After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. Analyse the different types, breeds and strains of domestic poultry.

Introduction

The poultry raising could be attributed to the fact that poultry species are fast
multipliers, they are quick growers and are considered to be relatively more efficient

CHARACTERISITICS OF DESIRABLE AND UNDESIRABLE STRAINS

Learning Objectives:

After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:


1. Determine the characteristics of desirable and undesirable strains

Introduction
Strain is a group of birds within a variety that has been bred according to their
classification of its utility like produced for meat type, egg type, ornamental
type etc. for commonly use in commercial purposes. It is important to know
the characteristics of desirable and undesirable strain to prevent money, effort
and plan loss.

Clutch length
The number of consecutive days a hen lays an egg
before taking a break.
Hens have a natural break that takes place in between
egg laying periods.
The ability to lay a large number of eggs is a highly
desirable trait.

Shell Quality
A strong shell is necessary for the egg to be
transported from the farm to the store.
Shells are made from calcium, so a birds ability to
absorb calcium and convert it into egg shell is a
highly desirable trait

Sexual Maturity
The ability of a female chicken to reproduce, or
produce eggs.
With very early maturity, birds will produce eggs
sooner in life, increasing a farmers profitability.

Size
Size of eggs -- consumers wants mostly large eggs. If hens are producing
medium or jumbo eggs, the return for producers will not be as high.
Size of the hen -- a large hen eats too much and a hen that is too small
cannot produce large enough eggs.

Temperament

Need birds with a good temperament, (birds that are not


aggressive) because otherwise they will injure other birds
around them by pecking them.

Broilers

No deformities
Uniform size and color
Active and free from diseases
Purchase from reputable source
No unhealed navels

Breeding Stock
Sexually mature poultry of both sexes raised specifically to produce
offspring.
Each bird has genes made up of DNA that give the bird certain
characteristics.
The color of the birds feathers, growth rate, and sex of the bird are all
genetically controlled characteristics.
Breeding stock have genes that give them desirable characteristics.

Broiler Breeders
Selected to produce offspring that will have high growth rates and
large breasts.
Layer Breeders
Selected to produce offspring that will have large clutch size, reach
sexual maturity early, and have good shell quality.

SELECTION AND CULLING

Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. Identify and classify the selection and culling of poultry.

Introduction

Selection is the first step to do before culling will make. This is a very important

aspect of poultry farming because an un-culled stock may give a serious setback to

the farmer. Culling is a continuous operation throughout the year. Culling is

advantageous because it helps in saving the feed, in preventing the spread of

diseases and in bringing uniformity of the stock.

Purposes of Culling
Intelligent culling of the poultry flock is of the utmost importance for success in
poultry keeping. Culling serves three purposes:
1. It increases the profits by ensuring that the feed will be consumed by the better-
producing hens, the profit payers, and will not be consumed by the poor
producers which are kept at a loss.
2. It makes it possible to save those best suited for breeders, both on account of
their better production and on account of their superior strength and vitality,
which have enabled them to stand up under the severe strain of heavy laying.
3. Weeding out the poor hen gives those left more room and a better chance.
Where trap nesting is practiced, culling is a comparatively simple process, as the
recorded egg record enables one to determine whether a hen should be retained
or discarded.
4. Separate the non-productive birds and develop them with special care to them to
attain good productivity.

TIME TO CULL

Date Developed: Document No. NTTA-TM1-07


Trainers July 2010 Issued by:
Methodology Level I Date Revised:
February 2012 Page 60 of 61
Developed by: NTTA
Templates NTTA
Revision # 01
Culling should begin at the time eggs are selected for incubation; weak, malformed,
and undesirable chicks should be culled when transferring from the incubator to the
brooder; chicks that are of low vitality should be culled as soon as discovered during
the developing period; and pullets that are a few months later in starting to lay than
the average of the flock should be culled. Individual cull hens should be removed at
any season of the year they are definitely detected.

FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED IN CULLING

1. Value of vigor and health


Vigor is the very foundation of a successful poultry business. An active
disposition, bright, clear eye, and well-worn toenails indicate health. Small,
weak, deformed, inactive hens with long beaks and heads lack vigor and
should be culled. Hens with baggy abdomens have broken down and become
very fat ; when they stop laying they seldom start again and the death rate is
very high. Hens that are large and coarse with small sunken eyes are big
eaters, poor layers, and rightly belong to the "beef" class.

