baby chicks during the first few weeks of life.

Different Equipment Used for Brooding

a. Charcoal Stove / Kerosene Stove

This is used in places where electricity is not available.

b. Gas Brooder
The natural gas, LPG or methane is connected to the element which is
hanged 3 to 5 ft. above the chick to provide heat.
3
 c. Electrical Brooder
This is a thermostatically controlled heating system that spreads the
required amount of heat above the large area.

7. Feeding Equipment - It is used to feed the birds. It is either conventional,

semi-automatic, and made of metal and plastic.

What’s More

What’s up! Now that you know the different tools and equipment of
poultry production, try to review your lesson and do this activity.
