Some suggestions for poultry farming

It is the best time to replace the stock. Cull the unprofitable birds to provide sufficient space to young chicks. Brooding in these days can be carried out easily. Reduce the thickness of litter and change the wet liter. Provide cool and fresh water to birds. Provide sufficient number of waterers to avoid excess movement of birds. Vaccination schedule must be followed strictly. Vaccinate the chicks of 6-8 weeks of age with Ranikhet disease vaccine and fowl pox vaccine at 8-10 weeks of age. Start deworming the pullets at 3 months of age and then regularly at one month interval. White wash the poultry shed from outside especially roof. This will help to reflect the sun rays. Provide artificial lights during early morning so that birds can consume feed in cool hours. In order to compensate decrease in feed intake, level of all the nutrients need to be increased.
