Tips for Improving Poultry Performance Potential
2

• 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.

4

• 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.

5

• 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.

6

• 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.

7

• Water Management -
• Water accounts for 7080 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

8

• 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.

9

• 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.

10

• 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.

11

• 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.
