Record keeping is extremely important to successful poultry production.
- Financial decisions-before creating a budget or making important and costly financial decisions, records need to be analyzed.
- Feeding decisions-records are useful in deciding what types of feed rations, the quantity of feed rations, and the effectiveness of a specific feed ration.
- Breeding decisions-when deciding which birds to mate, past breeding records can be put to use.
- Productivity of birds-records should be kept on the productivity of birds (eggs, reproduction, pounds of meat, etc.) to be used when the flock must be culled.
- There are different types of records to keep in poultry production.
- These systems vary by many factors.
- Species raised – The records kept for different species of poultry are going to differ because of the different uses. For example chicken records are going to be different from turkey records.
- Breed raised – Certain breeds are raised for a specific purpose (laying, broilers, breeding), and therefore need different records.
- Type of bird – The type of bird raised is going to determine the record keeping system. Some chickens are raised for egg production (for consumption), egg production (for repopulating), meat production, etc.
- There are different records to keep for chickens.
- Chicks – chicks are young birds before the growth process has started. The records for chicks may include date hatched, date moved to pullet/broiler house, feed consumption, and water consumption.
- Pullets – pullets are birds growing to become layers. Certain records to be kept for these birds include feed consumption, water consumption, and light-dark hours.
- Layers – layers are female birds that are in the stage of laying eggs. Records needed include feed consumption, water consumption, and egg production.
- Broilers – broilers are raised to be harvested for chicken meat to consume. Specific records may include feed consumption, water consumption, weight, average daily gain, days on feed, and processing date.
- Breeding stock – breeding stock are used to produce birds to repopulate the flock. Breeding date, birds mated, and hatching date are examples of important records.
- Turkeys require specific records.
- Poults – poults are young birds that will be raised to be harvested for consumption. Specific records may include feed consumption, water consumption, weight, average daily gain, days on feed, and processing date.
- Breeding Stock – breeding stock are used to produce birds to repopulate the flock. Breeding date, birds mated, and hatching date are examples of important records to keep.
DIFFERENT RECORD KEEPING FORMS USED IN POULTRY PRODUCTION.
- Whenever you begin a record keeping system, you must learn about the information requested on each form.
- Mortality (death) of birds – every day a record should be taken of any birds that did not survive.
- Feed used – daily records need to be taken on the quantity of feed fed to
birds.
- Cost – Financial records must be kept of any items bought or sold, e.g. feed, veterinary costs, equipment, supplies, birds, etc.
- Vaccinations – Specific vaccinations may be needed, depending on the bird and location of production facility. An accurate record must be kept to insure sufficient withdrawal times.
- Hens removed – Periodically hens must be removed from the flock when their productivity is too low. Be sure to keep record of which bird, when she was removed, and the reason for removal.
- Eggs produced – Eggs must be collected and recorded daily. Be sure to include any inconsistency noticed.

cartierbraceletlove Desde luego no es Fantasy, es un juego totalmente distinto. A mí me da pena que se hayan petado Fantasy para montar esta cosa, una mezcla de Mordheim con el juego de cartas 1. Si no dices “uno” a tiempo, robas 2 cartas. Es muy divertido jugar al 1 con tus amigos. Pero ya hay un juego que se llama 1. Espero que GW y sus fanboys disfruten de tan original y dicharachero producto. A mí no me atrae, respeto que lo vendan a quien se lo compre, pero no puedo entender que hayan matado un juego de la tradición y de decenas de miles de jugadores como WHF, para montar “esto”.

My gosh. I am SO totally guilty as charged of everything in that article! Please, ladies, take heed – it is right on the money. Maybe it is part of being female, that we are wired to give SO much benefit of the doubt, to see all they COULD be once they see how wonderful the connection is and magically transform, that LOVE will fix everything that is wrong, will make up for everything that is lacking, and that my IMAGINATION is somehow accurate.

Hello Web Admin, I noticed that your On-Page SEO is is missing a few factors, for one you do not use all three H tags in your post, also I notice that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization. On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there’s even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That’s right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at. Seo Plugin
Thanks for the eye opener
