Λ Everything You Need to Know About Raising Broiler Chickens Michael J. Darre, Ph.D., P.A.S. Extension Poultry Specialist Dept. of Animal Science University of Connecticut michael.darre@uconn.edu Selecting the bird:  Type of poultry: meat type – Cornish Cross , or other breed  Purchase disease free stock (from NPIP source,Pullorum and AI free)  Plan for all-in - all-out flocks Before the birds arrive:  Draft free coop or housing, cleaned and disinfected  Brooder stove or heat lamp (red bulb type, if needed) set to 95oF for first week.  Dry litter, (pine shavings preferred), 3-4 inches on clean floor.  Roosts (use clean tree branches) 2-6” above ground for broilers  Feeders and Waterers, cleaned and disinfected  Fresh Feed, appropriate for age and type of bird SMALL POULTRY FLOCK OWNER CHECKLIST When the birds arrive:  Check for symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, watery eyes, labored breathing, diarrhea, or pasty butt. Check for external parasites  Provide water for first couple of hours, then add feed. (if birds have been shipped overnight, then make a 5% sugar water solution for first day)  Check waters, feeders, heat source, eliminate drafts, etc.  Wild bird and rodent proof coop, set bait stations, traps, etc., as needed.  Biosecurity - foot dips, clean shoes or boots, limit visitors and traffic, set up a quarantine area. General Management:  Check birds daily for signs of disease.  If disease is suspected get a reliable diagnosis and treat as necessary.  Cull very sick or injured birds, use proper disposal (burn or bury deep)  Establish a regular de-worming program  Keep litter clean and dry, replace wet litter. Do thorough clean out every six months including disinfection.  Proper disposal of manure such as composting. Choosing Meat Breeds Unlike with layers, there are limited options… – Cornish X – Other hybrid varieties (Reds, Barred, Silvers.etc) – Dual purpose varieties (Buffs, Barred Rocks) Freedom ranger J.M. Hatchery 178 Lowry Road, New Holland, PA 17557 (717)336-4878 Colored Feathered Birds – becoming more popular Here is what Troy Griepentrog wrote about the Freedom ranger: I spent about $229.11 buying the chicks and feed. I fed about 530 pounds of commercial feed plus about 90 pounds of whole oats. The following numbers aren’t precise, but should be pretty close: 620 pounds of feed produced 195 pounds of live birds (3.17 pounds of feed per pound of gain — about the expected ratio). 130 pounds of meat (about $1.76 per pound) The Label Rouge (France) birds grow to 2.25 kg in 12 weeks, while the fast-growing broilers (Cornish cross) reach the same weight in 6 weeks. The carcass is generally more elongated and has a smaller breast and larger legs than conventional carcasses. In addition, slower-growing breeds are more suitable to outdoor production than fast-growing broilers.

Pig industry sustains livelihoods of many families in Kenya. Pig rearing has been one of wellestablishedindustry in Kenya following growing export markets and increasing number of health conscious consumers. Pig production if efficiently managed has great potentials for increasing protein supply in Kenya. Smallholder pig farms in Tharaka-Nithi County have been facing varying and dismal profits. The main objective of this study will be to establish which institutional arrangements and management factors affect the profit efficiency of small-holder pig farmers in Tharaka-Nithi County. A multi-stage purposive sampling technique will be adopted to collect cross sectional data of eighty (80) smallholder pig farmers in Maara Constituency by the use of semi-structured interview schedules. The work will employ Data Envelopment Analysis to come up with profit efficiency rankings among the farmers and stochastic frontier profit function will be used to analyze the factors that affect profit efficiency. The data will be processed using STATA and DEA Frontier packages. The findings could be useful to the stakeholders of the pig industry sub sector to formulate policies pertaining to pig enterprise inputs, marketing issues and financial products and also can establish benchmarks which can be used as a package for enhancing and stabilizing profit efficiencies of smallholder pig farmers which in turn could help improve the Kenya economy. An Overview of Livestock Sub-sector in Kenya Perspectives, Opportunities and Innovations for Market Access for Market Access for Pastoral Producers Recent statistics point that the livestock sub-sector in Kenya accounts for approximately 10% of the National Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This is 30% of the agricultural GDP. It employs about 50% of the national agricultural workforce and about 90% of the ASAL workforce. 95% of ASAL household income comes from this sub-sector. This is despite the fact that the sector receives only 1 % of the total annual budget allocation. The livestock resource base is estimated at 60 million units comprising of 29 million indigenous and exotic chicken, 10 million beef cattle, 3 million dairy and dairy crosses, 9 million goats, 7 million sheep, 0.8 mi camels, 0.52 mi donkeys and 0.3 million pigs. (Strategy for Revitalizing Agriculture (SRA) 2003) Kenya is broadly self-sufficient in most livestock products but is a net importer of red meat mostly inform of on-the-hoof animals trekked across the porous boundaries of neighbouring countries- Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan, Uganda and Tanzania. Livestock supply in Kenya results from a complex set of interactions between Kenya and its neighbours and the traditional Middle East market and their respective livestock populations, demand and market prices. Kenya is part of a regional market where livestock flow according to markets and price differentials in a liberalized system throughout the region as a whole and where Nairobi represents a focus of demand for the region Supply of red-meat from domestic cattle, shoats and camels falls short of demand, and is almost permanently augmented by a traditional livestock trade drawn in from neighbouring countries, especially Somalia, Tanzania, Sudan and Ethiopia in varying quantities according to demand, which maintains a supply/demand [1.6MB]SIJAAMINI WEMA SEPETU ANACHOKIFAYA HAPO KWENYE HII VIDEO BOFYA UONE
