Question

Explain in short poultry management.

Answer 1

The following considerations must be considered when managing poultry:

1. Choosing an appropriate and disease-free breed, as well as adequate and safe farm circumstances.
2. Proper feeding technique, as well as feed and water quality.
3. Bird hygiene and health care.
4. Layers are managed by selecting high-yielding chicken. They keep their farms clean, dry, and properly ventilated. They are fed at the appropriate times. Other issues, such as debeaking, are also addressed.
5. Infrastructure such as good and adequate lighting, placing waterers at strategic locations, cleanliness, culling, and immunisation are prioritised on the farm.
6. Broiler management also covers breed selection, housing, temperature, ventilation, lighting, floor space observation, and broiler feed.
