STRESSORS
Dust NH3/H2S Heat

Vaccination
Rough Handling Poor Sanitation Weighing Pecking Order

Mold & Mycotoxins Cold Poor Ventilation Parasites Loud Noises Bacteria Viruses Humidity Protozoa Beak Dirty Water Trimming

Crowding Feed Poor Litter Restriction Quality

Nutritional Deficiencies

SMALL SCALE POULTRY PRODUCTION

TWO MAJOR SECTORS

CONVENTIONAL PASTURE ORGANIC

SMALL SCALE POULTRY PRODUCTION

TWO MAJOR SECTORS

LIMITED BREED OPTIONS EXIST

CORNISH CROSS HYBRIDS COMMERCIAL BROILERS (MEAT-BIRDS)
FAST GROWING (5 POUNDS IN 6 WEEKS) VERY TENDER NO STRONG FLAVOR WHITE FEATHERS

HERITAGE BREEDS
CONSIDERED DUAL PURPOSE
SLOWER GROWTH SMALLER CARCASS SIZE STRONGER FLAVOR COLORED FEATHERS

WHAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES IN ORGANIC POULTRY PROCESSING ?

FINDING THE FACILITIES THAT WILL KILL AND PROCESS THE BIRDS

INFORMATION BASE QUESTION

WHY ARE THE FIRST 2-3 WEEKS OF LIFE SO VERY IMPORTANT FOR CHICKS ?

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO DETERMINE IF THE CHICKS ARE COMFORTABLE IN THE BROODER ?
THE CHICKS WILL TELL YOU IF THEY ARE COMFORTABLE

BROODING
THE CHICKS WILL TELL YOU IF THEY ARE COMFORTABLE

TODAYS MEAT-TYPE BIRDS GROW VERY RAPIDLY

MOST CRITICAL PERIOD

FEED INTAKE IS

ESSENTIAL

.FACT.
WHEN FEED INTAKE DECLINES GUT DEVELOPMENT DECLINES

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO DETERMINE IF THE CHICKS ARE EATING FEED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THEY ARE PLACED IN THE BROODING AREA ?

LETS TALK A LITTLE BIT

ABOUT

IMPORTANT NUTRITIONAL CONCEPT

IMPORTANT NUTRITIONAL CONCEPT

NUTRITION IS FIXED

NUTRITION IS NOT FIXED

NUTRITIONALLY SPEAKING WHAT ARE THE ONLY SIX THINGS CHICKENS NEED ?

SIX MAJOR NUTRIENTS

CARBOHYDRATE LIPID PROTEIN VITAMINS MINERALS WATER

VERY IMPORTANT CONCEPT OF NUTRITION TO REMEMBER

..ENERGY IS A NUTRIENT.. IT IS A PROPERTY OF THREE NUTRIENTS

NOT
LIPID

CARBOHYDRATE

PROTEIN

VERY IMPORTANT CONCEPT OF POULTRY NUTRITION TO REMEMBER

MOST POULTRY
EAT THE AMOUNT OF FEED THEY NEED IN ORDER TO MEET AN ENERGY REQUIREMENT

IMPORTANT FACT TO REMEMBER

TODAY
FEED COSTS REPRESENT APPROXIMATELY

75% OF THE TOTAL COST OF

PRODUCING MEAT AND EGGS

$ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $

CONVENTIONAL PRODUCTION
1) USE THE CORRECT FEED FOR EACH AGE & BIRD TYPE

STARTER

GROWER

FINISHER

LAYER

CONVENTIONAL PRODUCTION
2) IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO FEED CRACKED CORN OR SCRATCH FEED OR LIMESTONE OR OYSTERSHELLS
(REMEMBER: BLENDING WITH GRAINS DILUTES THE NUTRITION)

1) NUTRITIONAL REQUIREMENTS MUST BE MET BY FEEDING A COMPLETE DIET (BALANCED ENERGY & NUTRIENTS)

3) HOME-MIXED FEEDS MAY BE USED BUT INGREDIENTS MAY BE DIFFICULT AT TIMES TO ACQUIRE
4) DO NOT LIMIT FEED CONSUMPTION BY RESTRICTING FEED BECAUSE THIS WILL DECREASE PERFORMANCE

ORGANIC PRODUCTION
1) NUTRITIONAL REQUIREMENTS DO NOT CHANGE 2) THE FEED MUST BE ORGANIC (INCLUDES PASTURES) 3) FEED IS MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE 4) DRUGS, ANIMAL BY-PRODUCTS, ANTIBIOTICS AND GMO PRODUCTS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE FEED (NOP LIST) 5) SYNTHETIC VITAMINS AND MINERALS ARE ALLOWED BUT, SYNTHETIC AMINO ACIDS ARE NOT ALLOWED

ORGANIC PRODUCTION
6) FISHMEAL, ENZYMES AND OYSTER SHELL ARE ALLOWED 7) SYNTHETIC ANTIOXIDANTS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN DIETS 8) ALGAE, EARTHWORM AND INSECT MEALS ARE ALLOWED 9) PROBIOTICS ARE ALLOWED TO BE USED IN FEEDS 10) GRIT IS ALLOWED TO BE USED

QUESTION
HOW MUCH WATER WILL POULTRY DRINK

QUESTION HOW MUCH WATER WILL POULTRY DRINK

?
ANSWER

IT DEPENDS

BROILER AGE AND WATER CONSUMPTION

DAILY WATER CONSUMPTION

BROILERS
(UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS)

DAYS OF AGE X 6 ML
