SETTING-UP POULTRY FARM
The success of organic poultry production enterprise depends
not only on the financial resources of the entrepreneur but also
on the application of technology during the various phases of
production. The following must be considered:
• Personal qualification and capabilities
• Availability of resources
• Supply of good stocks
• Constant supply of other farm inputs
• Market assurance
• Transportation facilities
• Site of the farm
• Compliance to local zoning

SELECTING GOOD
STOCKS
From brooding and hardening
stage, we select good chicks to be
group as our Grow-out or Breeder
flocks.
IDENTIFYING
UNWANTED STOCKS
Chicken with symptoms and existing
sickness
Deformation (leg) Deformation (beak)
Colds & internal

problems
(Wings-dropped)
Runny nose Avian Pox

IDENTIFYING GOOD
STOCKS
Chicken with good characteristics as
stocks
Chicken without
symptoms or signs of
sickness.
BROODING STAGE
Light and heat proportion
Automatic 31˚-33˚ on their housing.
Manual observe their activities in the brooding area.
Food and water intake

Food should be unlimited
Water should always be fresh at all times
Note
Water and food dispenser should always be cleaned
before using. Cleanliness on brooding houses should properly
observed all the time. In order to lessen the mortality rate on
this stage.
BROODING STAGE
Age of chicks Temperature
(days) ( Celsius )
1–7 32.2 – 35.0
8 – 14 29.4 – 32.2
14 – 21 26.7 – 29.4
BROODING STAGE
Stocking Density
From day-old chick it should be 30 or
33 max stocking density per square-foot.
To enhance their growth and spacing.
IMPORTANT:
With good air circulation whole day
and away from pest like rats, ants, and
other unwanted things.
FREE RANGE CHICKEN
Stocking density
3 chicken in every square – meter
(sq.mt.) regardless to its gender.
IMPORTANT:
Giving them area for their growth
and space for their natural activities
like picking and eating insects and
scratching the soil.
FREE RANGE CHICKEN
Accessible items: shelter/stand, Water
and Grass as food

• In humans, health and wellness is greatly
determined by the food he/she eats. This is
also true in animals. Animal health and growth
is largely determined by the kind of feeds and
the feeding system/nutrition.
• There are 5 main components in an
animal feed: protein, fats/lipids,
carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals.
• Ratio of these main elements vary
depending on the age of the animals.
Protein = 25%
Lipids/Fats = 8%
Carbohydrates = 60%
Vitamins = 2%
Minerals = 5%
Nutrient Sources
1. Protein = Animal,
Plant Sources,
Fish meal
2. Lipids/Fats = Copra meal
3. Carbohydrates = Corn / rice bran
4. Vitamins = FFJ, FPJ, FAA
5. Minerals = Salt, CRH, soil
Feed Forms
o Mash
o Pellets
o Crumbles

Good protein source for humans
AGE
Must be at least 2 ½ months or 75 days
old chicken

900 – 1200g (0.9 – 1.2 kg)
SELECTING BREEDER
When selecting good breeder, we must
conceder some factors for our chicken
for better result.
Breeding age
at 6-8 months old with good health
condition and appearance for better
performance.
SELECTING BREEDER
Crossbreeding
bigger and better, sick resistant
than pure breeds.
BASILAN/PARAWAKAN (Shamo)
Crossbreed to
SASSO, KABER, Philippine Native

Chicken
BALANCE
ENVIRONMENT
Where trees and animal are together and
there are no chemical present in the area.
Where dirt of the animals are being

decomposed by the unseen microorganisms
and become fertilizer naturally to the plants.
Where animals eat fruit that trees produce

and control insect population by eating them
too.
