I. Introduction
Broiler poultry farming is a lucrative business. Generally, highly meat
productive birds or poultry breeds are called broiler poultry. But broiler
chicken is a special species of poultry, which is a great secret. Only four
countries of the world know about this secret, and they supply and maintain all
the demands of broiler chickens.
II. Objectives
1. To provide knowledge and skills about care and managements
of chicks.
2. To learn more about raising chicken for their meat and order to
damage a small-scale skills of backyard farming.
3. To develop a new idea about raising broiler for the future
business.
III. Problems Encountered
Disease and infections have always been a major concern to poultry.
Sanitation the pathogen organisms are present but are not a threat to the
bird’s health. The most important thing to remember when striving for a
sanitized environment is that cleanliness is essential. So, to maintain
cleanliness even in the chicks or in its cage, everything must be organized
whether outside or inside it. Before Jennelyn my sister puts the feed and
drink, she first washes food tray and drink container before giving food to the
chicks. She also cleans the cage of the broiler and when the cardboard box is
full of dirt, she removes it and puts the waste in the waste disposal and
replaces it with a new cardboard box in the floor of broiler house to prevent
any infection or disease caused. And the dirt that usually accumulates and
causes a smell at the bottom is also removed and cleaned by her and puts it
in the sack to be used as fertilizer for the crops. She does his cleaning three
times a week and it requires attention, care and proper cleaning to keep the
broilers away from infection or disease that we do not expect.
IV. Activities Undertaken
HOUSING
The brooding room should be heated prior to arrival of the chicks. A newly
hatched supplemental heat to maintain its body temperature, therefore an
external heat source must be to chicks in the first few weeks.
In the process of brooding, it is necessary that before the chicks arrive their
housing must be ready and arranged. Housing is their place from the
beginning and until it grows up. Jose Erlan Salgado was the one who made
the cage of the chicks because he was in school those days. He just helped
when it was over. In its preparation the cardboard box that controls the cold is
already placed inside and on the floor of the prison and inside are their food
containers and drink containers. And their infrared bulb is positioned in the
middle of the brooder ring. The brooder rings are used to confine chicks in a
small area close to feed and water ultimately allowing comfort level. Jose
Erlan Salgado was the one who put the curtain around the outside of the
cage, but the only available things he put were the tarpaulin and old tarpaulins
which control the cold and protection of the newly hatched chicks.
Brooding
Brooding is the period after hatch when special care and attention must be
given to chicks to ensure their health and survival. Brooding is also classified
as natural and artificial brooding, and it ensures the proper growth of body
tissues in chickens. The development of tissues through brooding helps gain
a proper body temperature and a good body framework. In brooding care, she
used a lamp with an infra-red bulb with 50 watts that has placed in the center
of the cage to give the chicks right temperature. And when they feel hot father
raises the bulb and when it cold, she lowers it. Proper attention and care are
required for brooding and the continuous giving of food and drink to it. And the
light is 24 hours to prevent the chicks from getting cold and to give them right
warmth for their continued development until their maturity. Prior the delivery

VII. Summary:
Practicing in raising broiler maybe in our home, vacant area or poultry area
that far in the road and having a proper place and proper waste disposal. To
maintain the cleanliness, care and proper feeding of broiler. How to raise
chicken and to produce the different domestic birds, provide feathers, and
eggs meat. Getting the initial and final weight of the broiler and the first and
last.
