Before eggs could turn to chicks or the process of hatching eggs involve so many factors, this means that, some factors must be considered in other to have a successful hatching process. There are variations in eggshell temperature and this has to be monitored by temperature sensors. Findings have revealed that attaching temperature sensors to eggshells is a precise tool for monitoring the hatch time of individual chicks

The purpose of broiler management is to provide a proper condition that can ensure the optimum performance of the birds. Given reasonable conditions, brooding hens are very successful at hatching their chicks, but good hatch ability using artificial incubation (both large and small) relies on careful management of temperature, humidity, ventilation, position and egg turning

The vices of poultry is a faulty bad behavior which is acquired by the chickens, which affects the health, well-being, behavior and performance of oneself as well as other animals of the group. These vices may incur a huge loss to the poultry farmer, especially in intensive systems, which are more common today. Once developed it quickly spreads throughout the flock and then the eradication becomes a substantial problem. Some of the vices have their origin in poor management, housing while some are nutritional

The galvanized poultry cage is the inseparable way and equipment for the breeding of egg broilers in the modern chicken industry. It is also the basic equipment for automatic breeding and large-scale breeding of large and medium-sized chicken farms. The use of galvanized poultry cage equipment has become a trend and direction for the modern chicken industry

Environmental factors are generally recognized to have a major impact on raising chicken in the production of meat and eggs from poultry. These include temperature, humidity, light (length of day and intensity), altitude (air pressure and partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide), wind velocity (air movement), solar energy, quality of air and water, and density of population, during the last decade, the influence of environmental factors on poultry have received greater attention so that more reliable baseline values are available Most studies have dealt with only one environmental factor—with other factors presumably held constant. Yet, we recognize that in husbandry practices, be it in- or outdoors, poultry are subjected to a multiple of factors, none held completely constant, and all interrelated

Management is the process of dealing with or controlling things or people with the aim of getting substantial results. Achieving good bird, barn and gut health requires operational excellence and attention to detail. A combination of quality nutrition, veterinary guidance, and increased consideration of barn and bird management will help to ensure birds have the best possible chance to perform at their maximum potentials

Poultry farm equipment's are devices that aid in accomplishing tasks around the farm. They are instruments or apparatus used in performing operations around the farm such activities include incubation, hatching and brooding. It would be out of thought in this dispensation to want to carry out most tasks on the farm by manual labour

Lighting is one of the most essential things in a poultry farm. It is necessary for the development and functioning of reproductive system and growth. It is a powerful exogenous factor in control of many physiological and behavioral processes. Cold Cathode and Fluorescent bulbs are mostly used as light and it affected by variables like lamp type, reflectance of the floor, walls, ceiling and height intensity of affect. Incandescent or fluorescent lights may be used

Biosecurity is a system practiced by the poultry farmers to prevent the spread of diseases in the poultry farm or pen. It is accomplished by maintaining a system in such a way that there is minimal traffic of biological organisms (viruses, bacteria, rodents etc.) Across the borders of your farm

Hatched chicks should be active, uniform in size and healthy. Although newly hatched chicks can survive on their own body reserves for up to 72 hours, depending on environmental conditions, their survival is increased if they are provided with food and water within 24 hours of hatching. The sooner they are provided with these and a warm area, the higher the rate of survival. Chicks must not be chilled or overheated at any time

The economical growing of chickens starts from the correct and adequate design of the building, appropriate breed and the environment of the location. The designs of the poultry house for hens or broilers in some countries are not always based on engineering and scientific foundation, but on some incorrect information, and practices or lack of accurate information. For these reasons and others there is a high mortality rate

Brooding of chicks is easy, with little or less pieces of equipment and a small place to put them, success in brooding and is virtually assured. During this period of the chicken's life, the most important needs are for warmth, protection, feed, and water. When growing chicks of any species like layers and broilers or almost any other bird production each of these aspects must be considered
