Male Management

[Md kayum]

Provide nutrition & farm management

[Muhammad Ahmad]

I would like ask at what age we are discussing Male management?

At different ages different male management needed according to age.

But we need to focus on male management 10 time more than female because if one female gives 150 chicks 1 male gives 1500 chicks.

Good litter management

very good nutrition

stocking density: Avoid unnecessary competition in the pen
