1. Brooder/Chick House- it is used to brood and rear
egg-type chicks from 0 to 8 weeks of age.

2. Grower House- it is used to grow egg-type birds from


9 to 18 weeks of age.

3. Brooder Cum Grower House- here, the birds are


reared from 0 to 8 weeks of age (entire brooding and growing period of egg-
type chicken

4. Layer House- in which birds over 18 weeks of age are


reared, usually up to 72 weeks of age.

5. Broiler House- in which broilers (meat-type birds) are


reared up to 5/6 weeks of age.

7|P age
6. Breeder House- in which both male and female
breeders are maintained at appropriate sex ratio.

7. Environmentally Controlled (EC) House- in which,


entire environment is manipulated in such a way that is optimum for the
birds to growth.

A. Construction Details:

1. Foundation

2. Length

The length of the house can be any extent. The number of birds reared
and availability of the land determines the length of poultry house.

8|P age
3. Floor

4. Walls and Partition

9|P age
5. Doors

6. Roofs

7. Size

Each broiler require one square foot of floor space while a layer requires
two square feet of floor space under deep-litter system of rearing. So
the size of the house depends on the number of birds to be reared.

B. Location, Lay- out and design of Poultry Houses

C. Purpose of Housing

➢ To protect inclement weather, direct sun rays and rain.

➢ To minimize effect of dampness.

➢ To provide safety from their predators.

➢ To apply scientific management practices.

➢ To provide suitable, atmosphere for expression of full genetic


potential.

10 | P a g e
D. Basic Principles to be Observed for Layout

Lay out should not allow visitors (for office work) and outside
vehicles to come in contact with birds. From this, administrative
block and feed mill unit should be kept away from sheds on farm.

The younger birds should be kept away from disturbances due to


movements of outsiders. For which brooder and grower houses are
preferably located at far end of site, away from administrative block
and mill unit.

The houses of birds should be necessarily placed on the upwind flow


side to avoid cross-infection from adults to younger through air.

E. Ventilation

• Free flowing air in the house

• Reduce the temperature in house in summer

• Ventilation keeps the atmosphere healthy in house

• Ridge ventilators for house

Direction: TRUE OR FALSE. Write T if the statement is True and F if the


statement is false. Write your answer on the answer sheet provided
on the next page.

1. When the broilers move in to the new housing, the chicks are very sensitive.
2. Lay out should allow visitors to come outside vehicles to come outside in
contact with the birds.
3. The younger birds should be kept away from disturbances due to
movements of outsiders.
4. One of the purposes of housing is to provide safety from their predators.

5. Ventilation keeps the atmosphere healthy in house.

Prepare Tools, Materials and Equipment
worrequirements

It is essential for poultry raisers to know the right tools and equipment to
use in different tasks required in poultry production. The proper knowledge in
this area will generate maximum result for poultry farming business.

TOOLS

Spade
Used to collect animal droppings and manure.

Small hand shovel


This shovel is ideal for a multitude of purposes,
from coal to compost as well as chicken house
cleaning.

Spading fork
Used for loosening and digging out chicken
manure in deep litter and turning it from time
to time.

Rake
Long handled implement with a row of projecting
teeth at its head used for turning/disturbing the
layers from bottom to top of poultry wastes
accumulated in the farm.

27 | P a g e
MATERIALS

Water softeners and filters


Water with high total dissolved solids will cause deposits on the humidity
controls, spray nozzles, jets and valve seats.
Therefore, filter systems and water softeners are necessary to reduce the
TDS content of the water used for hatchery operations.

EQUIPMENT

Incubation Equipment

Setter
It is a machine in which proper temperature,
humidity and turning are provided for the
first 19 days of incubating chicken egg.

Hatcher
It is similar to that of setter but turning mechanism is not available and
the trays are designed to hold the newly hatched chicks.
Here the eggs are placed for the last three days of incubation.

Emergency standby electric plants


When there is a failure in the local electrical supply, the incubators must
have a secondary source of electricity.

Therefore, a standby electrical generator located on site, generally within,


or next to the hatchery building is imperative.

28 | P a g e
The standby electrical generator should have the capacity to support the
all essential services of the hatchery.

