Slow weight gain in Broilers is a very serious issue for a Broiler farmer. A Broiler farm survives only on a simple logic of earlier the weight gain and lowest the mortality.
Following points help to get the desired results in Broiler Farming.
1.Chicks from a good breed should be selected.
2.A good brooding defines the growth pattern for a Broiler . If in winter accurate brooder temperature is not maintained, the bird may get some infection and the bird will loose weight rather than gaining it.
3. Feeding a good quality Feed is the next step in this direction. Broilers need a highly concentrated Feed to get timely Wt. gain.
4. Temperature controll during peak summer is essential. Otherwise reversion in weight followed by heat stroke mortality is there.
5. Liver protection and controll on mycotoxins is very essential otherwise FCR ( Feed conversion ratio ) will be very low.
6. Due to fast weight gain and heavy weight, Weak leg strength is very common so calcium Supplementation is very essential.
7.If the bird catches some infection due to some reason, firstly the infection should be checked with suitable antibiotic followed by Supplementation of multi vitamins , Liver tonic and Trace Minerals.
8. GPF Poultry Feed Supplements ( www.gpfindia.in) has developed a growth promoter for the Broilers which contains balanced herbal amino acids and vitamins for early Wt. Gain.
9. Lighting plays a very important role in Broiler gaining weight. If a one hour black out is followed by every two hour bright light alternatively at night, the bird takes up Feed during the bright period and digest it during the dark. It will considerably improve the FCR.
