TECHNICAL GUIDELINES FOR LAYER CHICKEN FARMING


Before farming began, one farmer must understand the 3 (three) elements of production, namely: management, breeding and feeding.
Preparation Facility and Equipment
1. Cage Enclosure climate suitable for raising laying hens include requirements for temperature ranges from 32.2 to 35 degrees C, humidity ranged between 60-70%, lighting and heating cage or in accordance with existing rules, the layout of the cage in order to get the morning sun and not against the direction of strong winds and good air circulation, do not make a cage with a hilly land surface due to impede air circulation and endanger the flow of surface water when it rains, the cage should be built with open systems for wind gusts to provide enough freshness in the cage.
For cage construction with materials that do not need expensive, which is an important powerful, clean and durable. Furthermore barn equipment should be provided as completely as possible like the food, drinking places, where water, where rations, where drugs and lighting equipment systems.
Cage forms based on the system is divided into two: a) the colony cage systems, one for a lot of chicken cages consisting of thousands of chickens laying; b) A system of individual cages, cage is better known as the cage. The hallmark of this fold is the influence of individuals in the cage has become dominant because of a box enclosure for a single chicken. The cage system is widely used in commercial laying chicken farms.
Type of cage under the floor is divided into three kinds: 1) cage with floor-liter, this cage is made with bran-covered floor, pesak / rice husk and the cage is usually applied in the colony cage systems; 2) cage with perforated pit floor, floor for this system consists of aids or wood rafters with such holes, which later to dispose of chicken feces and directly to the shelter; 3) cage with floor-liter mixed with pit holes, with a floor area ratio of 40% of the cage to the base and 60-liter % area under the floor with holes (consisting of 30% in right and 30% on the left).
2. Equipment - Litter (floor mat) Alas floor / litter should be in a dry state, then there is no leaking roof and rain water that entered although no strong winds. Height of 10 cm thick litter, litter materials used mixture of bran / husk with a little taste of lime and sand, or wood shavings hasi with a length between 3-5 cm to substitute bran / husk. - Place spawn The provision of nesting places for easy take an egg and egg shell is not dirty, it can be made box measures 30 x 35 x 45 cm is enough for 4-5 chickens. Box cages with dididing placed higher than the perch, egg placement for easy retrieval from the outside so that the egg is not broken and trampled and eaten. Basic nesting place of the wire is made oblique to the egg directly into the nest after laying out and made greater lubah from large eggs at the base of the nest. - Place perch Perches to place of rest / sleep, created by the wall and this will be dirt falls to the floor that is easy to clean from the outside. Created closed to avoid the wind and the location is less than the spawn. -Places to eat, drink and place of grit Places to eat and drink should be available sufficient, the material of bamboo, aluminum or anything that does not leak too strong and does not rust.
