Best weather and care for raising broilers
Poultry: Provide 14-16 hours light including daylight to your flock if the flock has come in production.
Provide extra grit in addition to marble powder in feed for a better quality of eggshell.
Keep the litter dry by stirring it 2-3 times a week. If there is any wet part of litter, remove it immediately. Keep the litter depth 4-5 inches.
It is a good time for raising broiler chicks. Get your chicks from a reputed hatchery. Provide broiler chick feed for the first 4 weeks and then broiler finishes ration for 2-3 weeks to attain proper weight.
Always use good quality balanced feed free from dust and molds to avoid infections and drop in egg production.
