Important factor in raising laying hens

BREEDING

Seedlings are sold in the market specifically chicken, generally in the form of final stock. Finall stock is the result of crossbreeding of genetically superior seeds to achieve a goal more specific and economical. For example, to produce meat (broilers) or eggs (chicken layer) even those that are dual function.

Classification by descendants:

Pure Line (pure) >>>> Grand Parent stock (GPS) >>>> Parent Stock (PS) >>>> Final Stock (FS) >>>> Commercial Breeders

Final stock of this type that are commonly peterrnak, which is the last descendant.

Final Stock

Any final stock each having a strain, a trade name of the company (trade mark) was produced. In Indonesia the strains produced by the breeder (breeder) of Parent Stock and there are even some companies that specialized in selling breeding parent stock.

Buying Chicks

final chick breeding stock sold by the dealer or directly to the designated agent, such as Poultry shop, cooperatives and others at the age of one day, or often referred to as the DOC (Day Old Chick). The first step that must be done is to determine the amount and direction of breeding chickens, whether for the purpose of egg production or broiler. Purchasing seeds is done by booking through an agent or can be a direct way. Then collect information about the performance of the strain chickens to be ordered, in order to determine the standard of production (laying or meat) as well as handle the maintenance.

    Efficiency of feed use

Layer

    Fast spawn
    High egg production and egg quality good
    Power is on high
    The efficiency of feed use.

2. In Sight

Physical

    Nimble and agile, always actively looking for food.
