How to construct a poultry house?
Commercial chicken farming requires a high-level of expertise, understanding and commitment to be successful.
Whilst itβs important to emphasize the need for excellent flock management at all times, something that comes with experience and aptitude, adopting the correct housing techniques and equipment will set a firm foundation for success of your poultry venture.
The following is a guiding checklist for poultry house construction:
"A poultry house should provide the birds with a comfortable environment and protect them from the extremities of the prevailing weather (rain, wind and sunshine).
"It should have adequate space for the flock to be kept in the house. The ideal stocking density is:
1. Layers: one square metre for 6 birds.
2. Broilers: One square metre for 11 birds.
"It should be open-sided to allow natural ventilation with an east-west orientation to minimise the amount of sunlight entering the house directly. Its not good for sun rays to strike directly into the poultry house.
"It should be rectangular in shape and have a wall not higher than three feet on the longer side. The widith should be at least 7-9 metres, but for the length you are only limited by your land. Avoid building poultry houses in a square form.
"The wall can be made from stones, iron sheets, timber, silver boards or bricks
"The rest of the side of the wall should have a chicken wire mesh. The wire mesh on the sides of the house should be of a small gauge to prevent entry of wild birds, dogs and rodents. This normal chicken mesh is not long lasting.....within a few months it rusts and gets off the house. its better to use a plastic quoted mesh.
"The roof of the house should have a reflecting surface and pitched with overlaps to ensure that the house is comfortable and well ventilated. There should be enough gap between the birds and the roof to avoid heat stress. The pin of the house should be 8 metres from the ground, and the sides shoul
17 LAWS OF FARMING YOU SHOULD KNOW
1. Never target peak seasons, peak seasons come with their own challenges. Be a farmer not a gambler.
2. Choose at least two main crops and a rotational crop plan. Jumping from one crop to another is not right to your pocket.
3. Plan your farm and always have the crops at different age stages, to ensure constant supply.
4. No crop that is not profitable, just master the pro and cons of a particular crop.
5. Having a lot of many is not a licence to successful farming.
6. Have a spray and fertilizer plan and stick to it.
7. Never take advise from agrovets and agrochemical sales agent. Most of them are sales persons and not agronomists.
8.Try as much as possible to cut down on farm expenditure without compromising on produce quality.
9. Never hold back on a produce, if its a quick perishable product. Sell it at the prevailing prices.
10. Never plant a new seed on large scale before doing trials unless you have seen it somewhere.
11. Never entrust your million dollar idea against a farmhand, ensure you are present during critical stages of crop development untill marketing.
12. Never employ a close family member to manage your farm, most of them will fail you.
13. If you are neighbouring farmers plant same crop.
14. Never apply any farming information you get online, without consulting your agronomist.
15. Always have a farm plan.
16. Old is always good.
Most of the old seed varieties and chemicals will never disappoint you.
17. Passion in farming is key and will take you far.
