Growing poultry

Growing Broilers from Day-Old Chicks to Six Weeks is a practical online course designed to help new and developing poultry farmers successfully manage broiler chickens through the complete six-week production cycle. The course takes you step by step from preparing the poultry house and receiving day-old chicks through brooding, feeding, watering, ventilation, litter management, biosecurity and flock health.

You will also learn how to manage your broilers week by week, monitor growth and uniformity, calculate mortality and feed conversion ratio (FCR), keep useful production records, identify common management problems, and prepare your birds for market. By the end of the course, you should have the practical knowledge needed to raise healthier birds, improve flock performance, reduce avoidable losses and make better production decisions.
