Five Common Issues During Brooding

Hakeem IBRAHIM Dear bro ubrahim Hope u r doing well.as far as brooding in whole house is concerned i think this one is not good and practical idea specially in winter season. As we have to maintain brooding temperature without too much fluctuation second thing in early ages we have to reduce birds mobility and for that almost 30/35 percent of house is good idea for brooding and then continuously increase brooding area on daily basis or on alternative day.we have to give our flock a good start without any stress factor.Simple is ,remember 1METER rule.so all birds should have access to feed and water within one meter.supplementary drinkers should be fill before artival of chicks so that temperature in the manual drinkers and nipple line should be at optimum temperature.bright light and increased feed exposure on papers can stimulate chicks to early feeding that can directly correlated with later chicks performance,stimulation of immune system,digestive system and other benefits. Further house temperature and specially litter temperature has its own importance to give good start without any chilling effect. Ventilation is also the important factor for good start as we offered all feed ,water space and rest all thing in good range but temperature is not optimum so all things are useless.birds will not intend to dink water or consume feed and u have to oay a lot later by facing health issues and to achieve targets. Hope these things will be useful for u Regards MINHAS
