Leave a comment

The nutrition value of poultry is best preserved through the proper and careful management of litter. Furthermore, it is also useful for preventing the surface and the surrounding areas from being contaminated. The importance of all types of litter management including chicken deep litter method, chicken coop deep litter method etc. is best understood in the farm house settings. So, if you plan to get the best out of your investment in poultry, then you should try to follow the standards as well as some modified strategies. There are a wide variety of maneuvers and measures when it comes to litter management. There are a number of disadvantages and damages that might be inflicted due to improper handling and poor storage techniques of the poultry litter. These effects include:

  • Loss of the nutrients value from the fertilizers
  • Spread of various diseases
  • Odor and other related issues
  • Contamination of the land and water
  • Deterioration in the health of the domesticated animals including chickens, ducks and others
Deep Litter Material

Deep material is indeed the most widely and successfully used housing system for the poultry based settings. It involves spreading dust and other sawdust materials on the floor for different purposes. The initial layers of deep litter system helps provide a bedding sheath or layer for the animals which are always exposed to the environmental changes. Furthermore, the farmers continue to add more and more layers while cleaning out the previous layers. These mechanisms helps in keeping intact, the health of the animals as well as more conducive farm house environment for the growth of the animals.

Tips for Deep Litter and keeping the litter un-wet

Deep litter method is based on allowing the coop and other forms of litter to grow with the passage of time. No matter you have backyard chickens, ducks or any other domesticated animals, the litter materials help provide a great amount of heat to the animals, especially in times of the winter season when the animals happen to be at great danger at the hands of the atmosphere. Here are some tips for the deep litter:

  • Adding substantial amounts of food grade at the top layer, so that the poop may dry out in no time.
  • Proper ventilation for the coop. The Importance of ventilation is really important for the respiration of the animals and for the materials to dry up. In order to estimate the levels of moisture you can pick up some litter and squeeze for seeing some change in the normal levels.
  • Try to make small ventilation holes inside the farm or the room in which the animals are being kept. It is crucial that the litter should remain dried and should be removed at set time intervals.
  • The chicken can also in keeping all the litter turned over. This maneuver is best done by adding some pieces of bread or any other material so that the chickens might also help in the litter management. For those of you who are new to farming, chickens also help in the processing of the litter and litter bedding by digging holes in the ground.
  • Furthermore, chicken poops also come in handy for making fertilizers and chicken manure. Also try to keep the water in a running position and not in the coop. But if you do want to keep it into the coop than try to make sure that the water isn’t spilled on the litter.
  • Try to make the maximum use of pie shavings and related materials for the litter management in poultry.

Disadvantages of Wet Litter

Wet litter has been proved to cause a number of harmful emissions and diseases in animals. In other words, the more wet the litter is, the higher are the chances for the spread of pathogenic bacteria. Furthermore, the overall broiler production is highly effectuated by the ammonia emissions which are given off as a result of the wet litter.(A part from this it also produces bad smell in chicken house) There are various farms all over the world that have suffered detrimental effects and losses caused by the ammonia emissions. Opposite to this, the litter should also not be kept as very dry, as it might lead to problems such as dehydration. In addition, wet litter might also increase the chances of breast blister.

OVERVIEW OF PAKISTAN POULTRY INDUSTRY

3 Comments

Poultry farming is now considered to be one of the most integral and dynamic component of the worldwide food production. The poultry culture is seemingly in the phase of rapid expansion. Even the Asian countries are in no exception to this. The broiler and chicken farms are all a part of this phenomenal expansion. The poultry farms in Pakistan have made a significant contribution towards the enhancement of food production strategies and measures. Poultry farming in Pakistan had started in the year 1963, when the country was in its initial phases of industrialization and agricultural growth. Pakistan poultry association was also formed in the nearby years with the intent of offering and introducing new and healthy farming practices through which the country would be able to meet it food related needs. It was in Karachi, that the first poultry hatchery had been formed marking a new era of poultry production in Pakistan. Since then a number of private poultry farms and industries have been launched in collaboration with foreign investors and companies. These days, the poultry sector seems to be concentrated around the urban and metropolitan centers of the country including Lahore, Karachi, Faisalabad, Mianwali, Bhawalpur and many more. Another important contributor towards the development of poultry in Pakistan are the various managerial and core systems.