Hatchery automation equipment


It is used to further increase efficiency
and reduce physical labor. By connecting
the equipment to a network, you will be
able to monitor and control operations
from any point in the hatchery.

EGG HANDLING EQUIPMENT

Hatching egg trays


Generally hatching eggs are set in the flats
or bug-eye type trays. The capacity of each
tray is either 90 or 180 chicken eggs.

Hatching egg transfer machines


This is used to transfer the eggs from the
breeder farm trays to hatcher trays.
Vacuum egg lifts usually employed in the
hatcheries handling large volume of eggs.

29 | P a g e
EGG CANDLER
It is a lighting device, used to find out the
internal structure of eggs.

BROODER EQUIPMENT

Equipment used to provide warmth and light and to rear the baby chicks
during the first few weeks of life are called brooders.

The brooders consist of some heating source, reflectors to reflect the heat
and light towards the chicks, light and heat adjustment devices such as
stands, thermostats and other accessories, depending on the model.

Different equipment used for brooding are:

Charcoal Stove/Kerosene Stove


These are used in places where electricity is
not available or costly and where power failure
is quite common.

Gas brooder
Natural gas, LPG or methane is connected
to heating element which is hanged 3 to 5
feet above the chick to provide heat.

30 | P a g e
Electrical brooder
It is also thermostatically controlled heating
system that spread required amount of heat
uniformly above large area, this avoid crowding
of chicks under brooder directly.

Infra-red Bulbs
It is a self-reflecting bulb and hence no
need of reflector over the bulbs

FEEDING EQUIPMENT
♦Feeders are equipment used to feed the birds by, placing feed in them.
♦They may be conventional, semi-automatic of various designs and
shapes and made up of either metal or plastic.
♦Different feeding equipment are:

Automatic Feeder
- In case of automatic feeder, the feed is supplied to the entire length of
the poultry house by specially designed feed troughs with auger type or
chain type devices to move the feed from the feed bins to the other end.
- These are operated with electricity and the height of the feeder can be
adjusted depending upon the age of the birds.

31 | P a g e
Linear Feeder
Different sizes of lines feeder with guards are available.
Provision is also made to adjust the height of the feeder.
Linear feeders are usually made of galvanized iron. However, it can as well
be made out of any locally available material like wood, bamboo, etc.
Provisions for stability and adjustment in height at which the feeder stands
have to be made in its design. Birds can stand on either side of the linear
feeder.

Circular Feeder
These are semi-automatic feeders and
can hold 5 to 7 kg feed in its cone at a
time. The feed is slowly delivered to the
bottom by gravity.

WATER EQUIPMENT

Water Heaters
Hot water will be necessary for operating
most hatchery tray washers and for general
clean up. A large capacity boiler is generally
used to provide hot water.

32 | P a g e
WATERING EQUIPMENT
Waterers or drinkers are used to provide water to the birds.
Waterers are available in different sizes, design and shape.

Pan and Jar Type


This type of waterer is circular in nature,
having two compartments i.e. jar for filling
water and pan for delivering water.

Linear waterer/ Channel type waterers


This type of waterers is usually attached with cages for providing
continuous water supply. One end of channel type waterer is designed as
funnel shape to receive water from a tap and the other end has the
provision for draining the excess water.

Water basin made of plastic /wood/GI with grill


Basins of different diameters are available
A separate grill is available to prevent the
entry of birds inside the water.

Bell type automatic waterer


These are made of high impact plastic in a
bell shape usually suspended from separate
pipeline for the purpose. This type of waterers
has control over the water flow and maintains
the required water level always.

33 | P a g e
Nipple Drinker
It can be used both in deep-litter and in
cage system. These drinkers look like a
nipple and water drops comes out when
they are pressed.

Manual drinker
In case of chicks during first week of
brooding, manual drinkers are popularly used.
They are also referred as “fountain drinkers”
because water comes out of the holes like that
in case of a fountain.

VACCINATION EQUIPMENT

Syringe with needle/vaccine droppers


It is used to give vaccine drops through
intra-nasal or intra-ocular.

