BROODING STAGE Housing Features
Food and Water it should be accessible all the time to ensure their proper growth and secure them from starvation and dehydration that will cause mortality on our new batch. Proper Ventilation should be provided for the growth and oxygen of the chick. Light or Heat should always be present in the house for it will help them build their feathers and keeping them dry all the time.
Importance
To reduce Mortality Rate when in brooding and when we start to put them in a group on free range stage.
BROODING STAGE Light and heat proportion Automatic 31˚-33˚ on their housing. Manual observe their activities in the brooding area. Food and water intake Food should be unlimited Water should always be fresh at all times Note
Water and food dispenser should always be cleaned before using. Cleanliness on brooding houses should properly observed all the time. In order to lessen the mortality rate on this stage.