Management Systems
  • Commercial poultry Farming
  • Rural Poultry Farming

Rural poultry farming

Pakistan is basically agriculture country,more than 67 % of its population live in rural areas and are dependent to agriculture means.Since beginning pakistan have been involved in backyard farming,which contributes major portion of total poultry production in pakistan.
the problems with rural poultry farming are
  • lack of labour skills
  • insufficient knowledge about poultry diseases
  • no fascility of training
  • far away from the market

 Commercial poultry sector

The commercial sector of the Pakistani Poultry is now on the stage of its economic boom with a growth of 20 to 25 % on an annual basis. In addition to the various incentives and compensations provided by the government, advanced farming practices and measures can also be credited for this phenomenal expansion which has been. The steps taken from the side of the government include

  • Income tax exemptions and compensations
  • Use of advanced and scientific instruments and measures
  • Funded research on farming
  • Duty free imports
  • Enhanced farming equipment

Various poultry breeds

Buff rock, Rhodes Island and Sussex are the breeds that are being hatched and brought up successful in the country keeping in view the desired traits and features. On an average, a laying bird is able to produce nearly 250 eggs yearly and has a weight of about 1.2 kg within 8 weeks of its birth. The total output of Pakistan in terms of eggs laid is about 6.5 million thousand eggs per year which is indeed is a clear indicator about the potential for growth and expansion which is evident in the specified amounts and reported statistics. Furthermore, there is still a lot of work that needs to be done including some advanced and modified approaches to expansion of poultry business in Pakistan.

4 Basic types of Poultry

Poultry is divided into a number of different categories and classes. In the olden days, there were a few kinds of poultry, but now with the advancements in technology a number of other classes have emerged ranging from squab to goose and many more. These types of poultry have their own role to play, especially when it comes to the large scale and commercial markets. All these classes can be brought under the 4 basic categories or types of poultry which include:

You may also like to check out types of chicken breeds:

1- Domestic Land fowl

This category consists of various domesticated birds each of which is used in various farm settings. The most common type is the chicken which is used at a number of commercial farms and at homesteads all around the world. The next in line is the turkey, which is used more often for the cuisine and other thanksgiving purposes. Most of the chickens and turkeys are used as a mode of nutrition, while the remaining fragments are used for other purposes.

2- Domestic Water fowl

As the name suggests, this category includes the waterborne birds. One of the most common is the duck which is found almost in all regions and areas of the world. Just like the turkeys, ducks are also used as cuisines and dishes. They are also mixed with a number of flavors and materials, especially when it comes to their use in the hotels and restaurants. Goose, which is also another type of water fowl, is also used for similar purposes. Furthermore, both of them are also being used for the making a number of commercial products and medicines. Not to forget the use of these domesticated animals as edibles.

3- Game Birds

Now here we have the birds which are undomesticated and are mostly used for the purpose of hunting and thrill. As the name suggests, they are mostly hunted down and then use in various foods. Wild turkey, wild duck, wild goose and the wild pheasant are the types of birds that fall under the category. The thing which differentiates them from all others birds in the list, is the intense flavor for which they are known. Some of these birds also happen to have a much bitter taste, which is primarily due to the wild life settings in which they grow.

4- Other Poultry

Doves and pigeons are the ones that do not fall into the other categories. They are also referred to as the squabs, primarily when they are used for the eating purposes. A number of other larger birds such as the ostrich and emu are also included in this type of poultry. The taste of the larger animals is in a number of ways closer to that of beef, which is one of the prime reasons for which the hunters love to track them down. In comparison to them, the pigeons have a smaller and short tailed body. The doves on the other hand have a thicker body and long beak. All these wild birds vary in their body type and their usage.

Upcoming Trends in World Poultry: Eggs and Layers 2012

Global egg production has expanded rapidly in the past few years. In comparison the 1970, the output has been estimated to have tripled. In the year 1970, the output was nearly 20 million tons, but for the year 2007, it rose to 60 million tons for the whole world. A number of analysts and experts from the International Egg Commission have stated that the new trends and some large production scales would be seen in the years that follow 2012. According to a number of surveys, there are nearly 4.93 billion egg laying hens in the world, out of which the most of them are found in Asia. Around 800-1000 million hens are found in China, 276 million in the United States, 380 million in Europe, 133 million in India and 115 million hens in Mexico. In the year 2012, more than 60 million tons are expected to be produced all over the world.

