BREED SELECTION IN POULTRY FARMING: DON’T COPY, CHOOSE WISELY

One of the biggest mistakes farmers make is buying chicks because “others are buying them.”

Success in poultry starts with strategy, not excitement.

Before selecting a breed, define your goal clearly:

👉 Are you targeting hotels?
👉 Local market consumers?
👉 Egg supply to shops?
👉 Festive season meat sales?

Your market determines your breed.

1) If Your Market Wants White Meat Fast

Choose Broilers

Ready in 5–7 weeks

High feed intake

Strict management required

Profitable if you have guaranteed buyers

Best for serious, fast-cycle business.

2) If Your Market Prefers Organic/Traditional Taste

Choose Improved Kienyeji or Sasso

Slower growth

Stronger immunity

Higher selling price per bird

Less stress compared to broilers

Best for rural and estate markets.

3) If You Want Long-Term Egg Income

Choose Layers (Isa Brown, Lohmann, etc.)

Start laying at about 18–20 weeks

Consistent daily production

Requires good feeding and lighting program

Best for stable monthly income.

Important Reminders

Cheap chicks can be expensive later. Always buy from trusted hatcheries.

Match your feeding program to the breed.

Don’t mix different production goals in one house.

Calculate feed cost before buying birds.

The right breed reduces stress.
The right breed increases profits.
The wrong breed drains your pocket.

In poultry farming, breed selection is not just a decision — it’s your business foundation.

FEEDING OF BROILER CHICKEN.

Feeding the broiler chickens with very good quality and nutritious food is the most important part of raising them. In commercial or large scale production, they are generally feed commercially prepared balanced food based on their age and growth stage. The chicks are given starter feed from their day 1 to 4weeks of age. This type of starter feed are very high in protein (around 22-24 percent) to support initial growth.

And when they reach 5 weeks of age, they are generally fed finisher feed. Finisher feed contain around 18-20 percent protein.

Common ingredients used in broiler chicken feed are corn, soybean meal, minerals, vitamins, and sometimes additives. These ingredients help to promote good health and growth. Although, exact formulation of the feed can vary based on specific needs of the birds. Feeding the commercially prepared food is a good option.

Generally, no exact feeding schedule is followed for feeding the broiler chickens. Rather they are typically fed free-choice. That means, they have constant access to feed to ensure they eat as much as they need to grow quickly. And always ensure availability of enough clean and fresh water as per their demand. Avoid providing them contaminated food and polluted water.

LIGHTING FOR BROILER CHICKEN.

Adequate lighting play a very important role in the growth and health of broiler chicken. Provide light continuously in their early stage (first week or so). Doing this is very important to promote feeding and also to help the chicks to adapt to their new environment.

You can reduce lighting period after their initial period and make a combination of light and dark periods. 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness per day will be very good for their good health and growth. You can use fluorescent or LED lights for lighting purpose.

HOUSING FOR BROILER CHICKEN.

Ensuring a very good housing system with the availability of all required facilities is very important for raising broiler chickens. Long, enclosed buildings with controlled environments are the most widely used housing system in commercial broiler production. Ensure good ventilation system inside their house. And use temperature control system by using heating systems and cooling systems. Make the house comfortable for the birds by using common bedding materials such as straw, rice hulls or wood shavings.

Providing the broiler chickens enough housing space is also very important. In modern commercial chicken farming system, the recommended space is generally around 1 to 1.5 square feet space per bird. Clean their house on a regular basis and maintain good hygiene.

Have you ever heard or seen a farming system called AQUAPONICS?

Today, we will be learning a thing or two about AQUAPONICS.

Aquaponics is a combination of aquaculture (the growing of fish and other aquatic animals) and hydroponics (the growing of plants without soil) in one recirculating environment.

In aquaponics, the plants are grown in the grow bed while the fish are placed in the fish tank.

The water from the fish tank that contains fish waste (rich in nutrients) is been fed to the plants, where naturally occurring beneficial bacteria break the ammonia down into nitrates.

The Plants then absorb these nitrates and other nutrients to help them grow.

vegetables, small root vegetables, fruiting plants, herbs, and flowers. grow best in aquaponics systems

The interesting things about AQUAPONICS is the fact that;

- There is no soil involved in aquaponic systems, the demanding task of weeding is taken care of.

- The produce harvested from aquaponic systems is organic and free from chemicals.

- It also produces multiple sources of incomes from fish and plant production.

Egg production
Hens lay about six eggs per week, but their productivity declines each year as they molt and daylight hours shorten.
Factors that affect egg production
Many factors can affect egg production, including:

Light: Hens need at least 12 to 14 hours of daylight per day to continue laying eggs.
Calcium: Hens need about 4 grams of calcium per eggshell, with 2 grams coming from their diet. A lack of calcium can cause hens to produce soft or brittle eggshells.

Feed: A well-balanced feed with the right amount of protein and amino acids, as well as essential vitamins and minerals, can help increase egg production.

Nest boxes: Hens should have cozy nest boxes with soft bedding on the darker side of the hen house.

Breed
Some breeds that are good for egg production include White Leghorn hybrids, Plymouth Barred Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, Blue Andalusians, and Ameraucanas/Easter Eggers.

BLOODY P**P COCCIDIOSIS

Coccidiosis is one of the most severe health problems of poultry.

Birds of all ages are at risk but growing birds between 3 to 5 weeks seem to be most vulnerable.

The disease is spread from one animal to another by contact with infected faeces or ingestion of infected tissue.

Detecting Coccidiosis

Blood stained droppings is a primary indication of the presence of coccidiosis.

Other symptoms include unwillingness to eat, severe weight loss, paleness, ruffled feathers, depression, huddling, and watery or bloody diarrhea.

Physically, the birds may look like that one in the attached picture.

Preventing Coccidiosis

Before any disease can emerge, three conditions must be met. First, there must be an infectious pathogen, then a favourable environment for it to thrive and then a host (your chicken).

The pathogen causing Coccidiosis grows, reproduces and survives in damp and warm litter.

Once you let your poultry litter stay wet and sticky, you automatically create the environment for coccidia to sprout, grow and become infective.

Your birds pick up these sprouted coccidia oocytes as they peck on the floor and become infected

Birds that are infected also pass out thousands of coccidia eggs in their p**p. Other birds can pick these eggs and also become infected

The way to prevent coccidiosis from occurring is to keep your floor dry and clean.

Clean up water spillage immediately

Make sure the drinkers are not leaking and that birds cannot p**p in their feeders and drinkers.

Ensure to change your litter as often as necessary.

Drugs For Treating Coccidiosis Are:

Embazin forte, Adacox, Diclosol, Kepcox, Amprolium, Coccinor, Centre-Dicox. The list is endless.

Organic Treatment/Prevention Of Coccidiosis

Bitter leaf is used in its liquid form to prevent and treat coccidiosis. This is how to prepare it.

i. Gather some bitter leaves. The quantity depends on the volume of juice you are hoping to get and the number of chickens you want to treat.

ii. Remove the leaves from the stem and rinse them in a bowl to remove sand and dirt.

iii. Put the leaves in a mortar or kitchen blender and add just a little water. Just enough water to pound or blend the leaves easily. What you need is a juice that is as thick as 5 Alive, so don’t add too much water at this stage.

iv. Use a cheese cloth to sieve the juice into a container.

If you have followed the process carefully, the bitter leaf extract should be as thick as 5 Alive juice.

Dosage:
Prevention: 20ml per liter of drinking water three mornings in a week

Treatment: 30-40ml per liter of drinking water for treatment. Give them for 5 consecutive days
