Introduction

In this SBA, we are looking at Broiler production. Broiler production is the rearing of
broiler birds. This is where we raise and produce food for the economy. It is where
chicks are being kept, looked after.

Problem of Statement
To determine which type of treatment is more effective to two sets of broiler birds of six
weeks either traditional or modern.

OBJECTIVES:
To determine if molasses and aloe are effective medicine growing 100 broilers.

Aim
To determine what profit can be made from rearing two sets of broiler birds for six
weeks.

Methodology
Description of Activities in Broiler Production

● Preparation of Brooding area- The brooding area is a control environment that

provides warmth, feed, and water for day old chicks.
● Cleaning of the Pen- This is the process of removing old litter and washing down
the pen with clean boiling water in case there was a disease.
● Arrivals of the Chicks- This is the process of receiving the chicks, counting to
make sure that it’s the right amount, then placing them in the brooding area.
● Feeding of the Chicks- This is the process by which different feedings are given
to the chickens at different stages in order to grow, the feeding pan should be
adjusted to chest height. The water should also be healthy and clean, medication
is combined with the water.
● Turning of litter- The process by which the sawdust is turned over to remove the
old set and spread a fresh clean set.

Experimental Design

50 broiler birds will be purchased, they will be weighed and documented upon arrival,
25 will be fed on molasses, aloe and 25 will be fed on medication. Their weight will be
recorded on a weekly basis. In the sixth week they will be slaughtered, weighed,
recorded and compared.
 Materials and Equipments

Materials Uses

Water The use of this is to give the birds fresh

drinking water daily .

Knife The use of this is to slaughter the birds

Sawdust The uses of this is to provide comfort and

to prevent the broiler birds from getting
wet and coming into contact with the
floor

Feed The use of this is to give birds nutrients to

gain weight

Poly bag The use of this is to put slaughtered

chicken in

Disinfectant This is used to disinfect the brooding

house and the clean water and feeding
container

Slaughter cone This is used to place the birds In to be

slaughtered to prevent damage

Wheelbarrow The use of this is to carry chickens to the

kitchen to be refrigerated

Hay fork The use of this is to turn the litter

Medication The use of this is to prevent disease

Scotch Brite The use of this is to clean the feeding and

watering containers

Bleach The use of this is to clean the pen ,wash

off feeding and water containers to help
prevent diseases

Ration The use of this is to give the chicken the

amount of seedling need to gain weight

Equipment Uses
Scale The use of this is to weight the broiler bird
after being plucked

Watering Can The use of this is to provide birds with

water

Feeding pan The use of this is to provide birds with

food to eat

Hay fork The use of this is to turn over litter

knife The use of this is to slaughter the broiler

bird after 6-weeks

Production Activity

● House Preparation -This activity was done by using a shovel and a wheelbarrow
to remove litter . Feeding and Watering containers were washed and sanitised .
Brooding area was set up by parting off an area to put sawdust & materials were
then placed into the brooding area which was needed .
● Arrival of day old Chicks-In this activity upon arrival , the chicks were received ,
counted and documented.
● Daily Activity-In this activity feeder and water containers were sanitised and
refilled
● Slaughtering -slaughtering area was sanitised and prepared as we went along for
the chickens that were fully developed , they were then placed In the
slaughtering cone where the head was the cut .
● Dressing and Marketing-The Chickens were then dipped into boiling water
where the feathers were then separated from the skin of the chicken ,
Afterwards was then bagged up and marketed.