Egg Production

China is by far the largest importer and exporter when it comes to eggs and layers. Much of the production is consumed within the country. The US is on the second number in terms of the world’s largest egg producers. An important point to note here is the fact that there is a major difference in the consumer preferences in both of the countries which indeed comes to influence the capital generated from this production, as asserted by various economic analysis of the poultry markets and poultry egg business. The egg  production in the United States was around 7.55 billion till the September 2012 with nearly 338 million layers according to the various reports released by USDA. Furthermore, the demand and supply in the most of the leading egg production countries is also very high, with most of the production consumed inside the countries. Although China and USA have been better able to meet the challenges to the poultry sector, but India and some other developing countries have not been able to do so. In the start of summer 2012, the poultry production had dropped significantly, which caused an increase in the prices. Although the decrease in the weight of the eggs and layers is normal in summer, but the change seen in India was much more than the normal.  A rise in the prices of eggs has also been seen in China, USA, Japan and Mexico all because of the various diseases, changes in weather and the rising costs of all the various feed ingredients and nutriments. The inflation in the regions have been expected to remain around 2.5 % for the last quarter of 2012.

Top 5 Egg Producing and Trading Countries

  • China
  • USA
  • India
  • Japan
  • Mexico

In the year 2011, only 5  of  these 5 countries had provided the 55 % of the production, export and trade of eggs. In total, they had produced nearly 64 metric tons of eggs. The same can also be said for the year 2012. According to the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations, various projections show that the all the countries of the world are going to produce nearly 70.4 million metric tons of eggs in 2015 and 89.9 in the year 2030, out of which most of the contribution is going to come from the developing countries, probably Asian. These trends also reflect numerous investment opportunities in these countries. On an annual pace, India comes to produce 2.86 million metric tons of eggs. The analysts and poultry analysts also assert that the egg production is also going to increase in Brazil which also happens to be in the top 10 countries in poultry production.

Egg Production in Europe Falls

It is a fact that Europe has a lower population for egg laying hens, which indeed shows lower investment opportunities in the region. The production forecast is going to be lower by 1 % in comparison to the year 2011. In the region, the largest egg producers are Germany, Spain, France, Italy and UK. According to the Russian Prime Minister of the agricultural sector, the egg production is going to cross the 41.9 billion mark in the year 2012. Not to forget that the egg production in Russia has been increasing since the past few years. It is due to the fall of egg production in Europe, the countries are now forced to increase the imports of eggs in order to meet the increasing demands of the consumers.

Upcoming Trends in World Poultry

In the year 2012, the projected expansion of the worldwide meat production is 2 percent, thus taking the total figure to 302 million metric tons. Most of the production is going to come from Asia, especially from Russia, China, India, Turkey and Japan according to the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations. According to a number of poultry analysts and researchers, the worldwide markets for poultry are going to grow on an annual rate of 5 % in almost all of the countries. All the variations in terms of the capital growth are also going to see a major change in the amounts that are consumed on a yearly basis. An important thing to note here is the fact that the most development would be seen in the developing countries in comparison to the developed countries. One reason for thing being the environmental conditions in the developing countries and some of the developed Asian countries are well suited for poultry farming. Japan is also now increasing the use of various techniques and measures in order to increase the poultry output, all because till now it has been unable to properly meet its meat consumption needs. According to a number of different sources, the top 5 poultry producing countries are:

  • United States
  • China
  • Russia
  • Brazil
  • India

On a global rate, production of all the primary poultry products has been increasing on a rapid pace. This is the clear cut reflection of the increase in the meat demands and it also comes to reflect the consumption patterns and how they are changing in the year 2012 and for the upcoming years. The consumers now also demand the meat at a low price due to which all these countries are paying attention to increase the production and efficiency as stated by various reports published by the world poultry industries. The increase in the production of chicken meat in the world has been nearly 3.8 percent. All these statistics do not take into account the value that has been added into these poultry products, whether in terms of food processing or the formation of more sophisticated procedures for processing.

According to a number of surveys and economic analysis of the markets, the largest increases in terms of chicken meat production have been seen in Russia, India, China and Brazil. From the year 2000 to 2008, the output in terms of chicken production rose from 8 million to 8.9 million ton. From 2008 onwards, the growth has not been so agile, all because of the great depression and recession in almost all of the countries. The recession has also posed a number of challenges for the poultry sectors all over the world.  But now as the world is moving towards the stage of economic stability, new trends in the poultry meat production are likely to emerge more rapidly. In comparison to Europe, more than half of the chicken meat production came from Russia which is nearly 1.24 million tons. This indeed reflects some high and profitable investment opportunities in the countries, especially in Russia and India. The share of Europe in terms of the worldwide global meat production has fallen from 16 percent to 15.3 percent. Furthermore, the capital required for investment would also be less than the one required for starting a poultry meat business in the United States.

