Success In The Rearing Period Leads To The Success In The Laying House And It Starts From Chick Arrival.
Any Delay In Growth At 4-5 Weeks Will Be Reflected In A Reduction In Bodyweight At 16 Weeks And Then In Performance, Particularly In Mean Egg Wt. In Temperate Climates Or A Delay In Start Of Lay, Peak & Post Peak Persistency In Hot Climates.

Monitoring crop fill in recently placed chicks gives one of the best indications of the efficacy of the chick start. At 24 hours after placement at least 95% of chicks should have a crop the size of roughly a 10mm hemisphere, with contents the consistency of pea soup. If the crop is empty or only contains water or only feed there is a serious problem.

Feed Management
The Speed With Which Feed Is Eaten Depends On When It Is Fed And On The Form In Which It Is Offered.
Birds
Feed Management
Naturally Eat More In The Morning And Evening. For That Reason The Feeders Ought To Be Empty In The Middle Of The Day. To Encourage Rapid Consumption, Distribute Feed About 3 Hrs Before Lights Out. The Actual Time Of Feed Issued Should Be such That About 50% Of The Feed Is Eaten The Following Morning. At "Lights On", Because The Digestive System Is Empty, The Birds Will Eat Up The Finer Particles Better. This Feeding Routine Can Be Started Between 4 And 8 Wks. Weekly Bird Weighing Is Essential, So That The Appropriate Quantity Of Feed To Issue Can Be Calculated. The Gizzard Development Could Be Encouraged By A Good Feed Presentation And The Use Of Insoluble Grit.

Targets In Rearing:
To Produce A Uniform Flock And A Weight, Which Is Compatible With The Intended Age At Sexual Maturity. To Obtain The Correct Bodyweight At 4 Weeks To Secure Frame Development. To Achieve Steady Growth Between 4 And 16 Weeks With A Good Development Of The Digestive Tract.
BV-300
BV-300
B. Sampling Technique:
In Floor Rearing, A Sample With A Minimum Of 5% Of The Flock Or 100 Birds Gives A Good Estimate Of Mean Bodyweight And Uniformity. In Cage Rearing, Weigh All The Birds From 5 Or 6 Cages Chosen At Random In Different Parts Of The Poultry House To Make Up A Sample. As For As Possible Weigh Same Cage Birds Every Time.
BV-300
Body Weight Management In All Cases Underweight Birds Should Be Corrected Or Culled By Eight Weeks Of Age. In Cages, The Lightest Birds Be Sorted Out Frequently From Six Weeks And Be Put In The Top Row And Checks Are Made That There Is The Same Number Of Birds In Each Cage.
BV-300
Reasons For Poor Uniformity Over Crowding (The Feeder Space & Position). Poor Nutrition The Quality Of Beak Trimming. The Vaccination Stress. Disease & Parasitism (Cocci & IBD).
BV-300
Beak Trimming
Prevent Feather Pulling & Cannibalism. Reduce Feed Wastage. Beak Trimming Early In The Birds At 7-10 Days Of Age Causes The Least Amount Of Stress. The Chick Is Growing At A Relatively Low Rate During The First Two Weeks And Recovers Quickly. Second Beak Trimming At Around 12 Week. Beak Trimming At Transfer (A Touch Up Of Any Birds Which Require It).

BEAK TRIMMING
Attention Points:
Before Beak Trimming: Do Not Beak Trim Birds If The Flock Is Not In Good Health Or If It Is Suffering From Vaccine Reactions. Add Vitamin K In Drinking Water 48 Hours Prior To Trimming & After To Prevent Haemorrhages. Check The Equipment & Make Sure That The Trimming Blade Has The Right Temperature To Cauterize But Not So High To Form A Blister On The Beak Later. During Beak Trimming: Operator Should Be Seated Comfortably In Such A Way As Each Beak Will Be Cut In The Same Manner. Do Not Rush The Process: A Too High Rate (Number Of Birds/Minute) Could Lead To A Higher Chance Of Errors & Poor Uniformity. Clean Blades With Sandpaper After Use Of 5.000 Chicks, & Renew Them After 20.000 To 30.000 chicks. Make Sure The Tongue Of The Bird Does Not Get Burned

BEAK TRIMMING
Attention Points:
After Beak Trimming: Increase The Water Level In The Drinkers And The Pressure In The Pipes To Make It Easy For The Birds To Drink. Make Sure That The Depth Of The Feed Is Adequate, Do Not Empty The Feeders For A Week Following Beak Trimming.
Beak Trimming
Beak trimming is a very delicate operation and it is important enough to be done right. Failure to beak trim properly can damage bird livability and uniformity and consequently affect negatively to overall flock performances.

Lighting Programm
In Addition To The Influence Of Growth, The Light Programme Plays A Determinant Role For 3 Essential Reasons: Progressive Growth Of The Digestive System. Gradual Adaptation To A Body Clock ( Above All , Anticipation Of A Dark Period ). Lack Of Night Time Energy Supply When Dark Periods are Too Long. Lighting
The Observation Of The Feeding Behaviour With The Water Consumption Shows A First Peak Of Food Intake In The 2 To 3 Hours That Precede A Dark Period, And A Second Peak Shortly After Lights Come On. The Crop Is Used During These Peaks Of Consumption As A Storage Organ.

Light Stimulation:
The Variation Of Light Duration Greatly Influences Sexual Maturity. Under Certain Conditions, We Can Observe A Response To A Light Stimulation From 6 Weeks Old. (More Sensitive Period Is Between 10 And 12 Weeks Old). Light Stimulation Will Change Bird Weight At Sexual Maturity And Adult Weight, As A Consequence The Egg Weight, Which Is Directly Related To The Bodyweight Of The Bird At First Egg.
