FEEDING PROGRAM FOR BROILERS/ROASTERSChicks should be fed on a free-choice basis and should have fresh feed at all times. After 5 weeks of age, double the feeder space and water capacity.

NOTE: Broilers are usually processed at about 2 kg (4.4 lbs) while roasters can be processed at 3.5 kg (8 lbs). Pullets are usually smaller and lighter than cockerels of the same age.

FEEDING PROGRAM FOR TURKEYSProvide one tube feeder for every 10-12 turkeys. If trough feeders are used, 20 cm (8 in.) are required per bird. Turkey poults must have easy access to feed during the fi rst week of life. Try using egg cartons, since they make excellent feeders for starting turkeys. Clean fresh water should be available for the birds on a free-choice basis at all times. At 6 weeks of age, increase the fl oor space up to 0.5 sq. m (5 sq. ft.) per bird and double the feeder space and water capacity.

NOTE: Turkeys will achieve a weight of about 5 kg (11 lbs) at about 14 weeks but toms can be grown to more than 13 kg (29 lbs) in 25 weeks. Hens are generally smaller at the same age.

FEEDING PROGRAM FOR EGG LAYING BIRDSBirds should be fed on a free-choice basis feed at all times and fresh, room temperature water should always be available. After 20 weeks, feeding and watering space should be increased to one tube feeder for every 10-15 hens or 10 cm (4 in) feeder space per hen. There should be one nest for every 5-7 hens. Supplemental light should be provided. Ensure that the hens receive 14-17 hours of continuous light per day to stay in egg production. If the lights are turned on at 6 am, most hens will lay their eggs by 11 am. Supplemental heat should be provided when the temperature is less than 15oC (60oF) to maintain egg production.

INTRODUCTIONThis flyer has been designed to provide helpful information for starting and caring for chicks, pullets and poults, and arrival of chicks. First and foremost to consider is that new chicks are “babies” and need all the “tender loving care” you can give. Avoid unnecessary handling or frightening of new chicks. Make sure they have all the room, light and heat they need. Try to keep them and their environment clean and free of parasites and diseases. Your Purina dealer can provide everything you need for successfully raising poultry.

STARTING AND CARING FOR CHICKS, PULLETS AND POULTSPREPARATION: 24 to 48 hours before receiving chicks, clean, disLayer of fresh litter. A thermometer should be hung 5 cm above floor level to check temperature. Warm the brooding area to 32 oC in advance of placing the chicks.

LAYOUTAn ideal layout should include enough feeders and waterers for all the chicks. One tube feeder for every 25 birds or, if trough feeders are used, 5 cm per bird. Allow 2 cm of watering space per chick for trough waterers or one 5 litre cone-type waterer for up to 100 chicks. Provide approximatively 0.25 m2 per 10 chicks or poults on arrival. Begin to increase pen size after about one week and chick guard can be removed in about 7-10 days.

Brooder stove hood or heat lamps (1 lamp/50 chicks), located approximately 50 cm above the chicks, should provide necessary heat for the chicks.

PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING:

HEAT DISTRIBUTION GUIDE

CORRECT TOO HOT TOO COLD DRAFTY

Even distribution of chicks means comfortable conditions.

Chicks move away from heat and are drowsy.

Chicks chirp and pile up under the hood.

Chicks chirp and wedge behind the hood.

ARRIVAL OF CHICKSMake sure feeders are full. Always feed on a “free choice” basis. Water should always be available on a “free choice” basis. Keep water founts clean. An even temperature is very important for the new chicks. The following charts indicate ideal brooder temperature and heat distribution for chicks.

Daily check:

Distribution of birds in pens;

Temperature and humidity, ventilation, feed and water, lighting, bedding, health status and minor changes in behavior;

Maintain the temperature of the brooder’s gauging device.
