This article was share with me by a colleague when I was preparing for my MSC and I found it interesting. It is not my original work. The author did a great job that we all can learn from.

Farmers should have obtained a copy of this presentation. The Diversification Division of the Ministry concerned can use a summary of the facts for the farmers especially in the African countries. The First Week Mortality in the broilers and layers are usually VERY HIGH. Hygiene is not maintained properly in small farms. Omphalitis is frequent. Farmers tend to use antibiotics during the first week of age.

Dear Wijaya,
Thank you very much for the reply.
1. It is a stress for the chicks when they have been debeaked at the hatchery.
2. When the farmer receives the chicks, he has to give ELECTROLYTE, one of the best product is KEPROLYTE + VITAMINS in drinking water for the first two days. Some farmers give GLUCOSE + VITAMINS.
3. Perform a CROP SCORE in the evening of DAY ONE to check the feed intake in the chicks
