Broiler chickens have to be excellent in the poultry
business in addition to cattle chicken comes first performed. The
interesting thing about the business of broiler chickens is a fairly short
period of harvest. In just 40 days of broiler chickens can already be
harvested. This makes farmers who have limited capital can play faster and
reap capital gains. Furthermore the marketing of broiler chicken meat is
quite easy for the public interest will flesh this one is pretty big. But
not the least broiler breeders actually lose money and eventually shut down,
due to lack of knowledge in the field of broiler chickens.
Cause of losses in broiler chickens among other various high mortality rate,
long harvest time, the weight of the chicken does not meet the standard and
others. Therefore, broiler breeder must know in detail every step and
component of the critical success broiler chickens.
Broiler chickens in order to provide benefits to farmers, there are some things
that need to be observed by farmers include:
A. Broiler chicken coop SYSTEM
Broiler chicken houses must meet the technical requirements and animal health,
among others: do not leak when it rains, adequate ventilation and sunlight can
not enter directly into the cage.
The distance between the cage are not too tight, with a minimum distance
between the cage the width of one cage. Waterways or disposal around the
cage must be current.
Cage floor should be tilted to one or two ways to speed up the cleaning process
and prevent menggenangnya water in the cage.
Materials and construction of the enclosure must be strong and durable so it is
not easily damaged or endanger workers.
2. Broiler chicken coop EQUIPMENT
Equipment enclosure in broiler chickens, among others, a vital feeder (feeder),
where drinks (drinker), heater, protective zinc chick (chick guard), screen /
curtain enclosure lid and disinfectant spray (sprayer).
All equipment must be available in sufficient quantities. For if the
equipment is less than demand based on the number of chickens that are kept,
can cause problems such as: standard weight will be difficult to achieve. The
number of chickens that will dwarf height. Disease problems that arise
will be more frequent and difficult to overcome. High mortality rate and
the average quality of chicken as a whole may suffer.
3. KIDS CHOICE CHICKEN / DOC (DAY OLD CHICKEN).
Selection of broiler chickens are kept it is important to note, because it
determines the success in breeding. Day old chicks (DOC) has good
characteristics: hair dry and clean, not below the standard weight (at least ±
39 g / head), agile, does not have a disability and does not indicate the
presence of certain diseases such as ompalitis, snoring pullorum or which
can be seen from the white dirt attached to the rectum.
4. FEED
A good feed contains sufficient nutrients needed by the chicken (protein, fat,
ash, crude fiber, energy, vitamins and amino acids).
It can be seen from the standard needs of food substances on each eriode
maintenance that can be met by the feed. Is also not less important but
often forgotten is that the feed should not cause diarrhea, because diarrhea
can cause litter to be wet so that the concentration of ammonia in the cage
increases. In turn lead to disease and weight problems.
5. MEDICINES
The drugs must be prepared prior to running the broiler chickens, so if there
are symptoms of the disease can be quickly resolved and did not result in
losses. The drugs are prepared include antibiotics, vaccines and vitamins
needed to help maintain a healthy chicken, or chicken when treating disease.
The selection and use of drugs that are used should be appropriate to the case
at hand. Therefore, diagnosis should not be mistaken for the effectiveness
of therapeutic treatment that is run.
Mandatory for farmers to understand, is this drug only as a supporter, not the
main factor that causes the chicken to be healthy. Therefore, the main
factor to produce a chicken that is healthy and sanitary maintenance of proper
governance. The drugs are good and not expensive will benefit a lot if
pemeliharannya poor sanitation and management. Can even cause harm,
because the problem appears and the disease will often be difficult to
overcome, which eventually became a high production cost.
6. MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT
Above factors can function well if management or the management of maintenance
that is run properly. Good management will improve the efficiency of
production factors, thus reduce the burden of expenditure, which may ultimately
increase profits.
7. MARKETING
End of the maintenance period will lead to the broiler marketing, so the
marketing stage can not be separated from the success of a business. Will
be wasted if the good work done in less handling marketing broilernya neat and
organized as it can reduce the acquisition breeders.
Good marketing is the right time, take the shortest possible time and the price
is relatively high. But the price here of course follows the prevailing
market. Therefore, the factor of timing and duration of the appointment
process of the chicken coop very important.
Marketing is too late, though only a day or two, will increase production
costs, especially for feed. Being the transport of chickens from the coop
that will lead to protracted stress in chickens that ultimately will increase
the death rate, which is certainly a burden on farmers.
