word "broiler" is borrowed from the British.Is consonant with "the Broglie" is translated as "roasting on a spit."And what better than fried meat?Young.Well, to be precise - broilers with an average weight of 2 kg.Their meat is considered a dietary product.Furthermore, it is more tender and nutritious compared to the adult bird meat.
growing broiler chickens troublesome, but quickly recovered.Chicks with high viability, good meat body shape pretty quickly grow.The most popular high broiler chickens Plymouth rock (white) and Cornish (white), bred in the United States.
Cornish White - pure breed meat.In the year it gives up to 120 eggs.In the industrial production of white crosses white Plymouth Rock Cornish, which ultimately gives excellent offspring.When an amateur production can be limited only to white Plymouth.Within two months of broilers reach half a kilo, and some two.Incidentally, chicken egg rock would weigh less than a pound.Per kilogram of body weight gain consumes about 3.5 kg of feed (chicken egg sawmills requires twice).
broiler indoors.Beside them satisfied mesh fence (of netting) for walking and sunbathing.For a dozen chicks need two square meters.Young animals produced in dry and sunny weather.Free-range broiler chickens do not need: they will not grow.No need for them and perches.
room for the contents of selected dry and bright.Drafts are not allowed.Substrate (floor) is deep.I have it only upon arrival of another batch of broilers.It is best suited sawdust, shavings, sunflower husk, straw chaff.Unacceptable mold and odors.Summer sufficient thickness of 7 cm in the winter - 12 cm. When the upper layer is highly contaminated, it is removed and the same amount of fill up.
Chicken Broilers.Feeding. easy to guess that the power has grown critical.From the usefulness and quality of the food will depend not only on the growth and meat quality, but also the viability of chicks.It is best to use the feed, produced especially for broiler factories.They already balanced, all kinds of nutrients, vitamins, trace elements.However, broilers can be grown successfully and feed mixtures, prepared independently.
approximate composition kilogram mixture includes such components:
- corn bran - 400 grams;
- wheat bran - 200 grams;
- bran, barley - 150 g;
- oat bran - 100 grams;
- dispenser - 150 gr.
This composition would be nice to add 50 grams of flour or meat and bone fishing, or 100 grams of cottage cheese.Furthermore, each chick must obtain 1 g of baker's yeast per day.On the seventh day in the mash (wet) add chopped nettles, alfalfa, cabbage, grated carrots (to start at 5 grams per chicken, gradually increasing to 20).And to prevent rickets broilers should receive fish oil (in grams per day).
The diet must be present calcium: crushed egg shells or chalk (per kilogram of feed, 10 g).For good digestion of food needs fine gravel (it is put in separate feeders).Starting with week-old babies are fed three times a day with a damp (not wet, namely wet) mash with milk (removed).Dry ration should be constantly in the individual feeders.Be careful not turned sour uneaten food, and water troughs was constantly fresh water.The first two weeks broilers require a constant, non-stop coverage, then the duration of lighting (including natural daylight) is reduced to 17 hours.The intensity of lighting up to 20 days 4 watts per square meter after 20 days already 2 watts.
Under these rules broilers grow strong, healthy and gaining weight well.
