POULTRY FARMING - WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW FROM THE BEST

Kienyeji poultry farming is the rearing of improved breeds of indigenous chicken in the market. In Kenya, it is mainly referred to as rearing of Kuku kienyeji.

Here are the few things that need to be considered before starting up a Kuku kienyeji farm:

You first need to choose a poultry breed that meets your current market. This will give you a chance of making spectacular returns. Take your time and research on finding the best chicken breed that is suitable for your environment. If you think with a business mind, you will be able to take some required risks and initiate good capital to maximize your returns from the business. The most popular kienyeji chicken breeds are as follows:

Kari improved kienyeji chicken.
Kuroiler chicken.
Rainbow Rooster chicken.
Kenbro chicken.

Secondly, note that one can stock day old, month old, fertilized eggs, or mature kienyeji chicken to start with, but this needs to be guided by some technical information, like the age of maturity of the breed, disease resistance and adaptability, low input or high input breed. This is because some chicken are heavy feeders, and this can strain your budget for feeds.

Next, note that some improved kienyeji chicken are less productive in terms of egg production. This is the main reason as to why their eggs are so expensive to purchase.

Kienyeji chicken may not require intensive feeding and management since one can supplement commercial kienyeji chicken feed with locally available feeds which prove to save maximum capital.

On the same note, to make kienyeji feeds, you require a good formula

When it comes to housing, the housing can be made of locally available materials, but more space for the chicken run is needed.

Note that chickens need the chicken perches where they can rest or lay eggs. Short ladders are needed if the chicken house is above the ground.

WHAT ARE THE DOS AND DON'TS IN POULTRY FARMING?
I always receive many calls,Sms and inboxes from frustrated and despondent poultry farmers who are on the verge of giving up on their farming projects.Most of the time it's their faults.So what are the dos and don'ts of poultry farming?
•Allow for good air circulation in laying house.I have been to farms with poor ventilation you might think it's a prison cell.How do you expect your birds to breathe?All the ammonia,carbon dioxide and dust will accumulate there and this is disastrous to your birds.Respiratory problems will always lurk in the poultry house.
•A hybrid layer needs on average 130 gm-140gms of feed per day.A kienyeji/improved kienyeji can feed on 110 to 120gms of feed per day.Some farmers underfeed their bird and expect to get good production.It can never happen.Overfeeding your birds is a no-no.
•Distribute food troughs and water troughs evenly (1 drinker for 50 birds.Likewise for trough feeders)
•Provide layer's mash at around 20 weeks when you get 10-20% egg production and introduce it gradually to avoid stressing the birds.
•Laying nests must be kept in dark places and eggs collected 3 times a day.Failure to collect eggs on time will lead to broodiness and egg eating.
•Allow a nest with 4 hens each.Don't let your birds lay on the floor as this leads to dirty eggs.
•Provide soft clean litter.Wood shavings and rice husks is most suitable.
•Store eggs with small end down to allow them to 'breathe'.
•Clean dirty eggs with steel wool/coarse leaves (never wash them).Don't touch eggs with dirty hands as this leads to contamination.
•Debeaking at 12 to 14 weeks is most suitable.
•Culling when egg production drops below 40% is recomnended.This is at 72 to 80 weeks.
•Don’t overcrowd brooders .A spacing of 4 metres diameter for 500 birds is most suitable.
•Feed must be of good quality.Always test your feeds in a laboratory to ensure its quality.
•Give clean water ad-lib(usiwapimie).Birds drink twice as much as they eat.
•Don’t mix young and older birds.Younger birds have lower immunity than older ones and diseases would spread quickly.Another thing is that older birds would fight the younger ones.
•Clean poultry house is of utmost importance.If you live in a clean house why subject your birds to dirty environment?
•Dispose of dead birds quickly and isolate sick ones.Never consume sick birds.
•Provide disinfectant at entrance to house
•Antibiotics should never be used to replace good management and should be used on prescription by a veterinarian.
•Keep records which should include:
• Number of eggs produced
•Amount of food eaten
•Health interventions e.g. treatment
•Deaths
•Sales and purchases.
When all these is done then you will be on your way to becoming a successful poultry farmer .May your efforts be rewarded.
