Basic information
The genetic potential of the modern broiler is nothing less than extraordinary, maximizing that genetic potential during grow out is a worthy goal. It is vital to provide all the nutrients, water, fresh air and other inputs that will allow the bird to grow to its potential, but it is also important to think about pacing the bird to finish the race strong and efficiently
Some companies look at fast growth as the ultimate goal and put all their effort into maximizing average daily gain. We contend that striving for growth to maximize profitability, health and liveability is a better way to manage broilers. A careful and steady foot on the accelerator and occasionally on the brake provides a better strategy to win the race, management, lighting and nutrition are key mechanisms for controlling growth rates to optimize broiler health and welfare while achieving economic performance
For example, feeding broilers an extremely high energy diet to maximize growth throughout the bird’s life is known to make them more susceptible to ascites, sudden death syndrome, chick mortality and leg problems
Most poultry nutritionists think it is wiser to feed a little bit lower energy diet (balanced with all essential nutrients) to keep birds growing at a steady, comfortable and profitable rate. The same can be said for lighting programs. For many years it was commonly recommended that broilers be grown in almost continuous light to stimulate feed intake and maximize growth. Due to the rate at which broilers grow, most producers now provide their birds intermittent light. Lighting programs have been shown to improve health and efficiency of the modern broiler
How to maintain broiler cage
Maintaining broiler cages has been a major challenge faced by broiler farmers. Broiler cages are used in the chicken industry, but one thing to pay attention to when using is to prevent rust. However, environmental problems in chicken cages will directly affect the growth status and production efficiency of chickens. Therefore, the chicken cage factory recommends cleaning and disinfecting the chicken cage. Most of the broiler cages we use are made of metal. Because of its materials, it will inevitably rust If not properly maintained. It will be more corrosive. The chickens are raised indoors. So the chicken can contact the broiler cage at any time. If the chicken skin touches the rusty part, this is not necessarily a good thing. It is therefore important for all broiler farmers to take cognizance of how to maintain the battery cages

Product description
Battery cages are a housing system used for various animal production methods, but primarily for egg laying hens. The name arises from the arrangement of rows and columns of identical cages connected together, in a unit, as in an artillery battery. Although the term is usually applied to poultry farming, similar cage systems are used for other animals, battery cages have generated controversy between advocates for animal welfare and industrial producers. Original battery cages extended the technology used in battery brooders, which were cages with a wire mesh floor and integral heating elements for brooding chicks. The wire floor allowed the manure to pass through, removing it from the chicks’ environment and reducing the risk of manure-borne diseases. Early battery cages were often used for selecting hens based on performance, since it is easy to track how many eggs each hen is laying if only one hen is placed in a cage. Later, this was combined with artificial insemination, giving a technique where each egg’s parentage is known. This method is still used today
Procedures
1. Sort the broilers according to their body size and weight
The first thing you need to do is that you should sort your broilers that have similar body size or weight together, and keep them in the same growing pen. This will eliminate the factor of inequality. In addition, they will be able to feed well without being intimidated or cheated by the bigger or weightier broilers
2. Formulate and give them an excellent broiler feed
Another way to make your broilers grow bigger or have a higher weight is by producing and feeding them with an excellent feed
3. Avoid starving the broiler chicken
If you feed your chickens well, they will grow bigger and attract more market prices. Though, there are cases where broilers don’t grow well, irrespective of the quality and quantity of feed given to them. The major reason for this is related to the broilers’ genetic foundation. So ensure you purchase a good broiler breed from a reputable farm or hatchery if you want to raise broilers for commercial purposes
4. Procure quality broiler chicks from reputable sources
No matter what you do or give broilers that came from a poorly performing parent stock or hatchery, they may never do well in terms of adding more weight or grow bigger. Genes have a lot to do with animals’ growth and performing. This is the reason why you must procure your broiler chicks from a reputable hatchery with excellent records
