Practical Stockmanship
If only farm records (growth, feed consumption, etc) are monitored, important signals from the birds and
their environment will be missed. Using all the senses, the stockman must build-up an awareness of the
environment, the birds' experience, and an understanding of what the normal behavioral characteristics of
the flock are. This information should be continuously analyzed (in conjunction with the farm records) to
allow any shortfalls in the birds' condition and/or environment to be rapidly identified and corrected.
The body-weight and FCR targets at a given age are usually the same across flocks, but each individual
flock will have slightly differing management requirements to achieve those targets. To understand the
individual management requirements of a flock and to be able to respond to each flock appropriately, the
stockman must know and also sense what is normal for the flock.
The flock environment and behavior should be observed at various times of the day by the same person.
This observation should be done at any time day-to-day management activities are completed in the house,
but importantly, some specific inspections just to monitor flock behavior should be also made.
Before entering the house, be aware of the time and ambient climatic conditions. This will help you anticipate
how the fans, heaters, cool cells, and inlets should be operating when compared to the systems set points.
Upon entry to the house, gently knock on and gradually open the door. As you enter the house ask yourself
the following question.
