Chickens Livestock Systems (Part 2)


Fence
 
The fence is needed to keep the chickens are in one area. Live fences can provide shade, feed for chickens and humans, space for vines, windbreaks, and many other benefits. The fence must be high enough to prevent chicken blurred out.
 
Comrade
 
Chickens live in groups or families. Too little or too much chicken in a small space is not good. If they live freely, they will naturally regulate the size of the group. If you keep chickens in a cage, you have to specify the size of the group.
The ideal number is 1 roosters per 10-15 females. When the chicks have started to look where the male and which are female, males who are not in use can be separated to be consumed.
Shearing Wings
To prevent chickens flying and blurred out the fence is to cut the tip of one wing feathers. Feather cut is long hair that is in the outer portion of one of its wings.This will affect the balance of chicken and prevented him from flying. Repeat these cuts every 6 months.
 
Health
 
Chicken is generally an independent animal, rarely sick, and care for herself. To prevent a sick chicken, keep the cage in order to stay dry and clean it regularly. Separate the sick chickens until they are cured to prevent the spread of disease.
Dry Land
  
Chickens will dig holes in the dry lands and would squander the soil into the wings to ward off ticks that attach to the body. This is important for health
 
chicken. If the chickens are in the wild, they will look for dry land by itself. If they are in a yard, you must provide dry land, especially in the rainy season. Add the pieces of neem leaves into the holes. Neem leaves will become a natural pesticide that will help reduce body lice on chicken, but it is safe for chickens.
For the problem of intestinal worms in chickens, there are two examples of natural medicine that is by giving papaya seeds or leaves of mulberry. Chickens like to eat it, especially seeds from papaya. Give regularly to help prevent worm problems. Chickens also like to eat chili and onions, which will help them fight some types of specific diseases. Egg shell or shells that have been destroyed and the sand is also good given the chicken. Chickens are naturally akanmemakannya together with other feed. This will help the digestion of chicken and will help produce eggs with a strong leather.
 
Vaccination
 
One of the diseases that killed many chickens in many countries is Newcastle disease??'s Disease (ND). This disease spreads quickly and easily and occurs every year, usually at the end of the dry season. The only effective control is by vaccination. Vaccinations should be given when the chicken is still small, and should be given to all the chickens in each group.
 
Chicken Products For Labor
  
Chicken can help control pests and weeds. There are many ways to use chicken to work for you, among others:

Chicken can serve as a tractor when placed in a cage without a mat that is easy dipindahpindahkan. The cage is usually given 60-20 chickens, depending on the size of the cage, eg 2 mx 1 m for 6 chickens. This will employ chickens to scavenge and cultivate the soil before planting, pests and insects out of the ground, and spent gulma.Kandang chicken and moveable chicken tractor is also good to keep the hen and her children. Make of lightweight materials, like bamboo, so you can easily moveable.
 
integration Chicken with Vegetables
 
Divide the garden into sections, for example, each section measuring 5 mx 5 m. We recommend that each part is made high enough fence around it, or other means to prevent the chicken run.
 
Place the chicken in one part of the garden while the other garden planted with vegetables. Every after harvest, giringlah chickens were to come in and eat the rest of the stalks, weeds, and insects. In addition, the chicken will continue to provide fertilizer at each garden section they occupy. Enter the chickens back into the cage at night.
 
Pigs can also be integrated in this system, by inserting between 1-4 pigs in a recently harvested land, only then put the chicken. Pigs will provide fertilizer, removing weeds, and unload the ground. Chickens will help improve the working group. 1-2month for each animal is a pretty good time.
Integration of Chicken with Fruit Trees
  
Placing about 50 chickens to land area 50 mx 50 m will be able to help clear weeds and trees surrounding land memupuki. This system should be used for trees aged over 1 year. Make a circle of stones around each tree, 1-2 m from the base of the tree and still give a lot of compost and mulch in the circle. The chickens will be pawing the ground, but the stones will keep the compost and mulch stays close to the tree. Plant the tree legumes as live fences and between trees of fruit.You can trim legume it and give it to chickens as feed, as well as providing nitrogen for fruit trees.
