It is here to help you master the nature of Animal Production. The scope of this module permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using. After going through this module, you are expected to: 1. follow principles in selecting stocks to raise; 2. discuss how to select strain from high producing stocks; 3. identify quality chicks through their physical characteristics; 4. differentiate healthy and vigorous from weak and abnormal chicken/day old chick; and 5. recognize the value of developing the skills in the proper selection of stocks to raise. ii  What I Know Choose the letter of the best answer. Write the chosen letter in your notebook. 1. The first consideration that one should look into when selecting stocks are a. eyes b. body size c. legs d. weight and color 2. Good quality chicks are indicated by_____. a. dull and sunken eyes c. large, bright prominent eyes b. pale and thin legs d. thin, white or pale shanks 3. In selecting stocks to raise, which should be first assessed physically? a. Color b. Eyes c. Shank d. Weight 4. Chicks with deformities should be______. a. discarded or rejected c. given more feeds to eat b. given more attention d. raised in a separate pen 5. If you are going to select a meat type breed intended for breeders, which do you consider most? a. Fast feathering of day-old chicks b. Rapid growth c. Good breast development d. No defects or deformities 1 Lesson Sources of Stocks for Table 1 Egg/Meat Production Select a Strain from High Egg-producing Stock Buy chicks or growing pullets only from a reliable source. Inquire into the performance of stocks previously purchased by customers. Since chicks will be similar to their parents in their ability to grow, to lay, and to resist diseases, one should buy chicks from stock that has been bred for high egg production or broiler meat production as the case may be. The difference in egg production between a good and poor quality stocks may be from 3 to 5 dozen eggs per hen. This could spell the success or failure of the project. Select Quality Chicks It is very important that poultry raisers, prospective poultry raisers and students in poultry raising should know how to select chicks of good quality so that they may buy or cull chicks intelligently. A group of poor chicks can leave their effects behind them for two to three years and some cases may even force a poultry grower to go out of business. Physical Characteristics of a Good Quality Chick Eyes. Good quality chicks must have large, prominent eyes, indicating health and vigor. These are two essential requirements for quality chicks. If one looks into a box containing day-old chicks, the first impression that he/she should get is to look on chick eyes Shank. Good quality chicks have strong well filled legs of good bright color,and creamy white down (the fluffy fine feathers just below the anus). Chicks that have pale thin legs and with chalk white coat should be rejected. Thin, white or pale shank chicks do not possess vigor and health needed for efficient growth. Weight and color. Good quality chicks should have a uniform size and color, the color characteristic of the breed or strain, and must weigh about 35 – 40g. Feather. The down should be well fluffed out and of the proper color of the breed or strain. Chicks with sticky off-colored down denote faulty incubation that produces weak chicks. 2  Deformities. Deformed chicks, meaning chicks with crooked legs and toes, crooked beaks, small eyes, or chicks with blindness, paralysis of the legs or neck and imperfectly healed navels should be discarded or rejected. Selecting Chicks for Broiler Meat Production Male and female chicks intended as prospective breeders for the production of broilers should be selected when one-day old and observed at regular intervals. They should show indication of fast feathering as day-old chicks and at least 10 days. They should indicate rapid growth in 4 to 5 weeks. Before the birds are placed in breeding pens they must have good breast development in 6-12 weeks. They should show no defects like crooked legs and toes, crooked beaks, blindness, paralysis, and imperfectly healed navel. Selecting Replacement Pullets Egg-type. Select pullets which are offspring of hens with high production record (292-299 eggs per year). They must belong to a batch of chicks of good livability – meaning a group of chicks with low death rate. 3 GLOSSARY Bargain - items sold at a very low price Characteristics - qualities and behavior of an animal Cull - refers to unproductive birds Deformities – physical defects Hatchery - a place or establishment where eggs are “hatched” through artificial means Livability – a group of birds with low death rate Poultry grower – refers to one who raise chickens, poultry raiser Pullets – young female chickens, not more than one year old Qualities - essential and distinguishing attributes of the animal Vigor – healthy, active What’s In Direction: Answer this question in your notebook 1. How will you differentiate egg-type breed of chicken against the meat- type of chicken? Notes to the Teacher 4  What’s New Direction: Interview your parents or any of your family on how they select a healthy chicken. Write your answer in your notebook. 1. When can you say that a chicken is healthy and is a good source of stock? What is It A practical guide to follow in the selection of the strain to raise is to observe the type of chicken kept by successful poultry raisers in the locality. Find out which will be cheaper in the long run,- to buy growing pullets or chicks of different breeds. This can be done by estimating or computing the cost of the growing pullets and the amount of feed they will consume and compare them with the cost of the chicks and the feed that they will eat up to 1 ½ years old when both groups will be replaced. Study also the prospect of market for hens after the productive period. The breeder flock must be disease - free. Certified disease – free flock must have a government veterinarian’s certification to the effect that the flock is free from diseases. “A hatchery that offers “bargains” or other form of promotions to get one to buy should be looked upon with suspicion that the chicks it is selling may be of poor quality.” 5  What’s More Direction: Give a simple description on the physical characteristics of a good quality chicks using the table below. Write your answer in your notebook. Parts of the Chicken Description 1. Eyes 2. Shank 3. Weight and color 4. Feather 5. Deformities What I Have Learned 1. Why should a poultry raiser buy his stocks to raise at a reputable sources? What I Can Do Direction: Draw a healthy chicken in your notebook and label the parts of the chicken that needs to be checked in selecting a healthy stock. If gadget is available like cellphone, you may take pictures of a healthy chicken and label the parts. Fasten the picture in your notebook. 6  Assessment Direction: Discuss any of the following questions and write your answer in your notebook. 1. Why poultry raiser should avoid buying “bargains” chicks as source of stock? 2. What should a raiser develop in order to select the best stock to raise? Additional Activities Direction: On a piece of bond paper, draw your ideal poultry farm. Your output will be rated on the following criteria: Creativity - 15 points Cleanliness - 10 points Total - 25 points 7  8 What I Know What's More 1. A 1. Eyes – large and 2. C prominent 3. B 4. A 2. Shank – strong well- 5. A filled legs of good and bright color 3. Weight and Color – uniform size and color, weigh 35-40 g 4. Feather – well-fluffed out 5. Deformities – no crooked legs,crooked beaks, small eyes, blindness, paralysis of legs or neck and imperfectly healed navels. Answer Key References 1.
