:eneral Comments<

During the stages o% $roduction the chic!ens were alwa&s well %ed and water readil& aailable-

this ensured a the brood was !e$t health&. Due to un%ortunate circu*stances *an&

Conclusion<

A $ro%it was obtained %ro* the $roduction o% oultr&. Good agricultural $ractices were adhered

to $roducing a brood o% chic!ens which had *inor loss. Resources were used e%%ectiel& and .

10 chic!s were bought but onl& 104 suried due to 13 birds su%%ering %ro* a li!el& cardiac

arrest which could not be $reented. 104. /he& were bought at 895 $er chic! and sold at 8145 $er lb &ielding a $ro%it o% ;1.>.

=ecommendations<

"hic!ens should be housed under conditions in which natural ele*ents such as

te*$erature dont a%%ect the* as *uch.

A nurser& should be set u$ %or ill chic!ens where the& are %ed this could aoid casualties

as so*eti*es ill chic!ens are tra*$led u$on b& bigger healthier ones and the& dont

obtain %ood so the& die.

(eed and water should be readil& aailable

(eed an should be regularl& raised to encourage growth and stretching o% chic!en nec!s.
