Many owners of country houses and cottages prefer to grow poultry, in particular broilers. And there is a logical explanation for this. Firstly, it becomes possible to supply their households with fresh high-quality poultry meat. Well, and secondly, you can make good money on this business. And the question arises about how much the broiler chicken costs , the cultivation of which you planned on your homestead farm, and whether or not to start this business at all. Of course, yes. And that's why. If you competently approach this enterprise, then after 45-50 days one broiler chicken, the cultivation of which at first seems to you an overwhelmingly laborious task, will enrich your family budget by 150-200 rubles.
Of course, the process of their breeding requires certain physical and material costs, however, this business belongs to the category of profitable, which is what many amateur poultry farmers like it.
As a rule, they acquire selected chickens at special poultry farms. At the same time, many in order to save money, try to buy a brood, which was born 1-2 days ago, it is during this period that a huge number of birds die. It is optimal that the broiler chicken, the cultivation of which is new for you, during the first 10 days eat special nutrition to strengthen immunity.
There are a huge number of broiler breeding options at home. It should be borne in mind that the broiler chicken, the cultivation of which you started, must be kept in special conditions, and therefore the first method of breeding broilers is called cellular. It does not require special expenses.
Chickens are kept in cages, and lighting over feeders and drinkers is common. The initial air temperature is approximately 30 degrees. After a week, it drops to 28 degrees, and after another two weeks - to 24 degrees. Broilers with a cellular version of the content are placed at 13-14 goals per cubic meter. Vaccinations and drinking systems are the same as for egg chickens.
The floor method of keeping implies a denser landing of the bird, especially in houses with mesh floors. For high-quality air exchange, rotating fans are used.
At the initial stage of poultry breeding, various feeds and dairy products are optimal as broiler feed, as chickens gain weight very quickly. To make this process systematic, the bird is given specialized dry mixtures containing the necessary trace elements and vitamins. In the first month of broiler breeding, such feed should contain a sufficient amount of protein.
Food for broilers can be divided into pre-start (1–4 days), start-up (5–30 days) and finish (31–56 days).
Pre-launch involves the use of grain components, including barley and corn.
Starting feed is much like the pre-launch option, only the ratios change and dietary supplements are introduced. At the final stage, cake, fodder yeast, fish meal, grass meal are added to the cereals - these components are necessary in order to enhance the growth of broilers.
Thus, if you manage to organize the right approach to broiler breeding, your efforts and efforts will be guaranteed to be rewarded with high profits.