2. Value of yellow pigment in culling


In yellow-skinned breeds the same yellow pigment that colors the yolk
of the egg colors the vent, eye ring, beak, skin, and shanks. As the hen starts
laying this yellow pigment begins to disintegrate and disappear. The different
parts of the body fade out white in proportion to the amount of pigment stored
in those parts, the kinds of feed fed, the weight of the body, the size of egg
laid, and the length of the production period. After production begins the skin
around the vent is the first to whiten, then the eyelids, the earlobes, the beak,
and last the shanks. When a hen stops laying the color returns in the same
order that it leaves, only very much more rapidly. The loss of yellow color in
the shanks indicates a long laying period, which varies from three to six
months, depending on the breed, the rate of production, size of egg, and kind
of feed. The presence or absence of yellow pigment in the vent, eyelids,
earlobes, and beak denotes a shorter laying or resting period, varying from a
few days to four or five weeks. Sick hens and hens in a dry yard, fed little or
no yellow corn and green feed, will have faded beaks and shanks even
though not laying.

3. Value of molt in culling


A hen usually starts molting at any time of the year she stops laying.
Poor inherent breeding or poor management may cause her to stop laying.
The later a hen lays in the summer the greater has been her annual
production and the later she will molt. Hens of poor breeding stop laying early
and start to molt ; contrary to old-time opinion, these hens do not make the fall

Trainers July 2010 Issued by:
Methodology Level I Date Revised:

Templates NTTA
Revision # 01
and winter layers. Hens of general-purpose or meat breeds frequently lay and
molt at the same time. High-producing hens usually molt more rapidly than
low producers. The best layers have dry, ragged, frayed, and brittle feathers,
and the tail feathers are badly worn during summer and fall months. The
number of new or old feathers in the wing primaries is a safer guide in
determining the molt of hens that can be found in other parts of the body. It
takes about six weeks to renew the primary feather next to the axial feather
and an additional two weeks for each subsequent primary feather. If more
than one growing primary feathers are the same length they should be
credited only with the growing time of one feather.
Loose feathering is usually a characteristic of the coarse, late-maturing,
and low-producing hens. Loose feathering is often a characteristic of birds
reared in confinement and of hens kept in laying cages. Any factor of
mismanagement that checks egg production in summer will force the molt,
and such conditions must be given due consideration by the person culling
the flock.

4. Value of body changes in culling


The laying hen has a large, moist, dilated vent as contrasted with a
round, dry, puckered vent in the case of a hen not laying. In order to lay well a
hen must be able to consume and digest a large amount of feed. The
reproductive and digestive organs require a large amount of room. When a
hen starts laying the entire abdomen becomes dilated; the pelvic bones,
between which the egg must pass, become wide spread ; the keel is forced
down, and the lateral processes are sprung outward. When a hen stops laying
the measurements are materially reduced. Poultry men measure a hen's
capacity by the perpendicular distance between the pelvic bones and the
posterior end of the keel. This measurement, whether two fingers or six
fingers, is influenced by the size of the bird, length of keel, size of eggs laid,
and whether the hen is laying or not laying at the time of examination.
With high production the fat goes out of the skin and the hen has a soft,
velvety skin and very soft and pliable abdomen. Thick, blunt, crooked pelvic
bones and deposits of hard fat in the abdomen indicate either low production
or a long period of time since profitable production.
The back should be broad and flat, and its width should be carried well
back to the tail. A back that is narrow, curved, cushioned on top, tapering
toward the rear or sloping down, indicates very poor capacity.

5. Value of head and adjuncts in culling


Fineness of the head is an indication of a good laying hen. The face is
clean cut; the eye round, bold, prominent, and set in an oval socket; and the
wattles and earlobes fit close to the head. The comb is fine in texture, soft,

Revision # 01
and pliable; serrations are broad at the base and follow, usually, the general
curvature of the head. The beak is short and well curved.
Unprofitable hens usually have long, narrow serrations on the comb,
shrunken, hard to the touch, and covered with whitish scales. The eye is
usually sunken, not prominent when viewed from the front, and has a dull,
listless expression. The long beak and narrow, crow like head are never found
on a high record hen.

