Feed Preparation For Chick ArrivalLitter material should be spread evenly to a
depth of 3–4 in (7.5–10 cm) and then levelled and compacted in the brooding area.
The necessary equipment must be assembled in the appropriate configuration.
Chick Quality Layer chicks placements should
be planned to ensure: ✔ Differences in age and/or
immune status of parent flocks are minimized.
One parent flock per Layer flock is the ideal. For large farm complexes, one production
house could be considered to be one flock.
How is Biosecurity Achieved ?Outside Perimeter
High fences prevent intruders such as animals and people from entering the premises and possibly transmitting diseases to the flock.
What are the Economic Benefits of Biosecurity ?
By reducing diseases and pathogens:The producer saves money by not having to
euthanize (kill painlessly) all the birds in the infected flock. Depending on the size of the flock, the economic
loss could be worth millions of dollars.
How is Biosecurity Achieved ?No contact with outside birds
Since most avian diseases are transmitted through the air, it is highly important to have no contact with outside birds within 72 hours of entering a facility. This includes pets as well as birds from other flocks.
Management and Knowledge
Good Production
