Raise Organic Chicken

This document provides information on raising organic chickens, including the standards, stages of development, housing requirements, and management practices. The main points are: 1. Philippine National Standards for organic chicken require a 21-42 day conversion period, prohibit genetic engineering and reproductive hormones, and only allow antibiotics in case of illness. 2. Chickens progress through egg, brooding, hardening, and free range stages over 21-190 days. 3. Housing requires good ventilation, shade, and various design elements to control temperature. Bedding materials absorb odor and waste is composted. 4. Selecting healthy stock, providing adequate food, water, space and sanitation are keys to successful brooding and

Features on Raising Organic Chicken
1. Conversion Period
•Poultry intended for meat products should be
organically reared after 21 days from hatching.
•Layers should be organically reared 42 days
before laying and throughout the laying period.
2. Breeds and breeding
•Breeding techniques that embryo transfer,
genetic engineering, treatments with reproductive
hormones and semen sexing are not allowed.
•The use of genetically engineered species or
breeds is not allowed.
3. Mutilations and animal identification
•Debeaking could be carried out by qualified
personnel who shall see to it that suffering of
animals is reduced to a minimum.
4. Animal Nutrition
•The diet shall be offered to the animals in a
form allowing them to execute their natural
feeding behavior.
•Supplementation of vitamins and minerals is
allowed for as long as these are obtained from
natural sources.
5. Animal health- antibiotics is not allowed.

CHICKEN EGG CLASSIFICATION


Good eggs This includes cleaned and free
from any stain / dirt.
Reject eggs Cracked, off-shaped, off- size,
heavily/partially soiled and
wet eggs.
Poultry Housing Management
Good ventilation is necessary for the growth of
chicken.
In natural farming, odor is tolerable because of the
bedding materials that includes micro organism
which suppress the growth of non beneficial micro-
organism that is responsible of the bad odor.

•A well ventilated chicken house. The


bedding materials are rice hulls, sand,
garden soil and salt, sprayed with IMO, with
the ratio of 8:1:1:1
The following measures will help in achieving
suitable house temperature and ventilation
1.Longitudinal axis of poultry houses should be on
an east-west orientation to avoid as much direct
sunlight as possible inside the building.

2. Poultry houses with natural ventilation should be


no more than 10 meters in width for efficient air
movement.

3. Distance between poultry houses should be at least


equivalent to width of the building to allow free air
circulation.

4. Roof eaves should be no less than 2.5 meters from floor


level to reduce solar heat that would reach the birds.
5.Roof overhang of 1.5 meters should be provided to
increase shaded area of the poultry house and to
protect inside of building from driving rain.

6.Roof should have a minimum slope of 35% to


enhance air movement inside poultry house.

7. Roof monitor or ventilators are very useful in


allowing exist of hot air. However, these should be
constructed to exclude entry of rain.

8. Shade trees can be planted around poultry houses


to increase shaded area. These trees, however, should
not obstruct natural ventilation.
9.Reflective light-color paint can be applied on
the roof to help reduce solar heat.

10.Use of roofing materials such as aluminum,


asbestos or nipa.

11.Installation of sprinklers on rooftop to


spray water during weather.

12.Blowers or fans can be installed inside


poultry house
BROODING STAGE
Housing Features
Food and Water it should be accessible all the time to ensure their proper
growth and secure them from starvation and dehydration that will cause
mortality on our new batch.
Proper Ventilation should be provided for the growth and oxygen of the
chick.
Light or Heat should always be present in the house for it will help them
build their feathers and keeping them dry all the time.

Importance
To reduce Mortality Rate when in brooding and when we start to put them
in a group on free range stage.
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
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.
Factors to Successful brooding
1. Proper temperature.
2. Adequate space allowance.
(floor, feeding and drinking space)
3. Proper ventilation. (adequate
fresh oxygen supply)
4. Proper sanitation. “Good
sanitation is the best preventive measure
against diseases”.
5. Adequate lighting facilities.
SELECTING GOOD
STOCKS
From brooding and hardening stage, we
select good chicks to be group as our
Grow-out or Breeder flocks.
IDENTIFYING GOOD
STOCKS
Chicken with good characteristics as stocks

signs of sickness.

CHRACTERISTICS OF GOOD QUALITY

3. Crumbles
Things to do during disease outbreak

•Implement biosecurity measures in the farm
•Review the medication program
•Consult organic expert

Things to do in case of cannibalism


•Separate the injured birds and treat the
wound with organic anti-peck preparations.
Cannibalism can be controlled by:
•Identifying its causes

•Giving rations containing the right quantity and


quality of protein

•Providing birds with adequate floor, feed and


drinking spaces

•Maintaining the recommended temperature and


proper ventilation
•Providing adequate light in the pen
•Debeaking chicks accurately at recommended
• age
Procedures in waste management and
dead chicken disposal

•Identify and segregate biodegradable,


recyclable, and non-biodegradable
•Biodegradable such as waste of birds
can be used for organic fertilizer
production
•Dead birds must be buried at least 6
feet below the ground
•Recyclable materials can be sold
Procedure in putting up a poultry farm

•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
