Factors to be considered in Selecting Broiler and Layer Stocks

Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. enumerate and identify different broiler and layer breeds;
2. know and apply the guides in selecting foundation stock to raise.

In Lo2 of the Module on Brooding and Growing Chicks, you will

memorize and identify different broiler and layer breeds. In this section
too, we will discuss the guides in selecting foundation stock to raise.

Different broiler and layer stocks respond to different

environments. Therefore, selection of stock needs careful consideration.
Currently, numerous broiler and layer strains are available in the
local market. In general, however, not one of these strains can be best
under Philippine conditions because performance record varies under
different set of conditions. Some farmers frequently change the strains of
birds they raise, in attempt to find the particular strain that will perform
better in their particular condition.
The following are some parameters used in selecting a strain of
broiler and layer to be raised:

GUIDES IN SELECTING FOUNDATION STOCK TO RAISE

1. Stock should be purchased from reliable hatchery or franchised
dealer.
2. The kind of stock to raise depends upon the purpose for which it is
going to raised.
3. Chicks should be free from diseases and deformities.
4. For broilers, choose that have high livability and fast grower.
5. For layers, choose those that have good egg size, high egg production,
and long productive life.
6. Whether for meat or eggs, choose those that have high feed efficiency

Brooding
Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. perform brooding activity;
2. assess chicks’ behaviors inside the brooder.

Brooding is the process of providing supplemental heat to the

chicks from hatching up to the time that the chicks have grown sufficient
feathers and have developed its thermoregulatory system to control their
own body temperature. The brooding period covers the first 4-6 weeks of
the chicks’ life.
During this period, optimum heat should be provided to the chicks
to prevent them from chilling, which may predispose them to disease and
eventually death. The use of a hover system or other brooding devices
such as curtains and paper matting in slatted floor should be used to
supply proper temperature. Vaccinations against respiratory diseases
(ND and IB) and debeaking are usually done during this period.

Terms:

1. BROODING
-the process of supplying artificial heat to the chicks from the time
they are taken out from the incubators up to the time their bodies can
control their heat requirement.

2. Brooder
-some kind of tub or container for them to live in. The brooder can be a
galvanized metal feeding tub, a large plastic feeding trough, or even a
circle of cardboard.

3. Heat lamp can be infrared bulb, ordinary bulb, charcoal or kerosene

lamp.

4. Cannibalism is a bad habit prevalent among chickens of all ages. It

usually starts from toe and feather pecking which may results in serious
wounding and death of birds.

5. Debeaking is usually done by trimming the upper and lower

mandibles using an electrically controlled cauterizing blade.

What to DO’s before, during and after the arrival of chicks?

1. We should make sure that the brooder has been disinfected 2
weeks before the arrival of the chicks.
2. All the necessary materials should also be prepared and cleaned
prior to the coming of chicks.
3. Warm up the brooder house 1hr before the arrival of chicks.
4. Place the box of chicks inside the brooder house then get them
outside the box carefully.
5. Count the chicks for verification and for recording purposes.
6. Isolate those weak/deformed chicks for medication and attention
giving. Bury or burn those chicks died as of the arrival.
7. Give them electrolytes.
8. After 30 minutes to 1hr, give them correct amount and type of
feeds.
9. Have a regular check or monitoring of your chicks to identify
problems or abnormalities on their behavior or in the brooder
itself.
10. Do some recordings of your observation for reporting.

SET OF TEMPERATURES
FOUND TO BE IDEAL FOR
BROODING

BASIC REQUIREMENT FOR BROODING DAY-OLD CHICKS

 1. SUFFICIENT HEAT
-provide heat during day or night and avoid changes in brooder
temperature during the first two weeks of life.

*Behavior of the DOC can be used as guidelines for correct brooding

temperatures

Fig. 1. The chicks feel

comfortable and evenly
distributed around the
hoover when the
temperature is right

Fig. 2. There is a draft

when the chicks wedge
behind the hoover

Fig. 3. It is too hot when the chicks open

their wings and move away from the heat
source

 Fig. 4. It is too cold when the

chicks chirp and pile under the
hoover






-The brooder guards should be place 90-120 cm from the edge of the hover
to keep the chicks close to the heat source for the first few days.
-For heaters which are provided with hover, adjust hover height to the
existing temperature and needs of the birds. Maintain a minimum of 12-
16cm clearance above the back of the birds.
-For heaters without hover, adjust the amount of heat by regulating the
inflow of air or by adjusting the amount of fuel.

2. ADEQUATE LIGHT AND VENTILATION

 a well lighted brooder attracts and encourages the chicks to
start feeding.
 provide sufficient ventilation to supply plenty of oxygen and
facilitate the removal of carbon dioxide and excess moisture.

3. AMPLE SPACE TO AVOID OVERCROWDING

 overcrowding leads to poorly developed chicks, high mortality,
as well as harmful vices like toe picking, feather picking or
cannibalism.

4. HEALTHY STOCKS
 select only healthy chicks. Avoid chicks with wet vents and dull
eyes

5. CORRECT FEEDING
 feed the chicks intermittently rather than continuously.
Research studies have shown that when using intermittently feeding,
chicks utilize nutrients better.
 do not allow feed troughs to go empty longer than one to two
hours.

6. PROPER SANITATION
 cleanliness and dryness of the brooding quarters will prevent
contamination of the chicks from parasites and diseases.

7. REGULARITY OF CARE AND MANAGEMENT

 Environment should be kept as uniform as possible, sudden changes
in surroundings causes a certain degree of stress.
 It is advisable that a regular caretaker, feed the chickens following
definite schedule during the first three weeks of life.

8. ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL
 optimum house temperature for laying birds is between 18 – 29
degree Celcius
 flocks health and performance are highly dependent on
temperature control and good ventilation.

