To achieve good bird, barn, and gut health, operational excellence and attention to detail are required. A combination of quality nutrition, veterinary guidance, and increased attention to barn and bird management will help to ensure that birds have the best possible chance of performing at their peak. The following are some important poultry management Tips: Biosecurity - Biosecurity practises that are well-defined throughout broiler production (pre-, during, and post-placement) are critical to successful poultry production. Effective biosecurity can help with farm hygiene, vermin and insect control, and disease transmission within and between barns. Downtime - Adequate downtime of at least 14 days between flock placements, with appropriate cleaning and disinfection measures, helps to reduce disease transmission between flocks and allows time to prepare for the next flock. Preparation for placement - To help prevent losses during brooding and the rest of the grow out, pre-placement preparation is required before the new flock arrives. Heaters, floor temperature, temperature and relative humidity probes, ventilation, drinkers, feeders, and so on are all important considerations. Brooding Management - With today's improved genetic capabilities and rapid growth of birds, more time is spent during the critical brooding period. As a result, getting a good start in poultry production can have a big impact on the birds' future health and performance. The brooding Management is important for intestinal growth and the development of a healthy microflora. Controlling litter - In a poultry house, the litter serves as bedding for the birds. Birds will naturally peck at the litter in addition to standing and resting on it. Litter condition and quality have an impact on broiler intestinal health and profitability beginning with the placement of the chicks and continuing through production. Wet litter creates a vicious circle in terms of intestinal health. Wet litter, even in patches, can serve as a breeding ground for potential pathogens and may be the starting point for intestinal stress that develops and leads to disease if not properly managed. Consider the following factors to help prevent the formation of wet litter: type of material, litter quality, litter depth, water quality, drinker line management, lighting management, ventilation, and temperature. Too-dry and dusty litter is one of many signs that the birds aren't getting enough water. Too much dusty material can cause respiratory issues. Water Management - Water accounts for 70–80 present of the bird's daily drinking requirements. In general, poultry will consume more water than feed. As a result, the most important nutrient for poultry is water. A plentiful supply of clean water will reduce obstacles and improve performance. Consider the following factors of Poultry Watering System: • Quality, height, pressure, mineral content, and accessibility are all factors to consider. • prior to flock placement and during production, the cleanliness of drinker lines/regulators • Water line flushing between flocks and during production • Removal of biofilms and mineral build-up • Maintenance of drinking equipment Feed Management - Birds need easy access to food. Proper poultry feeder line height corresponding to the height of the birds helps to reduce feed waste and mixing feed with litter, as well as ensuring that all birds have access to feed. Adequate feed access can also be obtained by adhering to the feed line manufacturer's recommendations for the number of birds per feed pan or line of trough feeder. Birds will naturally peck at litter, but avoiding "out-of-feed" events helps to reduce the potential for excessive pecking at litter. Simple measures such as activating trigger feed pans and monitoring feed bin levels during barn checks can help in the prevention of such incidents. Density of stock - Higher poultry stocking density, combined with crowded housing conditions, has been shown to have a negative impact on performance, causing stress to both the birds and the intestinal microbiota. Lowering the stocking density throughout the bird's overall production may help to reduce challenges. Environmental management - The barn's general environmental management consists of many components, including temperature, relative humidity, ventilation, and lighting. Understanding how these components interact both individually and collectively can help guide your management practises. Observation during transitional periods - Increasing the frequency with which barns are walked and observing flock activity can help in disease detection. It is recommended that temperature, humidity, and ventilation inside the barn, as well as outside temperature, be monitored on a daily basis. Monitoring transition times can help you understand what's going on in the barn (e.g., from day to night, when birds are placed, during half-house brooding, feed changes, etc.). Monitoring feed and water consumption aids in tracking the progress of the flocks.
