Closed-house Chicken Barn




Cleaning @ 1:50 dilution (20ml to 1-litre water)
1.    Clean the chicken barn thoroughly with EMAS,
this way, water drained out of the barn is treated and will not attract flies and pathogens;
2.    Let dry about 2days;
3.    Spread wood shaving on floor, and mist the barn with EMAS;
4.    Chicks should be ready to be brought in the next day;
5.    On the 5th ,10th , and 15th day, turn the wood shaving over after morning feed, and immediately spray the barn (spraying in the afternoon can increase heat in the barn);
6.    After 15th day, turning wood shaving and spraying with EMAS must be done every 2days to maintain ammonia at low level to help maintain health; that is, day 17th, 19th, 21st, 23rd, until harvesting of chickens.

Note:
A.    Highly recommended to use 400ml EMAS diluted with 20-litres water for every 3,000sq.ft
B.    High levels of ammonia can
i.      burn the feet & chest, and blind the chickens;
ii.     cause breathing problems to the workers when feeding the chickens;
iii.    cause for attracting flies; and
iv.   cause for pathogens in the barn which can kill the chickens.














Feeding:
1.    Introduce EM-1® in the drink with 1:3,000 ratio (1ml EM-1® to 3-litre water) for 3 consecutive days during the first 2weeks; that is, day 3,4,5 and 10,11,12;
2.    Increase to 1:1,000 by the 3rd week (1ml EM-1® to 1-litre water) on day 17,18,19 – 24,25,26 – 30,31,32, until harvest;
3.    Where available, add between 1% - 5% EM® Ricebran Bokashi in feed (500gm to 2,500gm for every 50kg bag of feed) on days when EM-1® is not included in drink.

Note:
Introducing EM® in the food and drink can help
i.      cleanse the digestive system;
ii.     the body absorb nutrients; and
iii.    increase immune system for health of chicken.

Ø  A well-managed & clean farm can help develop good neighbour relations, and healthy animals
Ø  By including EM® in their feed can help improve Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), which means chickens can attain an average weight of 2kg around 33-34days instead of 36days.
