BROODER Y'ENKOKO, OGIKOLA OTYA? ,BIKI EBYETAGISA? (HOW TO MAKE A BROODING HOUSE)

THE BROODER
Before the arrival of chicks is the preparation of the brooding house.
Clean and disinfect the brooding house and all equipment with a good disinfectant at least one week before the arrival of chicks. I recommend Naro cleanse as a disinfectant simply because,
• It’s not toxic to poultry and the farmer.
• It does the work effectively.
• It has a residual effect of 1 week.
• Its cost is also friendly.
Disinfection should be done at least two times.
Choose litter material that helps in temperature regulation of the poultry house and is easy to manage. Litter should not be dusty. Rice husks or coffee husks can do the work.
A good litter thickness of at least 1 inch should be spread on the brooder floor as a cushion for chicks.
The brooding house size can be reduced to floor spacing of 25 chicks per square meter for layers and 20 chicks per square meter for broilers to prevent overcrowding and the requirement of more heating equipment.
For the first week, it is good practice to put feeds on spread papers (cement bangs or newspaper) to help chicks easily find feeds. These should be changed as soon as they are messed with droppings.
Material for this purposed should not be polythene. They should easily absorb the droppings.
Six hours before the arrival of chicks on the farm, the artificial heat source should be turned on to preheat the brooder house.
Ensure the brooder is corner-free to avoid piling of chicks in corners which can lead to suffocation and death.
A drinker per 5O chicks should be provided for easy access. The drinker size should match the chicks size and drinkers should be put at a level to avoid chicks drowning in water.
Chicks should only be given water with an anti-stress agent or glucose for the first two hours then feeds thereafter.
Ensure to feed the chicks as recommended, and always provide them with clean sufficient water, and do not forget the vaccination days.
Proper management of chicks in the first four weeks is the most important part of poultry farming. Your success shall all depend on this so try to put in your best and do it well.
