A high level of genetic potential is
necessary to attain high level of
performance. However, high
performance levels cannot be
guaranteed just because a product
has genetic potential.

The Period From One Day Old To The Point Of First Egg

(The Physiological Capability Of The Hen Is Developed.)
Any Delay In Growth At 4-5 Weeks Will Be Reflected In A
Reduction In Bodyweight At 16 Weeks And Then In

►To Encourage Rapid Consumption,
●Distribute Feed About 3 Hrs Before “Lights –Out”.
●The Actual Time Of Feed Issued Should Be such That About
50% Of The Feed Is Eaten The Following Morning.
●At "Lights On", Because The Digestive System Is Empty,
The Birds Will Eat Up The Finer Particles Better. This

A. Method Of Weighting:
●The Time Of Weighing Should Be Fixed, Preferably In The

●Carrying Out Individual Weighing. A Practical Method Is To
Use Weighing Sheets, Which Allow To Put The Weights
Straight Into A Histogram. This Shows At Glance The Weight
Distribution Within The Population.
B. Sampling Technique:
In Floor Rearing,A Sample With A Minimum Of 5% Of The
Flock Or 100 Birds Gives A Good Estimate Of Mean
Bodyweight And Uniformity.
In Cage Rearing,Weigh All The Birds From 5 Or 6 Cages
Chosen At Random In Different Parts Of The Poultry House To
Make Up A Sample. As For As Possible Weigh Same Cage

Beak Trimming
Attention Points:
Before Beak Trimming:
●DoNotBeakTrimBirdsIfTheFlockIsNotInGood
HealthOrIfItIsSufferingFromVaccineReactions.
●Add Vitamin K In Drinking Water 48 Hours Prior To
Trimming & After To Prevent Haemorrhages.
●Check The Equipment & Make Sure That The
Trimming Blade Has The Right Temperature To
Cauterize But Not So High To Form A Blister On The
Beak Later.
During Beak Trimming:
●Operator Should Be Seated Comfortably In Such A
Way As Each Beak Will Be Cut In The Same Manner.
●Do Not Rush The Process: A Too High Rate (Number
Of Birds/Minute) Could Lead To A Higher Chance Of
Errors & Poor Uniformity.
●Clean Blades With Sandpaper After Use Of 5.000
Chicks, & Renew Them After 20.000 To 30.000 chicks.
●Make Sure The Tongue Of The Bird Does Not Get
Burned
BV-300
Body Weight Management

38. BEAK TRIMMING
Beak Trimming
Attention Points:
After Beak Trimming:
●Increase The Water Level In The Drinkers And The
Pressure In The Pipes To Make It Easy For The
Birds To Drink.
●Make Sure That The Depth Of The Feed Is Adequate,
Do Not Empty The Feeders For A Week Following
Beak Trimming.
Beak trimming is a very delicate operation and
it is important enough to be done right.
Failure to beak trim properly can damage bird
livability and uniformity and consequently affect
negatively to overall flock performances.

40. GENERAL PRINCIPALS OF THE LIGHTING
PROGRAMMES IN REARING PERIOD
Lighting
In Addition To The Influence Of Growth, The Light Programme
Plays A Determinant Role For 3 Essential Reasons:
●Progressive Growth Of The Digestive System.
●Gradual Adaptation To A Body Clock ( Above All ,
Anticipation Of A Dark Period ).
●Lack Of Night Time Energy Supply When Dark Periods
are Too Long.
The Observation Of The Feeding Behaviour With The Water
Consumption Shows A First Peak Of Food Intake In The 2 To 3
Hours That Precede A Dark Period, And A Second Peak
Shortly After Lights Come On. The Crop Is Used During These
Peaks Of Consumption As A Storage Organ.
Allow Us To Encourage Growth & To Control The Birds' Sexual
Maturity. For This Reason, Consider It To Be Essential To Achieve
The Recommended Bodyweight At 5 % Lay, In Order To Obtain An
Egg Weight Which Conforms With The Target From Start Of Lay, &
To Achieve High Overall Production.
Lighting Programm
BV-300
Light Management

41. GENERAL PRINCIPALS OF THE LIGHTING
PROGRAMMES IN REARING PERIOD
Lighting
The Introduction Of A Dark Period From Start Of The Rearing
Period Is Important To Progressively Develop The Crop
Capacity, Which Plays A Role Of Food Reserve. However The
Amount Of Food Stocked Remains Insufficient For The
Nocturnal Energy Needs.
A Rapid Decrease In Light Length Is Used To Slow The
Growth Of Broilers And Broiler Breeders When Young.
Conversely Any Increase In Light Duration Will Favour
Growth. Strong Relation
Light Length/Food Intake/Growth.
The Purpose Of Light Programmes Is To Control The Age At
Point Of Lay And Above All To Avoid The Influence Of The
Variations In Natural Day Length.
Light Duration And Growth:

42. GENERAL PRINCIPALS OF THE LIGHTING
PROGRAMMES IN REARING PERIOD
Lighting
●Photo Stimulation Is Not Necessary To Stimulate Production
Even When The Pullets Are Reared Under Very Short Day
Lengths.
●With Very Little Change In Day Length, We Have Seen That
Sexual Maturity Is Mainly Activated By Obtaining Adequate
Body Weight.
●The Variation Of Light Duration Greatly Influences Sexual
Maturity. Under Certain Conditions, We Can Observe A
Response To A Light Stimulation From 6 Weeks Old. (More
Sensitive Period Is Between 10 And 12 Weeks Old).
●Light Stimulation Will Change Bird Weight At Sexual Maturity
And Adult Weight, As A Consequence The Egg Weight,
Which Is Directly Related To The Bodyweight Of The Bird At
First Egg.
