breeders are maintained at appropriate sex ratio.
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.

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.
C. Purpose of Housing
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.
E. Ventilation
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.

Clean and Disinfect Poultry House and Facilities in Regular Basis
What is Cleaning?
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
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
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
Disinfectants are divided into several groups based on their chemical structure
Like:
49 | P a g e
Follow the manufacturer’s directions for mixing and dilution of these
disinfectants.
➢ 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

50 | P a g e
Phenols Slightly irritating, good residual activity,
General house use effective with organic matter
- It kills mold
Oxidizing
agents
Poor residual activity, corrosive,
Small utensils
ineffective in presence of organic material
Here are several considerations for getting the best results from a
disinfectant:
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.
