    October 1, 2025 at 5:26 am in reply to: optimal hatching

    To achieve optimal hatching rates, I maintain setter temperature at 37.5°C and hatcher at 37.2°C, with relative humidity of 55–60% in the setter and 65–70% in the hatcher. Eggs are turned 3–5 times per day, handled carefully, and positioned correctly. The hatchery is well-ventilated, clean, and biosecure, and candling is performed at day 7 and 14 to remove infertile eggs. Newly hatched chicks are handled gently, kept warm, and moved to brooders promptly to ensure their health and survival.

    October 1, 2025 at 5:21 am in reply to: feeding schedule

    I implement a feeding schedule based on age and production stage. For broilers, I provide starter, grower, and finisher feed ad libitum, ensuring fresh feed is always available. For layers, I provide starter, grower, and layer feed according to age, with ad libitum access and additional calcium for eggs. Breeders are fed 3–4 times a day with controlled rations for optimal fertility. Fresh water is always available, and feed intake is monitored daily to maintain uniformity and performance.

    October 1, 2025 at 5:19 am in reply to: darkling beetle

    To eliminate darkling beetles, I first focus on prevention by maintaining clean, dry litter and sealing cracks where beetles hide. I practice strict biosecurity and remove feed spills and old litter. I treat the shed and litter with approved insecticides or diatomaceous earth, and monitor beetle activity regularly using traps. In some cases, biological control with beneficial nematodes can also be applied. This integrated approach keeps the beetle population under control and protects the flock.

    October 1, 2025 at 5:17 am in reply to: nutritional requirements

    I formulate poultry diets by first determining the birds’ age, type, and production goals, then calculating energy, protein, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals required. I select suitable ingredients like maize for energy and soybean meal for protein, add necessary mineral and vitamin premixes, and include feed additives such as probiotics or enzymes. I adjust the diet for different growth stages, monitor bird performance regularly, and use feed formulation tools to optimize nutrition and cost efficiency.”

    October 1, 2025 at 5:14 am in reply to: humidity and temperature

    I monitor incubator temperature using thermometers and digital probes placed at egg level, keeping it around 37.5°C in the setter and 37.2°C in the hatcher. Humidity is maintained at 55–60% in the setter and 65–70% in the hatcher using water trays and by adjusting airflow. I regularly check and log both parameters, make gradual adjustments when needed, and observe candling results and chick development to ensure optimal hatchability and chick quality.

    October 1, 2025 at 5:12 am in reply to: housing

    For my poultry farm, I would construct a closed, controlled-environment house for broilers to maintain optimal temperature, ventilation, and humidity. For layers, I would use cage systems or deep litter depending on scale and market requirements. All houses will be designed with good drainage, easy cleaning, proper lighting, and biosecurity measures to ensure bird health, productivity, and longevity.”

    In addition to the initial submission.

    Good litter management creates avenue for purer internal air conditioners.

    This also help in the overall health of the entire flock and surrounding environments

    October 1, 2025 at 5:10 am in reply to: ventilation and temperature

    I ensure proper ventilation and temperature control by maintaining the recommended brooding temperature for chicks and gradually adjusting it as they grow. I use proper ventilation systems — natural or mechanical — to provide fresh air and remove excess heat, moisture, and ammonia. I monitor temperature, humidity, and air quality continuously, observe bird behavior for signs of stress, and adjust environmental controls like fans, heaters, or sprinklers to maintain optimal conditions.

    October 1, 2025 at 5:07 am in reply to: clean, fresh water

    I ensure access to clean, fresh water by using a safe water source like a deep tube well or treated water, providing proper delivery systems such as nipple drinkers, and cleaning tanks and pipelines regularly. I monitor water quality daily for smell, color, and microbial contamination, maintain suitable temperature, and ensure birds have 24/7 access. I also use additives like electrolytes or probiotics when needed to support health and growth

    The breed I choose depends on the purpose of my operation. If I focus on broiler meat production, I would choose a fast-growing commercial strain such as Cobb 500 or Ross 308 because they have excellent growth rate, FCR, and uniformity. If I focus on table eggs, I would choose a layer strain like Hy-Line Brown or Lohmann Brown for their high egg production and shell quality. And for breeding purposes, I would select Cobb or Ross parent stock to produce high-quality commercial chicks.