In order to provide a boost and all sorts of encouragement to the farmers and all other individuals involved in the sector, the governments have offered various compensations and subsidies for the purpose of increasing the export. This step is also going to play a vital role in order to meet the demand and supply of poultry meat inside and outside the countries.

Below is the table for chicken meat production in Europe in tons:

Russian Federation 2500
UK 1265
Spain 1070
France 940
Poland 900
Ukraine 850
Italy 790
Germany 750

All the above mentioned figures are till the year 2010. The president of the Russian federation, Vladimir Putin has also signed the Food Security Doctrine, in which he has stated that country is going to increase its food self-efficiency to 85 %.

For Asia, exports of Frozen/Chicken Meat in tons:

China, Hong Kong SAR 134,089
China, MACAO SAR 461,161
Turkey 114,166

The fall in:

In terms of the important market purchasing, Vietnam, China, Thailand and Turkey have been quite active. But the leading importer of the chicken and broiler meat in the region is Japan with nearly 900,000 tons imported in 2011.

Mass Issues and Uncertainties

Animal diseases and various outbreaks is also one of the major problems faced by the top 5 poultry meat producing countries, which may also come to  increase the cost of production. They are also going to effectuate the international and domestic markets pretty heavily. So, it now evident that the worldwide meat markets are really fragmented due to the limits sanitary conditions.

Poultry Equipments, Ventilation Equipments

Enviromently control poultry farm Ventilation Systems for Broiler, Layer, Breeders and Top Suppliers

Ventilation is something which is of extreme importance for the poultry houses. What you must understand is the fact that poultry system requirements change from time to time depending upon the changes in weather and all other conditions. Most of the systems involved in ventilation make use of a number of interlocked fans and heating mechanisms designed to keep the temperate at a constant level. Furthermore, the elements of animal age and density also come to effectuate these requirements. The ventilation process can be seen in a number of different forms depending upon the use of devices. Some of the systems are powered from the room, while others may be placed outside the farm house, with pipes taking the required air inside. The farm houses can also be ventilated in a longitudinal way through the use of special tunnel pipes, designed specifically for the purpose of a balanced air distribution.

Tunnel Ventilation

These systems make use of large belt driven fans designed for the purpose of being fitted into the falls. The air is taken in from the inlets and then distributed according to the requirement of the floor. In other words, the floor area is given due importance when it comes to the distribution of air for the animals. Another important thing about making use of these fans is the fact that they can be brought to some good use in summer as well as winter. The type of system to be used for the farm house depends primarily on the number of birds to be accommodated for the farm. For example, a 30000-45000-60000 bird capacity farm house would make use of a number of different ventilation systems.

Importance of Ventilation

The ventilation is of great importance for the health of the domesticated animals, especially when it comes to maintaining the environment of the farm house. The prime objective for which the farm house owners make such huge investments in the ventilation system is to ensure that all the animals are brought up in fresh air. Furthermore, the animals brought up in the poultry setting require a much greater amount of air than the rest of the animals. This is because they do not sweat at all times, so the only way for them to create a reduction in their body temperature is to via breathing. They use all the oxygen available to them quickly from the ventilation systems and also come to give off some large amounts of carbon dioxide. At times when you are just building the farm and see that there not enough ventilation for the animals, so it is imperative that you make use of the maximum number of windows and air inlets so that the birds may receive the maximum levels of oxygen. Here it must be also kept in mind that some large amounts of heat would also be released from the process of respiration, so you should make use of a number of cooling systems in the times of summer. Another important thing to consider is why it is necessary to have negative pressure in  the house? the answer is that to increase the velocity of air in the house by way of some variant combination of automatic exhaust fans  which turning on and off according to temperature requirement in the house. So, the importance of a perfect ventilation system for an environmentally controlled shed is more substantiated now.

