Pullet Cotton and Broiler Chickens

After 3 weeks of age, child rearing chickens into the cage. We make this enlargement cage with half insulate the main rearing cage. Half of this main cage again we partition into 4 parts. Each room width and length of 2.75 meters in 2:40 it can contain approximately 75-100 chickens ready for harvest. Each room is filled with chicken age. The chickens are hatched in the same week. Segregation by age is to reduce cannibalism that can occur on a smaller chicken.
In each cage rearing room, we put 1 place 2 places food and drink hanging pendant. On one side or both sides of the cage, we put paralon or bamboo which we split into 2 which we use as an additional place to feed. Thus, the chickens are not scrambling to get food and the growth they will not be disturbed.
Feed given to broiler chickens, a little different with our laying chicken. This difference occurs because we are changing the composition of their feed. In this broiler, so we reduce the amount of feed and increase the amount of corn and dedeknya. The comparison we made was 25% (feed so), 5% fish meal, 30% corn and 40% Dedek. This comparison, besides containing adequate protein for growth, which has Dedek ratio of not more has a great share to participate to gain weight rapidly. Therefore, our broilers to be harvested within 3 months of age, with an average weight of about 1.2 kg.
To improve the health and endurance of chicken, at least once a week provided additional Amylit in drinking water. Amylit contains an excellent amino acid to increase endurance chickens from disease and also accelerate the growth of chickens. Amylit provided far more in broilers to pursue the needs of amino acids that are less because of differences in feed composition with the layer pullet.
Similar to other cages, cleaning cages helped chicken health. The cage should be sprayed with Desogerm or Virkons to kill bacteria or viruses. Usually we do it regularly every 2 months.
Regarding the problem of lighting, this broiler chickens get different treatment. Lighting in broilers, we use a fairly bright light at night. Lights that we use is 20 watts fluorescent light for 2 rooms. We lit the lamp all night. The purpose of this lighting is that the chicken will continue to eat and the end result is weight gain faster. Gonadal maturation in broilers are not taken into account.
Sales of broilers, depending on market demand. Mostly, they wanted the chicken sold in approximately 8-9 ounces of weight, they call it the size of the restaurant. Normally we sell these broiler chicken for Rp. 12.500 to 13.000 per head. But if we sell the chicken traders in the market, this broiler chicken we sell with a weight above 1 kg.
