Vent pecking in Broilers

Sir I hope the formulation of feed imbalance of protin& salt ,.

Sir i am not the right person to advise on hatchery sanitation.
Regards.

Vent picking may due more light intensity during brooding period.

Hi to all:
For vent pecking control in broiler or layer have to note :
1- Enough NA in feed , it cannot be sufficient only by adding salt to feed, must use another source to supply the NA like sodium bicarbonate.if you want to use salt only the amont of CL will be very highier than bird reguirement and disrupts the DEB .
2- Amino acids not only must supply the requirment of bird but also must be in balance in relation to LYSINE .
3- LIGHT intensity be as recommended by breeder company .
4- Crowding means feed and water space to eating and drinking .if this spaces is not enough there will be stress and and the bird copmete
each other and start to pecking and the other bird learn pecking .
5- Right distribution of mash feed : if not selective feeding will occure some eat coarse one and some fine ones and deficiency of nutrient will occur and there after pecking will start and in continue it be a behavior in house .

i continue to maintain what I said before
vent pecking most of the time is one of voices (bad habit) of the birds
it should taken care as told before

regards

Chicck house temperature, stocking density and crud protein %

All causes which our college said is right beside we must notice any cause of stress due to bad management such as heat or temperature -noise

First: you check the stocking density of the bird in your poultry house.
Second: You check the salt content of your poultry feed.

IPPM Thank you so much that.s right 100%

Dear sir,
I agree with all colleagues but I may add a few more observations like pasty vent attract birds for pecking. Non uniformity in weight. In rare cases, intestinal worms are few reasons.

I absorbed first vent pecking in my layer birds (golden layers) at the age of 24 weeks and will share my further experience in coming days.
