Space management:
Space management: Age (days) | Space/bird (Sq. ft.) 0-3 | 0.22 4-7 | 0.22-0.30 8-14 | 0.30-0.45 15-21 | 0.45-0.60 22 onwards | Full space
Expand the brooding area gradually
Expand the brooding area gradually Overcrowding leads to huddling, dampness of litter, multiplication of disease causing organism. Less space give away to competition, which causes to become weak and die due to starvation. Inadequate space and improper equipments alignment will decrease the bird performance.
Curtain Management:
Curtain Management: Generally in brooding period the side curtain should be more tightly sealed to preserve heat. This closed environment to the broiler farms may result in reduced air circulation. In such circumstances when you feel uncomfortable open side curtain and give fresh air.
