Poultry Production Module 2

The process of raising and caring for poultry, such as chickens, ducks, and turkeys, for profit or consumption.

Specific methods used to provide poultry with food to ensure optimal growth and health.

A curriculum focused on teaching practical life skills related to various trades, including poultry farming.

Educational resources designed for students to learn about various topics related to poultry.

Legal right granted to the creator of a work to control its use and distribution.

The process of providing feeds to poultry to ensure their optimal growth and production.

The sources of nutrients used to create poultry feed.

A specific mix of feed ingredients formulated for chickens.

Substances in feed that nourish and support growth.

A characteristic of poultry to reach market weight quickly.

The process of creating a balanced chicken feed using different ingredients.

The practice of providing proper nutrition to ensure optimal growth and productivity in poultry.

Feed that provides maximum nutrients with minimum cost.

The largest cost in poultry production is feed.

Feeds are primarily for maintaining life and promoting growth, not just fattening or reproduction.

Yellow corn is high in energy, low in fiber, highly digestible, and palatable.

Corn gluten feed is a combination of corn gluten and corn bran, a good source of carbohydrates, and contains ~25% protein.

Broilers (young chickens raised for meat) need the greatest quantity of nutrients for rapid bone and muscle development.

Copra meal is produced by drying and processing coconut meat to extract oil, then cooking and pressing the remaining material with sugar/molasses.

Fish meal, made from dried and ground fish parts, provides a maximum of 45% protein.

Common examples of cereals include corn, rice, and sorghum; root crops include cassava, camote, and gabi.

A feed source derived from corn, containing 18 to 20% protein and a good source of carbohydrates.

A plant-based protein source, available in high protein (46%) and low protein (43%) varieties. It's almost as good as animal protein.

A plant-based feed containing 21% protein, but primarily used for its vitamin A and yellow pigmenting properties.

A by-product of coconut oil extraction, containing 20% protein. It's the most common and cheapest plant protein source.

A high-quality animal protein source, containing 58 to 60% protein, carbohydrates and fats.

A source of animal protein, containing 56% protein but low in energy, used as a possible replacement for fish meal.

A by-product of meat processing, containing 50% protein, used as an animal feed ingredient.

Essential minerals required in large quantities by chickens, such as calcium, phosphorus, chlorine, potassium, manganese, copper, zinc, iodine and selenium.

Water is essential for poultry as it acts as a carrier for nutrients, lubricates tissues, regulates bodily processes, and aids in growth.

Protein is a critical nutrient for poultry, primarily contributing to body growth and development, repairing tissues, and assisting in digestion.

Carbohydrates are the primary source of energy for poultry, providing heat and energy for their activities.

Fats are another source of energy for poultry, providing heat and energy and contributing to fattening.

Cereals, legumes, copra meal, and root crops are all excellent sources of energy for poultry.

Different feed types, such as booster, grower, finisher, and starter, are formulated specifically for different stages of a layer's life.

Similar to layers, broilers have specific feed types (grower, developer, finisher, starter) depending on their growth phase.

Pellet feed is a common form that is made by pressing crushed ingredients into a uniform shape.

Water is essential for various bodily functions in animals, including transporting nutrients, lubricating tissues, aiding digestion and absorption.

Chick starter feed is the type of animal feed with the highest protein content, specifically designed for young chicks' rapid growth.

Antibiotics are beneficial for improving feed conversion, growth rate, and reducing mortality in animals, but they do not repair broken tissues.

Crumble is a type of animal feed made from crushed pellets, while mash, grits, and pellet are other forms.

Poultry feeds during the early stages of growth should have a high protein content, typically between 22-24%.

A laying hen typically needs about 105 grams of feed per day.
