(SELECT HEALTHY STOCKS AND SUITABLE HOUSING)
Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. Compare and contrast the four areas of the chicken industry.
2. Select what kind of industry you are going to put up
3. Perform the proper sanitation and security in poultry farms
BROILER PRODUCTION
Producing meat is the main focus of the broiler production area in the
chicken industry. This form of production concentrates on growing meat birds
by the fastest and most efficient method possible. Producers will enter into a
company contract, receive birds from a hatchery, and generate broilers to
market weight in about six weeks.
Broiler Facilities
Broilers are typically raised in specialized buildings that are completely
opened inside, allowing the chickens to roam the entire area. Broilers are not
raised in cages. These buildings offer automated heating, ventilation, water,

and feed systems. The floor used in a broiler production building is an earthen
floor that is covered by “litter.” Litter is an absorbent material that serves as
bedding.
EGG PRODUCTION
Egg production
involves the production of
high-quality eggs for
human use. Laying hens
are housed in specifically
designed cages in a sound,
ideal environment.
Typically, the eggs are
collected, cleaned, and
graded on-site. Producers
maintain clean, well-
efficient facilities and try
to get one egg per hen each
day.
Egg Production Facilities
Egg production buildings or layer houses also use automated heating,
ventilation, water, and feed systems. These birds are housed in specially
designed cages that offer comfort and good health to the hens. These cages
provide a feeder tray and water nipple. Below the cages is an automated egg
collecting system.
This system allows eggs to be collected in a very efficient and sanitary manner.

Egg Production Practices
Raising layers for egg production requires attention to lighting,
temperature, feeding, egg production, and egg collection. It is very important
to provide hens an ideal environment to produce eggs. Control panels within
the building control the lighting program for the hens. Light programs are
important because the length of light hours indicates to the birds when to
begin egg production. When hours of light are increased, hens are brought
into production.
The ideal temperature range for a shell egg layer house is set between 57° and
79 °F.
REPLACEMENT PULLETS
Replacement pullets are raised for egg production. These pullets will
replace hens in current egg production. The pullets are raised until they reach
20 weeks of age by the pullet producer. These birds are then transferred to an
egg production site.
BROILER BREEDERS
Broiler breeders are chickens that are used to produce fertile eggs that
will be hatched to become broilers. These chickens are selected based on
genetic background and their potential to produce high-quality meat birds.
Identification:
1. They are grown in a similar environment and use similar equipment
for feed and water.
2. Automated feeding trough and watering trough.
3. Factors affecting profitable
bird weights
livability
contract agreements/payments
cash operating factors
like fuel
litter
electricity
maintenance
repair
4. When hours of light are increased, hens are brought into production.
5. In-line system take the laying, collecting and grading at the same place
while the off-line system transport the egg from laying facility to cooling and
transport to egg processing facility.

Steps/Procedure:
1. Look for chicks that are clearly eating, drinking and have
plenty of energy.
2. Select for the chicks that will frequently sleep, but avoid chicks
that are puffed up, with drooping heads.
3. Check for the tail end of each chick for pasty butt
4. Examine the beak for any discharge
5. Check for the weight of the chicks. It must be 35 grams, a day
old.
