The Methods of Profitable Villages Chickens

We all know chicken is a processed cuisine that is still very loved by most people, the price offered from chicken is relatively stable from year to year in the appeal of other chickens, in the community raising chickens generally still in the governance as a backup business only or in other words as for personal consumption alone is not yet in a relatively large amount and is managed in a modest manner.

A lot of knowledge that needs to be learned in raising chickens if we want to manage chicken as a field of business, it is not impossible this business is a business that is very promising in fact many successful breeder chicken breeders.

The Methods of Profitable Villages Chickens

Demand of chicken in the community is very much at a price that is competitive to make this chicken cultivation is very fitting to try, some methods in raising chicken that can be applied include:

a. System without enclosure

For chicken cattle system without cage, there is no provision of the form of cage. Therefore it is often also called the original cage. The most important thing the cage can protect the chickens from the cold of night and the hands of ignorant. chicken system without cage, chicken left wild. In the morning the chicken is released and late in the afternoon the chicken is put in the cage.

This enclosure system is suitable to be done in villages that still have a large yard. With a system without cages, farmers are more efficient in providing feed and daily care. Chickens usually look for extra feed themselves. But the weakness, the productivity of chicken cattle with this system is very low. In addition, the chicken became wild even to not want to enter the cage and sleep by perched on the trees.

The marriage in the chicken cattle system without enclosure occurs naturally as in the wild. Usually the egg-laying females will incubate their own eggs to hatch and nurture their children. Breeders only need to provide a comfortable place for the brood.

Disadvantages in this chicken system can not be controlled and the age of chicken from one to another difficult to distinguish other than that the chicken often mixed with other poultry and not infrequently the chicken likes to fight resulting in disabled chickens.

b. Semi-intensive system

For semi-intensive system can be used home type yard, this type of enclosure in the form of a stretch of land around the fenced so that the chicken can not get out of the cage environment. In the cage area provided a closed cage where the chicken rested or shelter from the rain.

The type of yard enclosure should be left grounded and overgrown like grass. Occasionally the ground can be clawed so as not too dense so that earthworms can grow to feed the chicken naturally. Other types of cages such as post type and battery type are rarely used for chicken livestock. The reason, because the cost of manufacture and operation is not proportional to the productivity of chicken. Except for some other types of domestic poultry such as arab chicken, chicken poncin, chicken nunukan and superior chicken crosses.

Marriage in semi-intensive system, utilizing the colony enclosure. The cage is 1 × 2 meters wide with a height of 0.75-100 cm. Cages of this size can be inhabited by 6 female mothers and 1 male tail. Marriage can happen within a few days. After the female parent married males, within three days the resulting eggs can be ascertained fertil or can hatch (three days from marriage not enter the cage).

The eggs produced in the colony enclosure are immediately removed and taken to be incubated by other sires. Or it could also be infested with other birds such as geese or ducks. Or could use an incubator. When the female breeding in the colony enclosure undergoes the incubation period can be removed by flushing or soaking in clean water.

In this system the chicken can be known every - tipa age of the chicken because it can be grouped according to age each - each and can know when will be harvested but the lack of this process we must require a large enough capital.

Nourish the chicken

The village chicken is the original local chicken. It is said that this chicken comes from a jungled fowl. Do not be fooled by other types of domestic poultry such as chicken katai and chicken arab. Although now many found the results of chicken chickens to increase productivity. Excess chicken has a strong resistance to disease.

Chickens of chicken can be obtained by buying in the form of eggs, Day Old Chicken (DOC), or sires. When buying in the form of eggs, be sure to know the origin of the egg. When choosing seeds from DOC, identify good traits include no defects, standing straight, shining eyes, perfectly absorbable navel, and clean fur.

Livestock chicken usually does not distinguish between laying hens and broilers. The productivity of chicken egg laying is very low, about 115 grains per year.

Growth is also slow, until the age of 2 months the size of the chicken is still as big as the fist of an adult. Only at the age of 8-12 months of chicken is ready for consumption size.

There is a mistaken assumption about the chicken, the hens can only lay eggs when married by a male. Opinion is wrong, because the chicken as well as laying chicken and other poultry can lay eggs though not married. Chickens can also be productive as long as getting the right treatment and feeding. Eggs are produced because they are not married infertile and will not hatch. Chickens can lay eggs after the age of 6 months.

Unlike racial chickens, females have high instincts to incubate eggs and nurture their children. During the brooding and childcare period, the hens are aggressive to protect their children.

There are things that must be challenged in the original chicken cattle, do not confine the chicken 24 hours and do not just provide feed manufacturer only. When both things are done, get ready to lose money. Original chicken native in the brackets 24 hours means that must be given artificial feed continuously. As a result, due to the slow growth, the cost of feed will not cover the cost of production.

So how to keep the chicken for profit? Let the yard in the fence with ground covered with grass. Such an environment will provide a natural feed for chickens. Forage will grow as additional feed and earthworms can also meet the needs of chicken protein. There is a habit of eating pebbles to help digestion in their cache. Artificial feed is not given intensively, only 2-3 times a day. The rest let the chicken look for itself.

Chicken feed

Not many manufacturers produce feed for chicken, some have other types of chicken feed such as arab chicken, chicken poncin, superior chicken. When the chicken feed given to the livestock chicken can be ascertained the cost of production is too expensive. In general, the need for chicken livestock feed is as follows:

- To get around the expensive feed, breeders can mix artificial feed. Chickens need food containing 12% crude protein and 2500 kcal / kg of energy. Here's how to make chicken feed:

- Feed for chickens aged 0-2 months can use broiler chicken feed. For 2-4 months old chicken can be fed broiler feed mixed with bran and corn with a ratio of 1: 3: 1.

- For chickens with age above 4 months, can be given a mixture of layer and bran or corn with a ratio of 1: 2. Give also forage 20% of feed requirement. Needs feed about 7-8 grams per day, can be given 2-3 times a day.

- For chickens entering the spawning period, usually age more than 6 months, give the feed in the form of mixture of layer and bran with ratio 1: 1. And add forage as much as 25% of feed requirement. The feed requirement for this period is 85 grams per day, can be given 2-3 times a day.

- If you do not want to buy feed manufacturer, can be made feed from alternative sources. Here are the ingredients that can be used for chicken livestock: taro (tubers and leaves), the cheapest rice, bran, bone meal or snail shell. How to make it see tips below.

- As additional feed can be found the remnants of household food or restaurant or leftover food processing such as tofu dregs.

- Grounds that are left and groomed to grow forage also help provide additional feed for the chicken.

Tips to make feed from yam taro ( Dayat Suryana 2013 ) Chop 1 kg of taro or taro leaves with a size of 0.5 cm, then mix with 0.5 kg of rice and 0.5 kg bekatul and add 1 spoon of bone meal or flour snail shells then in cooking as we cook rice.

Harvest period and sales process

Village chicken is the type can be harvested by harvesting eggs or even chicken, the price on offer from both sides equally profitable and relatively have a pretty good price than the other types of chickens can be consumed in the village at the age of 8 months. If the price at that time, does not attract the breeder can wait until the age of 12 months or more. Chicken can be directed to be taken only eggs. Except for eggs, if the eggs produced infertil must remain sold because it will rot. However, if the eggs are fertil or hatching, the farmer can delay selling them and the eggs can continue to be covered by chicken breeders and hatched.

This livestock chicken breeding can be done gradually to optimize the production for maximum results, so some reviews of chicken cattle hopefully can be a reference material for raising chicken village.
