Q

Tips in Constructing Poultry Houses

A
  1. LOCATE POULTRY HOUSE IN AREAS WHERE THERE IS FREE AIR CIRCULATION
  2. CONSTRUCT LONG NARROW POULTRY HOUSE (8-10 ft) FOR LAYERS
  3. ORIENT THE LENGTH OF THE POULTRY HOUSE ON A NORTH EAST-SOUTH WEST DIRECTION
  4. PROVIDE SUFFICIENT AIR VENTS TO PERMIT HOT AIR TO ESCAPE
  5. USE ROOFING MATERIALS THAT PROVIDE GOOD INSULATION
  6. WALLS
  7. POULTRY HOUSES SHOULD BE ELEVATED
17
Q

Types of Poultry Houses

A
  1. BROODER HOUSE
  2. GROWER HOUSE
  3. LAYERS HOUSE
  4. BROILER HOUSE
18
Q

Houses the chicks for approximately 4 weeks when they no longer need heat to keep them warm and comfortable

A

BROODER HOUSE

19
Q

Various types of Brooders

A
  1. LITTER FLOOR
  2. SLAT FLOOR
  3. BATTERY or CAGE BROODERS
20
Q
  • Intended for layers

- Can either have litter flooring, slat-floor pens, combination of litter and slat floor or individual cage system

A

LAYERS HOUSE

21
Q
  • After brooding, the chicks are transferred to the growing house to provide them with wider floor space
  • They are kept until they are about to lay eggs at about 20 weeks of age
A

GROWER HOUSE

22
Q

Advantages of Caging Layers

A
  1. HIGHER RATE OF PRODUCTION
  2. AVOIDS COMPETITION FOR FEED & WATER
  3. EASE OF MANAGEMENT
  4. REDUCED INCIDENCE OF PARASITISM
23
Q

Disadvantages of Caging Layers

A
  1. EXPENSIVE
  2. BIGGER NUMBER OF DIRTY & BROKEN EGGS
  3. TENDENCY TO SUFFER MORE STRESS AND ALSO HEAT DURING SUMMER MONTHS
  4. DIFFICULTY IN CONTROLLING FLEAS & MITES
24
Q
  • Constructed in order to put the entire flock under one house until the birds are ready for market
  • The latest innovation is growing them in cages to simplify crating and hauling the broilers to the processing plant
A

BROILER HOUSE

25
Q

Disadvantage of Broiler House

A

DEVELOPMENT OF BREAST BLISTERS

26
Q
  • Sores that develop near the bird’s keel bone
  • Caused by prolonged contact between the keel and solid surfaces which could be caused by repeated or continuous, low-grade trauma, collision associated trauma or self-mutilation
A

BREAST BLISTERS

27
Q

Early signs of Breast Blisters

A

NOTICEABLE THINNING OF THE FEATHERS IN THE AREA OF THE KEEL BONE & REDDENING OF THE SKIN IN THE AREA

28
Q

Roofing Styles

30
Q

Using rice hull, saw dust, sand or any absorbent materials

A

LITTER FLOOR

31
Q

Advantages of Litter Floor

A
  1. NOT VERY EXPENSIVE

2. LESSER INCIDENCE OF BREAST BLISTERS, ESPECIALLY BROILERS

32
Q

Disadvantages of Litter Floor

A
  1. VOLUME OF MANURE MAY BECOME BULKY THAT DISPOSAL IS A PROBLEM
  2. HIGHER INCIDENCE OF PARASITISM
33
Q

Using bamboo splits, lumber or wood

A

SLAT FLOOR

34
Q

Advantages of Slat Floor

A
  1. AFFORDS BETTER AIR CIRCULATION

2. LESSENS CHANCES OF PARASITISM INFECTION

35
Q

Disadvantage of Slat Floor

A

HIGH INCIDENCE OF BREAST BLISTERS, ESPECIALLY ON WIRE FLOORS

36
Q
  • Slats may cover only about half the floor (the strip down the center of a long)
  • The slat portion is raised high enough above the subfloor to provide a pit for the accumulation of manure