6. Value of temperament and activity in culling


A high-producing hen is more active and more nervous than a poor
layer, yet more easily caught and handled. The high producer is friendly, while
the poor layer is sly; stays on the roost or outer edge of the flock, and
squawks when caught. The first hens off the roost in the morning and the last
to go to roost at night are the best layers.

PRECAUTIONS TO OBSERVE IN CULLING

Culling is an intelligent comparison between hens of the same flock that have had
equal opportunity to lay so far as housing, feeding, and management are concerned.
No set rule or rules will apply to all flocks because culling is a matter of intelligent
judgment based on uniform management of the flock.
It is not safe to judge a hen solely by any one of the indications previously
discussed. Such procedure will result in untold errors. Only when all indications are
applied to each hen can intelligent judgment be passed.
Unless hens have been kept under conditions favorable to egg production no
one can do accurate culling work. Parasitic infection, improper feed or irregular
feeding methods, poor housing conditions, crowding, and forcing for egg production
at some season of the year will cause many otherwise good hens to be classed as
culls. There are culls that are so because of poor inherent ability to produce, and
there are hens easily mistaken for such because of the poor care they have
received.
In culling for egg production, give the questionable hen the benefit of the
doubt.
The age of the hens to be culled should be given careful consideration.
Culling February-hatched pullets that have been in production twelve to fourteen
months presents a slightly different problem from culling April-hatched pullets that
have been in production ten to eleven months, or fall-hatched pullets that have been
in production only five months prior to the August culling.
Hens that have been forced into molting, or kept under all night lights during
the fall and winter, do not conform as uniformly to the culling principles described
herein as do hens that have received normal treatment.
Fowls to be culled should be caught with the least amount of fright and
disturbance. The best method is to use a catching crate. The crate may be placed

outside the laying house on a level with the exit door. The fowls are driven into the
crate, the exit door closed, and each fowl removed through the door in the top of the
crate. The crate may be used more conveniently inside the laying house where the
hens are penned under the droppings board by the use of panels and forced through
the catching crate

Procedure:
1. After peak production, identify and separate the non-layer and broody birds.
2. Arrange a separate pen for the segregated birds and provide the same floor
space, feed type, drinker space as per the laying birds.
3. Close the nest box doors in the non-layer pen.
4. Less feed gram is given to the non-laying and broody birds.
5. Maintain the males ration based on the production.

1. Perform the confidence in selection of poultry-chicken and poultry
management

Introduction
Confidence in selection of poultry are substantial to become a successful business
grower but when without of proper management and untrust to selves, theres no
doubt to fail the business. The Chicken broiler and egg production are the most
progressive animal enterprises in the Philippines today. The growth of the poultry
industry in the Philippines has indeed been impressive but its problems including
inefficient management and the prevalence of many destructive poultry diseases and
parasites cannot be ignored. This manual provides management know-how for
poultry raising which we hope present poultry raisers and prospective poultry
producers may find useful in effectively managing their poultry farms and also help
them realize substantial financial returns from their enterprises in this period of high
production cost inputs.

CHICKEN BREEDS/STOCKS TO RAISE

The following can be used as a guide in selecting the foundation stock to raise:
Stock should only be purchased from a reliable hatchery or franchised dealer
where the parent stocks are well-housed and well-managed.
The kind of stock to buy depends upon the purpose for which it is going to be
raised.
Chicks should be free from diseases and deformities.
Chicks should have uniform size and color and in the case of broiler chicks should
not be less than 33 grams a day-old.
From a start, a popular strain raised in the community can be selected as it is an
indication of the birds good performance under existing farm conditions.
For broilers, choose those that have high livability and are fast growers.
For layers, choose those that have good egg size, high egg production and long
productive life