Most of the alpha class farms in the world make use of special devices and mechanisms directed to the removal of various organisms that can come to cause a disease. The cooling evaporation systems being used make use various state of the art technologies and measures directed to a fast and efficient cooling mechanism which remains functioning for a long time to come. Always try to ensure that the temperature is maintained around 23 degree centigrade. Any slight deviations from this temperature can cause a great deal of problems in the animals. In other words, excessive temperatures can really come to cause a number of diseases in the animal’s .For this purpose we have thermometer in the house to monitor temperature.

The arrangement of the exhaust fans should also be done in a way that the same amount of air enters and leaves the farm house. In other words, the amount heat and carbon dioxide released should be taken out of the farm house through the use of some controlled mechanisms and systems. Now in using such a large number of devices and machines there comes another problem i.e. the chances of a short circuit are many. In order to avoid this problem, the best thing to do is to make use of automatic switch breaker .Another important thing to consider is to have backup facilities just like standby generator which works with automatic transfer switches to make sure of continuous power supply in the house.

It is now clear that making a farm house is not an easy thing and not everyone can afford to have a farm. The estimated cost price for having such a farm house with an advanced ventilation system may go in millions. The price can indeed vary depending on the type and quality of equipment which is to be used. In order to ensure that everything goes right, you must make use of the most ideal heating and ventilation systems.

Material needed:

  • Screws and its driver
  • Drill
  • Pond liner
  • Blankets (used)
  • Yorkshire board – it would help in setting the roof
  • A medium sack of gravel
  • Peat medium sack
  • Sharp sand

1: First of all you need to find a roof structure; make sure it’s strong enough to bear the weight of the plants.

2: Once the roof has been selected, must attach the pond liner around it; attach it in a way that it overlaps so that when it rains the water does not enter the roof. Join it with glue or staples firmly.

3: Now you should cut the roof into the size which blends well with the box (structure) of the coop. In order to provide a finishing touch to the box, cover it with the blanket. This would help the coop retain the necessary water.

4: Now take the gravel and nicely put it over the roof; make sure that the amount of sharp sand and gravel is equal while making the mixture. In this way the water will get drained easily without harming the chickens inside. Your backyard chicken coop is ready.

5: Lastly, plant it up with plants of your choice. Well, whatever plants you intend to grow and place there, make sure you look after them regularly. Don’t let them get dry or fall because it would then not only destroy the look of the coop, but also the main aim of keeping it cooler would get disturbed.

History and Origin 

Quails are migratory game birds with mottled brown feathers and short tails, which are native to Europe, Asia and Africa. The origin of this bird dates back to the 11th century while it is also referred to, in the old testament of the bible. Egyptians caught Quails from their farmland for the purpose of meat while in china these birds were kept as pets and as “singing birds”. In the late 11th century quail was brought to Japan where it was first domesticated. Since the farming and breeding of quail is credited to the Japanese it’s called a Japanese quail or a Coturnix Quail.

Quail farming and benefits of raising quails  

Quails are much easier to raise and breed than poultry. Along with the several benefits of the high protein meat they have to offer, these birds make excellent pets as they are skittish birds and with a little training they will let you coddle them and will be feeding out of your hand. For raising Quails one does not need special training or expertise. All you need is a well ventilated 8ft by 8ft room or pole building and an incubator and you can start raising them. An incubator can be created at home as well as bought online at a reasonable price. The most ideal feed for baby Quails is poultry starter feed like game bird starter and since these baby quails are so small, the feed can only be given to them in a crumbly state. As a beginner one may start with young coturnix quails which are ideal as they mature in 6 weeks and start laying eggs in 7 – 8 weeks. Most experts suggest the ratio of 1 male to 3 female quails for breeding as that produces the most fertilized eggs. To protect quails from predators like snakes it is ideal to use a wire mesh around their cages. Farming quails in your own backyard can provide you with free garden manure. Scoop up the quail droppings and let them age so they break down and then use them to fertilize your garden. These birds are diverse in their colors and it is often a brilliant pastime just to watch them in the summer. Raising them is very cheap because they can live in small spaces and do not smell as bad as chickens do; hence quail farming becomes even more feasible as it can be done outdoors as well as indoors. Unlike the roosters and their deadly morning crow, quails aren’t loud so the noise pollution is at a minimum. They are also hardy birds that can withstand the cold winter as long as their cage is protected from drafts and harsh winds. Quails lay eggs seasonally so they do not lay eggs in winter but they lay approx 300 eggs in one year; eggs which are 5 times healthier than chicken eggs. Quail chicks mature at around 6 weeks and a little longer for buttons.
