Srinidhi Dual purpose PDR, Hyderabad High egg producer under farm as well as backyard condition Housing requirement: The main objective of housing should be to protect the birds from cold, rains, heat, strong winds, adverse weather & predators. A poultry house should have easy access to the connecting main road. House should be well ventilated, solid walls and only raised 3ft. high from ground and chicken wire fitted up to the roping base to avoid direct wind droughts into poultry house. House should be designed which allow maximum natural light which is important in regulation of laying pattern. The foraging area can be constructed entirely of poles and chicken wire on walls & roof. Some open area in the form of plant and grasses which provide the green forage to the birds should be developed near to poultry house. Green forage improve the yellow egg yolk quality in the birds and running during foraging in lawn area helps in control external parasites in birds as well as acting as natural disinfectant for pathogens/ germs. In organic production system a adult laying bird should be provided a space of minimum 2ft./ bird in the confined and 3ft./ bird as foraging area i.e. 5 sq.ft./ bird. The litter/ bedding material must be kept dry at all times by removing the wet and caked litter. Sufficient feeding and watering space (4-5 cm/ bird for feeding and 3-4 cm/ bird for watering) should be provided to the birds to reduce number of competitions among birds. Adequate provision of feeding and watering equipments at the optimum ratio per number of birds should be kept in poultry house unit. A laying nest sized 15x10x10 inches should be provided for 10 laying birds in the poultry unit. Feeding: Feed & feeding is an important factor in the whole operation & contribute as about 60-70% of total recurring expenses. Poultry birds reared in organic system of poultry farming must be fed a diet that contains a minimum of 60% certified organic feed. Not more than 20% feed should come from non-organic feed. Organically reared birds need 20-30% more feed per unit of weight gain than conventional reared birds, mainly because of increased activity in the run. Scattering grains & providing roughages is a good way of keeping the hens busy and healthy. However, if feeding a compounded diet, the nutrient content of the scatter grain will affect the overall nutrient intake of the birds & could feed to imbalances. The average feed consumption in organic production system for layer and broiler birds are 130 gm and 85 gm per bird, respectively which is higher (118 and 77 gm per bird) than conventional production system. In organic poultry production, birds should be reared only for one laying season. Health Management: As prevention is better than cure but it is important to note that animals raised in an organic system be treated with antibiotics, if they become infected with a disease for which a no-antibiotic treatment is not available or has not been effective. Unfortunately, birds treated with antibiotics can no longer be marketed as organic. So it is important to find out some alternative treatment methods for common poultry ailments. In this context some points may be beneficial regarding the alternative methods of treatment of reared in organic production system poultry birds. • Currently the rules for organic animal husbandry do allow routine vaccination where there is an obvious need and other methods of treatment can be regarded as less acceptable, but vaccines manufactured by the use of genetically modified organism should not be used in organic farming. • Generally routine use of antibiotics is not allowed in organic farming some drugs like anti-coccidials used to prevent outbreak of parasitic diseases coccidiosis, cannot be used routinely like in conventional poultry production. • A probiotic is a culture of single bacteria strain or a mixture of different strains that can be used to an animal or bird to improve some aspects of their health. A verity of different types of bacteria or undefined culture has been tested as probiotics in poultry. The results showed that feeding of probiotics to poultry may change their gut micro flora in a way that is beneficial to the health of the birds reducing the number of food borne pathogens carried by the birds. • Prebiotics are non-digestible carbohydrates and many of them may be used for improving the health status of poultry birds. • Some organic acids can be used as a tool to reduce unwanted bacteria during organic poultry production. In some cases acids were used through drinking water where as in others they were added in the feed. • Various plant extracts especially essential oils have been tested for their anti-microbial abilities. The results of a study conducted on the essential oil of black pepper showed that the essential oil of black pepper have slight inhibitory activity against E.coli, Salmonella pullorum and Clostridium sporogenes. Some of them like, essential oil of cinnamon, pepper, garlic oil, etc found beneficial for improve some aspects of digestibility of poultry birds. The above probiotics, prebiotics and plant extracts can be used in organic poultry farming to improve the growth and health status of poultry birds as an alternate source of antibiotics. 112 <strong>November</strong>, <strong>2018</strong>
