Dear Doc,
I appreciate your innovative ideas in the area of chicks brooding!!! If you can supplement this article with best designs of shed then it will be workable & easy to understand the concept. Please if you have such designs paste on this site.Apart from your views in this area i want to add some more techniques of chick brooding,
First thing to keep in mind that Indian Poultry industry is growing with 10-12 [percent]annually. Looking after all modernization era & change in life style we have to adopt such a manage mental techniques where requirement of manpower should be less.As industry has a bright future in the world & peoples are shifting from Red meat to poultry meat,our poultry projects should be Hi tech so that we can compete in all quality parameters in the Globe.
Looking after those changes one time better & hi tech investment is necessary while constructing the poultry sheds & we have to wrap the traditional methods to come in flow.
1. To resolve the problem of electricity at farm level you have to adapt the techniques like Solar energy or wind power so that your project will be not dependent on others for electricity.
2. Construction of shed should be in such a way that you will resolve your all manage mental problems from that viz. Uniformity in brooding temperature , litter condition, feeding systems etc.
Till the time of change definitely your innovative idea of brooding will always be welcome & will definitely helpful to our indian poultry industry
