2. Broiler Farming
At commercial level
Open shed
Control Sheds

3. Openshed vs Controlshed
Control shedOpen shed
Most of the things are automatic.Every thing manual
Construction cost very much high.Construction cost very low
Production satisfiedProduction not satisfied

4. Open Shed
• Every thing manually
• i.e Feeding , Watering
Vaccination etc.
• Tem in open shed
difficult to maintain.
• RH also not retain
according to our
requirement.

5. Open shed
Disadvantages
Because management not
under our control so
• Production low
• FCR low
• Body wt vary from bird
to bird
• High labour cost
• At the end not satisfy
farmer

6. Open shed
Advantages
• Low construction &
Running expenses
(electricity , diesel etc.)
• Birds are more resistant
to diseases then
control shed.

7. Control shed
Advantages
• Almost Every thing auto
control
(feeding , watering , may
be vaccines, Tem , RH ,
Ventilation , etc.)
• Low labour cost
• Wt gain high
• FCR high

8. Control shed
Disadvantages
• Construction cost high
• Running cost high
• Less immune birds then
open shed

controlled

29. • Water in water lines &
drink through nipples
some time also use
baby drinkers early days