Automatic vaccinator
It is used to inject different doses of vaccine to
large number of birds in shorter period either
through intra-muscular or subcutaneous route.

34 | P a g e
MISCELLANOUS EQUIPMENT

Beak Trimmer
It is an electrical device used to cut a portion
of beak in order to prevent cannibalism among
birds.

Nest boxes
These are uses to get clean eggs and to avoid
floor eggs in layer or breeder houses.

Weighing balances
Different types of weighing balances are
available to weight birds or feed for record
and marketing purposes.

Perches/Roost
This is a wooden device usually kept at a
height of about 3-5’ from the floor in order
to help the bird to stand over it.

Clean and Disinfect Poultry House and Facilities in Regular Basis

What is Cleaning?

CLEANING is the process of removing unwanted substances, such as dirt,


infectious agents, and other impurities, from an
object or environment. Proper cleaning removes
most germs and is always done before using
disinfectants. This applies to all areas, including
floors, walls, equipment, and personnel.

Decontaminating your poultry house is crucial in


order to prevent Marek’s disease, mycoplasma,
respiratory viruses, [Link], mites, and other poultry health problems. Even more
important is the control of Salmonella Enteritidis (SE), especially in laying hens.

In order to reduce SE and other health risks, a complete dry cleaning, washing
and disinfection of the poultry house after each flock or at minimum once each
year is recommended. Successful cleaning is hard work and requires systematic
completion of several sequential steps. Every step is important.

Steps in Cleaning

1. Dry Cleaning

It is the process of cleaning with an organic solvent, without using water.


Example, Sweep or blow dust and other loose dirt off ceilings, light fixtures,
walls, cages or nest boxes, fans, air inlets etc. onto the floor.

2. Wet Cleaning

Turn the power off to the building prior to using any water for cleaning.
Wet cleaning is done in three steps: soaking, washing and rinsing. Warm or hot
water will do a better job getting through organic matter than cold water. You
can use a cheap neutral detergent, like dish soap.

47 | P a g e
Soaking
Soak the heavily soiled areas (perches and roosting areas, floors, etc.)
thoroughly. Use a low pressure sprayer to totally soak all surfaces.
Soak until the accumulated dirt and manure has softened to the point
it is easily removed.

Washing

Wash every surface in the building, especially window sills, ceiling trusses,
wall sills and any surface where dirt and dust may accumulate. The
washing solution can be either a neutral detergent (ph. between 6 and 8)
or an alkaline detergent (ph above 8). Acid detergent involves acid as the
major component which is used in dissolving mineral deposits (Calcium
and Magnesium precipitates) or hard water deposits from equipment
surfaces. Two main groups of acid detergents are: inorganic (HCL, H 2SO4),
and organic (Vinegar, Citric Acid).

Rinsing

A final rinse immediately after washing is recommended to remove any


harmful residues and to obtain a spotless building.

3. Drying
Thoroughly air-dry the building if disinfection cannot immediately follow
rinsing. Open all windows and ventilation openings. Use a blower or fan if
available. Cleaning on a dry, sunny day helps in the drying process.

4. Repairs
Make any repairs to the structure prior to the final disinfection step. Seal any
rodent entry holes at the outside and inside of the building. Apply a small
amount of spray foam insulation into the hole, then pack in fine steel wool and
top with more spray foam.

48 | P a g e
Disinfection

• Disinfection might kill the remaining disease agents


left after cleaning
• Disinfection is the least reliable step of biosecurity,
depends on many factors such as:
• the quality of cleaning the quality of cleaning
• the hardness of water
• quality and suitability of disinfectant quality and suitability of
disinfectant
• correct dilution and application

What are Disinfectants?


Disinfectants are chemicals that slow disease agent’s activity, multiplication and
their growth or kill disease agents.
Disinfecting kills germs on the surface, preventing them from spreading.
This is a crucial step which the small flock owner might normally overlook.
Disinfectants should be applied only after the building and equipment have been
thoroughly cleaned, ideally right after rinsing. Disinfectants can be applied by
sprays, aerosols or fumigation. Don’t be intimidated by the thought of
“fumigating” your hen house: for smallest flock facilities, using a garden type
sprayer is the easiest method, and chances are you already have a suitable
disinfectant around the house.

