feed consumption.

The reduced feed intake and subsequent loss of needed nutrients affect the productivity of the flocks. Growth retardation occurs in growing birds. Laying flocks typically have a reduction in 999 size, followed by lowered egg production and reduced egg shell quality Energy requirement is reduced in summer, Protein, mineral and vitamin requirement remains the same. Replace other dietary energy with distary fat, as fats have lowest heat increment, Ensure that the non energy nutrients, such as protein, amino acids, vitamins and minerals are increasedin the formula in proportion to the decrease in eedintake. If protein content of the feed is reduced by 0.5 % below calculated value to reduce heat generated, increase syntheticlysine and metheonine tofulfllthe nutrient requirements Inemergency situations (heat wave) spray with cool water to save the birds ifthe humidity is not high een Tips z Raised platform houses with good air movement East west orientation of houses with sufficient overhang of roof to prevent direct sunlight on birds "= Greenery around the houses 36‘Shade giving trees in between the houses leaving sufficient distance say 30 ft.

Artificial ight should be evenly distributed all over the house 6. Light bulbs or fluorescent tubes should be so located that the feeders and waterers to receive enough lighting directly. 7. Fluorescent bulbs /tubes should be cleaned at regularintervals. 8. Eggs should be able toroll out smoothly, avoiding collision or breakage. Provide coir or nylon ropes at egg roll area to reduce the egg breakage. 9. The height of the cage should be such that the workers should be able to see them well ‘enough to spotdead birds or non-functioning equipment. 10. Adequate ventilation should be provided in the laying house. Sheds should be protected from extreme heat or cold by providing adequate insulation or wet curtains. 3711, Provide adequate clean feed storage with proper cover to avoid the entry of rodents, 12. Preventing the entry of rats, wild birds, parasites, etc, should be a point to remember hile designing the poultry house. 13. Dead birds should be removed deily and disposed off by burning them in an incinerator or by proper burial. 14. Periodical cleaning of wire mesh and roof for the cobwebs will provide better hygienic conditions and facilitate proper ventilation 15. Depending upon the height of the house wherever necessary, remove the litter or reduce the heightof the litter material 16. Regular virucidal and bactericidal spray in and around poultry houses wil help in reducing the load of pathogens. The disinfectants may be changed at regular intervals to get properefficacy of the product 17.Check the water quality at drinking levels periodically.
