DAY OLD CHICK GRADING: EFFECT ON UNIFORMITY?

[Richard Abegunde]

Very informative

[D Kannathasan]

The increased variation reduces overall flock performance and makes the flock management much more difficult. Perform a 100% weighing & grading when the flock is 7 to 14 days old. This allows the chicks to be grouped by weight & feed intake, which controls competitions for feed from very early age

small birds are not comfortable with large one and try hide under feeders, drinkers, corners of the shed, cant easily eat feed, and drink water. even remain small till end of life or die due scaring of feed , water, pecking by large ones. so they also harbour germs line e.coli due to poor health status.

Body length uniformity in day old chick was more important than body weight uniformity. Longer chicks exhibited better growth potential throughout the experiment. The feeding efficiency and survival rate of longer chicks were numerically greater compared to smaller chicks.

Grading day-old chicks by weight and length can improve flock uniformity and performance.