-after 7 to 10 days the brooder floor mats can be removed.

-more feeders and waterers should be made available as the chicks grow.
-vaccination is a good measure to prevent the outbreak of diseases
-all weak, deformed, and sickly chicks should be culled right away and
properly disposed off.
-the immediate burning or burying of dead birds is an important part of a
good sanitation program.

 An electric- hover type brooder has built-in resistant coil that provides
heat.
 However, in adopting electrically operated brooders, consider the cost
of operation and reliability of power source

2.Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)

 Can be used in areas where fuel sources are expensive and not
available at all.
 Popularly used in large-scale poultry farms
 Found to be effective and efficient in providing heat for large number
of chicks at a relatively lower cost.

 Answer Key To Questioning Tool

Extension/Reflection Question
1. We assess the chicks intelligently by, first is to understand the
different behaviors of them. We should know the meaning of the different
gestures they are to show.
2. Their behavior and physical condition are the hints which may tell you
what the real condition of your birds is.
3. Disinfection of the brooder before the arrival of the chicks is very
necessary to assure that it is clean and free from any pests, diseases,
and bacteria that may infest our poultry.
4. Accomplishing records is important because it may tell you how your
business runs. It can help you in many ways like in monitoring,
inventory, financial matters, medication, etc.

Safety Questions
5. We need to wear PPE before entering the poultry house for our own
protection as well as to minimize the entry of foreign organisms.
6. We apply good bio-security measures like good housing and fencing to
control and prevent pests and diseases to infest our birds.
7. Precautions for the handling of chemical disinfectants include the
safety procedures such as avoid contact in the eyes and skin, as
prescribed by the company written in the product label of the chemical
being used. It is also important to place it in a safer spot where children
and youth cannot reach them.
8. We should regularly clean disinfect our isolation room because it
serves as the recovery room for those sick and weak birds though there
are still other uses of the isolation room.

Contingency Questions
9. You may use kerosene lamp as your heat source.
10. We may prevent our birds to be ruined by flood by establishing a
good drainage. We can also make our poultry house to become a little
higher.
11. We can minimize damages of strong winds by putting chick curtains
and good wallings.
12. We should make a total disposal of affected birds, on the other hand,
we can still save those uninfected poultry. We should conduct total
disinfection of our poultry house.
Job Role/Environment Questions
13. Used beddings of our brooder like old newspapers may be used as
organic fertilizer because they do decompose. You can also use them as an
organic material for your vermi if you have some.
14. There are so many ways to minimize the foul odor ruining your poultry
atmosphere as well as your neighbors. The first way is to maintain the
cleanliness of your farm. Dispose the wastes properly. Give much attention
to the manure. It must always be dry. You may use rice hull or carbonize
rice hull so as spraying the manure with different deodorant like wood
vinegar, EM, EMAS, etc.
15. Mortalities should be burn or bury.
16. We should use electricity wisely. Administer proper lighting program,
use correct wattage of bulb during brooding, and utilize the natural breeze
for ventilation.
Rules and Regulations
17. A core definition of total quality management (TQM) describes a
management approach to long–term success through customer satisfaction.
In a TQM effort, all members of an organization participate in improving
processes, products, services, and the culture in which they work.
18. The importance of the agricultural systems principle ISO 9000 is in the
quality management systems of Agricultural Marketing.
19. We should hold Business permit, Barangay permit and the
Environmental Compliance Certificate from the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources.

Training Evaluation Report

 1. Title of the Report : Institutional Assessment on Animal Production
(Chicken-Poultry) NC II

2. Executive summary: Each trainee should pass the institutional

assessment.

3. Rationale: As per mandate by TESDA, all trainees should undergo

mandatory assessment right after the training. Every trainer is
encouraged to conduct institutional assessment.

4. Objective: Institutional assessment is given to determine that the

training conducted is in line with the standard of competency.
5. Methodology: CBT delivery and modular approach training are
applied.

6. Results and discussion

Data interpretation
It was observed that the most of the trainee passed the national
assessment since the curriculum content jive with the assessment
content as per training regulation based on competency standard.

Data analysis
90% of the trainee passed the National Assessment as soon as the
Trainer religiously conducted the training based on the competency
standard.

Conclusion
In our training situation, CBT delivery enables the trainer to catalyze
the knowledge, skills and attitude of the trainee.

7. Recommendation
It was highly recommended that the conduct of training should follow
the CBT delivery and modular approach.

 OPERATIONAL PROCEDURE
Equipment Type Brush Cutters
Equipment Code BT-01
Location Practical Work Area
Operation Procedure:

1. Take a careful look around to make sure that no obstacles exist within a
perimeter of 15m or less around brush cutter.
2. Place the body of the brush cutter onto the ground in a flat clear area and
hold it firmly in place so as to ensure that neither the blades nor the throttle
come into contact with any obstacles when the engine starts up.
 3. Place the throttle into the idling position when starting the engine.
4. After starting up the engine, if the blades continue to rotate even after the
throttle has been moved fully back, turn off the engine and check the
throttle wire and other parts.
5. When using your brush cutter, do not grip other part except the handles.
6. If the blade touches a hard object like a stone, immediately stop the engine
and check if there something wrong with the blade. If so, replace the blade
by new one.
7. Never touch the muffler, spark plug, or other metallic parts of the engine
while the engine is in operation or immediately after shutting down the
engine. Doing so may result in serious burns.
8. When you finish cutting in one location and wish to continue work in
another spot, turn off the engine and turn the unit as the blade faces away
from your body.
9. After using, brush off dirt from the machine, check damage or slack of each
part. If you find abnormalities, repair them for the next use.
10. Keep it in its proper storage area.