Common Types of Disinfectants

Disinfectants are divided into several groups based on their chemical structure
Like:

• phenolic compounds (e.g., Pine-sol, One Stroke, Osyl),


• iodine or iodophors, (e.g., Betadine and Weladol),
• chlorine compounds (e.g., Clorox, generic bleach),
• quaternary ammonium compound (e.g., Roccal D Plus) and
• oxidizing compounds (e.g., Virkon S, Oxy-Sept 333).

49 | P a g e
Follow the manufacturer’s directions for mixing and dilution of these
disinfectants.

When selecting the disinfectant, carefully consider these:

* The type of surface being treated.


* The cleanliness of the surface.
* The type of organisms being treated.
* The durability of the equipment/surface material.
* Time limitations on treatment duration.
* Residual activity requirements

Choosing the Right Disinfectant

The choice of disinfectant will depend on the following:

➢ Cost
➢ Type of disease agent/s to be destroyed
➢ Amount of contamination by organic matters such as: droppings, blood
and manure left in the poultry house
➢ Active ingredient the chemical compound and concentration that its
contained

Here are several considerations for getting the best results from a
disinfectant:

• Consider the disinfectant’s effectiveness on organisms of greatest


concern. Not all disinfectants are effective against all organisms.
• Clean and disinfect in separate operations.
• Disinfectant solutions are more effective when applied in warm
solutions rather than cold solutions. Hot solutions can reduce
disinfectant efficiency.
• Few disinfectants are effective instantaneously; allow enough contact
time (usually 30 minutes is sufficient).
• Embryos are very sensitive and severely affected by chemical vapors.
Use disinfectants having least effect on embryo development.

• Allow all surfaces to dry thoroughly before reuse. Dryness reduces


reproduction and spread and transport of germs.

51 | P a g e
• Improper use of disinfectants can damage or hinder the function of
equipment. Some disinfectants are corrosive or clog spray nozzles of
water systems.
• Always follow label directions for their safe use. Never sacrifice
personal safety for cost savings or productive efficiency.

Common questions

Powered by AI

Emergency response training is crucial for poultry farm workers to ensure safety and minimize the risk of injury or property damage during emergencies. Training should encompass hazard identification, use of emergency equipment, evacuation procedures, and coordination among team members. It enables workers to handle unexpected situations effectively, thereby safeguarding both humans and animals on the farm .

When disinfecting a poultry house, factors such as the type of disinfectant, concentration, contact time, and environmental conditions should be considered. Proper cleaning before disinfection is crucial to remove organic matter that can inhibit the effectiveness of disinfectants. Additionally, understanding the life cycle of disease-causing organisms helps in choosing the right disinfection strategy to effectively reduce the pathogen load and prevent the spread of diseases like Marek’s disease and Salmonella .

Vaccination equipment, such as syringes and automatic vaccinators, play a critical role in poultry health management by ensuring that vaccines are administered efficiently and accurately to large numbers of birds. This helps in the prevention and control of diseases, minimizing mortalities, and reducing the incidence of outbreaks within the flock. In turn, it improves productivity and economic benefits for the poultry operation .

OSHS outlines core safety measures such as the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), regular training on emergency procedures, and risk assessments to identify potential hazards like chemicals and machinery. These measures are important to ensure a safe working environment, reduce the risk of injuries, and comply with legal standards. This not only protects the workforce but also ensures uninterrupted farm operations .

Environmental temperature control systems are fundamental in poultry houses to maintain optimal living conditions, support growth, and enhance productivity. Technologies such as thermostatically controlled heaters, brooding devices, and sprinklers help regulate temperatures and provide consistent climates that prevent stress and related health issues. These systems ensure that chicks and chickens are kept within their comfort zones regardless of external weather conditions .

Maintaining optimal humidity levels in poultry houses is crucial for promoting healthy growth and preventing diseases. High humidity can lead to respiratory problems and the spread of diseases, while low humidity can result in dehydration and stress in birds. Farmers can achieve optimal humidity by using tools like water softeners and filters to manage water quality, and using sprinklers to cool the surroundings and maintain a consistent atmospheric condition .