Brooding is essential for the chicks. Brooding is the process of supplying artificial
heat to the chicks from the time they are taken out from the incubators up to the time
their bodies can control their heat requirements and they are covered with feathers.
The following are the basic requirements for brooding day-old chicks
1. Sufficient Heat
Provide sufficient artificial heat to keep chicks comfortably warm during
the day or night. Avoid abrupt changes in brooder temperature during
the first-two weeks of life.
2. Adequate Light and Ventilation
A well-lighted brooder attracts and encourages the chicks to start
feeding
Provide sufficient ventilation to supply plenty of oxygen and facilitate
the removal of carbon dioxide and excess moisture. When there is not
enough ventilation, the chicks will not only be weak and in poor
condition will also be more predisposed to respiratory diseases.
3. Ample space to avoid overcrowding
Provide the brooder with enough space to avoid overcrowding which
leads to poorly developed chicks, high mortality as well as harmful
vices like toe picking, feather picking or cannibalism.
4. Healthy stocks
Select only healthy chicks, which can be easily recognized by their dry,
fluffy feathers, bright eyes and alert active appearance. Avoid chicks
with wet vents and dull eyes.
5. Correct Feeding
Provide the chicks with good quality feeds either home grown or
commercially sourced.
Feed the chicks intermittently rather than continuously. Research
studies have shown that when using intermittent feeding chicks utilize
nutrients better.
Do not allow feed troughs to go empty longer than one to two hours.

6. Proper Sanitation

Trainers July 2010 Issued by:
Methodology Level I Date Revised:

Revision # 01
Cleanliness and dryness of the brooding quarters will prevent
contamination of the chicks from parasites and diseases which
may be carried by previous brooded chicks.
7. Regularity of Care and Management
Environmental should be kept as uniform as possible. Sudden
changes in surroundings cause a certain degree of stress or
insecurity such examples are removal of brooder canopy and
slamming doors of brooder houses or the presence of drafts. It
is advisable that a regular caretaker feed the chickens following a
definite schedule during the first 3 weeks of the chicks life.
9. Environment Control
Optimum house temperature for laying birds is between 18C-
29C. Within this range, maintain a uniform house temperature
when possible. Flock health and performance are highly
dependent on temperature control and good ventilation. Fans may
aid in keeping the birds more comfortable during hot summer
months. In environmentally-controlled houses be sure to provide
for adequate air movement especially during hot weather.
Evaporative cooling may be used to lower the house temperature.
Make sure that feeds and fresh water are always available.
Vitamins, Minerals and antibiotic supplements may be added to
the drinking water during the first few days. Consult your feed
dealer.
Always check the clicks at night before going to sleep.
After 7 to 10 days the brooder floor mats can be removed.
More feeders and waterer should be made available as the chicks
grow.
Vaccination against avian pest is a good measure to prevent the
outbreak of the disease.
All weak, deformed and sickly chicks should be culled right away
and properly disposed of.
The immediate burning or burying of dead birds is an important
part of a good sanitation program. Use an incinerator if dealing
with large numbers or bury them in the ground right away. Do not
expose to flies or rats.

Broilers are marketed when they reach 28 - 40 days of age
depending on the strain.
For the egg type, chicks are transferred to the growing houses or
pens at 6-8 weeks old. They are kept in these quarters until they
are 16-18 weeks old at which time then they are transferred to the
laying house.
Birds are given anti-stress drugs, either in the feed or in drinking
water 2-5 days before and after they are transferred to the growing
houses.
Thoroughly clean and disinfect the growing houses prior to the
transfer of the growing stock. Transfer birds only during good
weather.
During hot summer days, the appetite of the birds diminishes but
this may be sufficiently restored by wet mash feeding or by taking
appropriate measures to lower house temperature like spraying,
misting or sprinkling the roof with water.
Provide clean fresh drinking water at all times.

MANAGEMENT OF THE LAYER FLOCK


Pullets are transferred to the laying house at the age of 16-18
weeks or at least 3 weeks before the onset of egg production.
A few days before and after the transfer, the birds ration should be
fortified with antibiotics and vitamins to minimize or counteract the
effects of stress.
Cull those birds that show little or no promise of becoming
potential layers.
Birds will start laying when they are 20-22 weeks old. Generally,
pullets reach maximum egg production when they are between 30-
36 weeks old, after which egg production tends to decline and
then levels off.
After the first year of laying, the layers undergo a physiological
process called molting. Early molters are poor layers while late
molters are good ones.
During the second year of production, the layers usually average
about 10 to 20 percent fewer eggs as compared to the first year
but the eggs are bigger.
