The use of various sources of potassium in growing broilers
Abstract: The studies show the comparative efficiency of the use of potassium chloride and potassium carbonate to improve the productivity of broilers cross "Smena 8". It was shown that both chloride and potassium carbonate can be inserted into compound feeds for broilers in order to increase productivity and improve feed conversion. The use of potassium chloride in a dose of 1.5 kg / t of feed ...

Energy-efficient heat exchanger creates comfortable temperatures – dust separation rate of 31 %
Hendrik Huisman from Molkwerum in the Dutch province of Friesland can finally call three fully functional poultry houses his own again. Unwillingly, the farmer had to take a break from broiler production because of a devastating fire at the beginning of 2015. One of his barns was fully destroyed, another had been completely wrecked by the water used to fight the fire. As a consequence, Huisman ...

Modifying broiler diets with phytase and vitamin d metabolite (25-OH D3): impact on phosphorus in litter, amended soils, and runoff
Received for publication April 14, 2009. Adding phytase and 25- hydroxycholecalciferol (25-OH D3) to broiler diets has been shown effective at reducing total P concentrations in broiler litter. This study was conducted to determine the impact of field application of broiler litter from modified diets on P solubility in litter-amended soils and P losses in runoff. Five broiler diets and their ...

Good poultry climate control pays off - Case Study
Saving energy is an important topic for livestock farmers today, especially in broiler production. Apart from good insulation, the correct heating system and an individual ventilation concept, recovering heat from the used house air can enormously help with cutting down on energy costs. One of the most costly factors: heating. Using a heat exchanger, which transfers thermal energy from one ...

Iceland: New poultry house for broiler production - Case Study
There is a good reason why Iceland’s agriculture is dominated by animal husbandry: the island country in Northern Europe has a very unique nature, which is, however, also characterised by lava fields and a harsh climate. Only 1 % of the country’s area is suitable for cultivation, another 19.5 % can be used as pasture. Poultry production is one branch of Iceland’s livestock ...

Potassium chloride supplementation in broiler rearing
The influence of dietary feed-grade potassium chloride on the productive performance in broilers was studied. Supplementation of diets with 1500 and 3000 ppm of this mineral additive improved live bodyweight in broilers at 34 days of age by 3.52 and 1.33%, respectively, feed conversion ratio by 3.01 and 0.71%. Supplementation of drinking water (1.5 g per 1 L) improved these productivity ...

Energy use and greenhouse gas emissions and related improvement options of the broiler chicken meat supply chain
Energy consumption and the climate–change impact (i.e., carbon footprint) of a typical Finnish broiler chicken fillet product were studied using a supply–chain integrated life cycle assessment method. All essential production stages from parent stock and production of farming inputs to product distribution and sales in retail stores were included in the assessment. The results of the ...

Poultry production in the Caribbean
Chicken is one of the most common ingredients in Caribbean cuisine. The high costs of beef and pork make poultry the most preferred meat in households. The yearly production of poultry averages approximately at 200,000 metric tonnes of meat. The majority of poultry are raised on large factory farms using intensive farming techniques. The introduction to new technologies in the poultry sector has ...

All-Natural KMI Zeolite for Animal Feed, Dairy & Compost
Feed Additive Zeolite is used widely by livestock farmers as an animal feed additive for beef cattle, dairy Cows, Swine, poultry (broilers & egg production), and sheep. Since Zeolite is the World’s only naturally occurring, negatively charged, mineral a great number of benefits in the feed process can result from the basic chemistry of the zeolite as an animal feed additive. Many ...

A matter of keeping the litter dry - Asger Petersen, Denmark - Case Study
Asger Petersen from Denmark produce organic broilers with outdoor runs. Ventilation systems perform much alike during the mild period, but I saw significant differences during the colder/cold and the warm periods. Based on this, I found that a ventilation system from DACS would bring me the most. During winter the mixing of warm room air with incoming air is essential for the in-house climate and ...

Efficacy and benefits of prevention of coccidiosis in broilers by vaccination in comparison to anticoccidial drug program
In poultry production control of coccidiosis still relies heavily on adding anticoccidial drugs to feed. In the present study the efficacy of coccidiosis prevention in broilers by vaccination in comparison to anticoccidial drug programs was evaluated. The efficacy of the live attenuated vaccine Livacox T administered to broiler chickens was investigated in a laboratory trial by assessing ...

Well-proven feed pan “Male Pan” wears down the beak naturally - Case Study
The Verwaest-Mer family from Oud-Turnhout in the Belgian province of Antwerp recently completed two modern houses for broiler breeder management. The barns, each measuring 28 x 100 meters and designed for 22,000 breeders, combine classic Big Dutchman products and innovations in an ideal manner. One such classic is the chain feeding system, which is the oldest product of the Big Dutchman ...
