• Customer require more bird places
• Customer offers a financial incentive for new
building programme, not a contracted sum
• Improved bird welfare
• Improved bird quality/ uniformity/ consistency
• Improved environmental controls
Customer Driven Investment

Half Way There?

Current Farming Operations • Own 180,000 bird places
• Rent 115,000 bird places
• Building 335,000 bird places share farming
• Supervise for the bank 160,000 bird places

To do all that means staff (Currently 30, growing 1 man extra/month)

Practical Broiler Efficiency • All about EFFICIENCY & maximising genetic
potential of the bird
• Main factor food conversion
• Mortality early on has minimal impact
• Late issues (legs or mortality) big impact
• Every 1g at 7 day = 9g at 28 days
• Technology can be used to optimise genetic
potential

Improving FCR – Feed Manangement
• Can be as simple as not running out of feed
• Ensure sufficient feed bin space
• Monitor consumption tightly to predict any tight spots
• Record shed feed usage (batch weighers, etc)
• Alarm feed systems to ensure breakdowns minimise starvation periods
![Page 15: David speller](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052301/5562f15fd8b42a213b8b50c2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Cleanout / Disinfection
• We take our time
• All areas cleaned including canteen and toilets
• We use the right products and rotate products
• Orchard sprayer used to improve coverage/ efficacy
• We chemically treat floors for Cocci every time
![Page 17: David speller](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052301/5562f15fd8b42a213b8b50c2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Brooding / Early Environment
• UFH – warm floors across whole shed
• Indirect heating reduces CO2
• Manage airflows, especially with
indirect heaters that may be on for
longer.
• Humidity is free heat (5% RH = 1oC)

Managing 12-22 day period
• Crumb to pellet change over
• Increasing ventilation
• Vaccination
• Feathering up
• Remote cameras help access behaviour
• Good data used as a management tool

Monitor Activity
• Activity levels indicate welfare/ potential performance
• Visual and sound used
• Part of an EU project (Precision Livestock Farming)
• Ensure feeder and drinker facilities can cope (Eyenamics suggest inconsistent demands)
![Page 30: David speller](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052301/5562f15fd8b42a213b8b50c2/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Aims From Eyenamics •Monitor distribution of birds around the sheds and ensure even access to food, water, etc •Link data to a welfare score/ Prove welfare •Link behaviour trends with performance to ensure consistent good performance •Look for activity trends and adjust food and water access to meet demands •Monitor consistently and in a quantitative way that can be recorded and monitored

Conclusion
• It is essential to have good genetics to
maximise efficiency potentials
• You also need good facilities, good feed
and water and good management skills
