Study Notes
Poultry Production (Broiler Production)
- Overview: The second half of the semester will cover poultry production, including broilers (meat-type) and layers (egg-type) chickens.
- Objectives: Students should be able to identify different poultry species, compare males and females, and explain broiler/layer management practices.
- Poultry Species in the Philippines: Chicken is the top species, followed by ducks and quails.
- Egg Products: Common egg products include balot/balut, bibingkang abnoy, century egg, kwek kwek/tokneneng, and salted egg.
- Reasons for Poultry Popularity: Rapid growth (4 weeks for broilers, 20 weeks for layers), fast reproduction (laying every 24-26 hours), and efficient feed conversion.
- Poultry Industry Problems: High production costs, unstable feed supplies, and inefficient marketing strategies.
- Male vs. Female Chicken: Differences in size, color, feather characteristics, wattle size, comb shape, and the presence of spurs. (Table provided shows specific details)
- Other Ways to Distinguish Male/Female: Males are more aggressive, have a crowing sound, and are generally stronger than females.
- Broiler Production: Broilers are meat-type chickens that mature quickly (1.6-2kg in 33-42 days).
- Broiler Breeds in Philippines: Some popular breeds mentioned are Cobb, San Miguel, Hubbard, Anak 2000, Cornish, and Indian River.
- Brooding Management: Chicks are kept in a specific area with supplemental heat (32.2-35°C) until they can regulate their body temperature. Includes housing, temperature, and feed/water.
Chicken Dressing
- Dressing Percentage: Calculated by dividing the dressed weight by the live weight, multiplied by 100. High percentages indicate better profitability.
- Pre-Dressing Procedures: Chickens should not be vaccinated 72 hours prior to slaughtering, and should not be fed 12 hours prior to decrease antibiotic resistance and ease organ cleaning. Weighting the live chicken is essential for accuracy.
- Dressing Method (Kosher Method): Steps include restraining the chicken, bleeding, washing, scalding, removing feathers, eviscerating, removing head and shanks, washing the carcass, and cleaning giblets.
- Dressed Chicken: The weight of the chicken after removing feathers, blood, head, feet, and internal organs.
