6
ASPECTS OF POULTRY INDUSTRY

• Production
• Feeding
• Meat Industry
• Egg Laying Industry

7
Industry Links to Each other

• All aspects of the industry couldnt survive
  without the other. Why????
• Without production of new chickens we couldnt
  have poultry for meat or egg laying.
• Without egg laying we couldnt have meat or
  layers.
• Without feeding, birds wouldnt survive

Without all of them youd
8
Production

• Production of chicks that will survive into
  broilers, layers and roosters
• Production of this can be for meat or egg
  production
• Send millions and millions of chicks over seas
  each year.

9
Feeding Industry

• Industry of feed production for millions and
  millions of chickens throughout the US
• Feed companies manufacture thousands of tons to
  feed chicks to adult chickens.

10
Poultry Meat

• High protein
• Low fat
• Economical to eat
• Quick to reproduce
• Most Consumed Meat in the United States

11
Eggs Produced by Poultry

• High source of protein- body builders or people
  on Atkins diets (reason are high now
• Used in cooking and baking (omelets, eggs,
  cakes, cookies)
• Good Breakfast food

12
Terms Associated With Poultry

• Layers
• Broilers
• Turkey
• Chick
• Rooster
• Hen
• Pullet

13
Birds Associated With Poultry

• Layers for egg production
• Example Leghorn (hybrids)
• Broilers meat production
• Example White Plymouth Rock, Cornish Crosses
• Producers usually buy chicks from hatcheries
• Turkeys must be artificially inseminated (have
  been bred for large breasts which makes it
  physically impossible to mate)

14
Chicken Terms

• What do you call a mature male?
• Rooster
• What do you call a mature female?
• Hen
• What do you call a young female?
• Pullet

15
If You Were Getting Started

• Order chicks early
• Only order what you can house
• Space requirements
• 10 square inches / chick under light
• 25 square inches / chick house space
• Chicks shouldnt be allowed to get more than 3 ft
  away from light

See what Foghorn has to say..
16
When they arrive

• Temperature 92-95 degrees under light, 70-75
  deg in house
• Decrease temp. 5 degrees / week until 60 degrees
• Teach how to drink right away
• If chicks are huddled together under light too
  cold
• If none are under light too hot
• Should be scattered

17
Management

• Debeaking remove 1/3 of the top beak and a small
  part of the bottom (prevent cannibolism)
• at 6-8 days old
• Vaccinate (hatchery can do this)
• Lighting birds naturally reproduce in spring,
  simulate spring, chickens molt (shed feathers)
  production increases

18
What a Big Corporation Farming Looks Like.

• Example Would be Tyson, Cargill, etc

19
Layer Care

• Collect eggs 2-3 times per day (if hot)
• Wash eggs immediately in warm water
• Refrigerate keep away from onions mold
• Production Goal 4 lbs feed / dozen eggs
• Hens produce 7 eggs / 10 days

20
Broilers

• Dont keep in cages (weak bones bruise easily)
• Keep light on at night (prevent cannibolism)
• Market at 4 1/2 lbs for males, 3 1/2 lbs for
  females (about 8 weeks)
• 2.1 lbs feed / lb of gain

21
Broilers, Made for Meat

• You can get from Tyson if you are an FFA program
• Tyson will ship an FFA program 100 chicks for
  them to show in Fairs
• Pen of threes are shown at fairs

22

40
Probably. Judging and identifying.

• Chickens
• Meats
