What’s In
Hello learners! Previously you studied about materials, tools and equipment
used in poultry production. Talking about installation of chick guard and portable
heaters, some of those items were also being used. By this time let us proceed to
the new lesson which is installing and adjusting chick guard, curtains and portable
heater.
What’s New
What Is It
Let us assume you have written and answered the given questions above.
What was your idea? Before anything may I ask you,whohas raised a chicken at
home? I know most of you have a chicken at home, am I right?
Now let us all start from an egg, Why do egg hatched? It is because of heat
supplied by hen at brooding stage. Brooding is the process of supplying heat. In the
case of a poultry houses, a brooder is also used.Brooder is defined as heated house
for chicks in the absence of hen.
12
Newly hatched chicks should stay inside a brooder to keep them warm and
dry. During this first week of life chicks could not withstand the cold temperature
outside considering that the chicks feathers this time are not fully developed.
Brooder is also the same as heater. Poultry houses used a portable heater.
Why it is called portable?
Portable means it can be easily carried or moved especially because it is a
smaller version than usual.
This time let us proceed to chick guard and curtains inside a brooder. Why
you should install chick guard and curtains? It is being installed or fixed to prevent
chicks from straying too far from the heat source. A curtain is a device to prevent air
from moving from one space to another. Chick guard will then be removed when
chicks learn the source of heat at the age one week. If you will ask what materials
can be used as a chick guard, you can use a card board, wire mesh or galvanized
iron with a diameter of five feet.
Brooding areas could be throughout the whole house but with rings of card
board often this is referred to as CHICK GUARD.
Now, in order to maintain or control the temperature the curtains must be
sealed, eliminate holes and cracks because it is where the air will enter and interfere
the desired temperature which is 29.4 to 32.2 degree centigrade.
As I have said as the chick becomes older, temperature must be controlled
and adjusted. How to do this? Just simply raise the height of bulb. Use 60 watt bulb
12-18 inches above the floor in a brooder. Infrared bulb is recommended. Four to six
weeks chicks should stay under a heat lamp.
What’s More!
Directions: Answer the following questions. Write your answers in the answer sheet.

Now how are you going to apply litter material? Simply spread on the floor
with 5 centimeter deep depth. The most important thing to remember is to keep litter
dry. When litter begins to retain.Moisture it will clump together. This will be prevented
through proper ventilation.
