General Management & Start-Up

Partial House Brooding

I t is recommended that the power uni t end of the house be used for the broodingarea. This helps avoid any sect ion of the system running dry. A lso, In termediateContro ls are not needed in th is s i tuat ion. Houses over 400’ (122 m) should bespl i t in the center , a l lowing e i ther end to be used for par t ia l house brooding.

I f par t ia l house brooding is requi red, the In termediate Contro l is avai lab le.

Wi th the recommended toggle swi tch wi red in to the system, the feeder l ine canbe changed f rom fu l l house brooding to par t ia l house brooding wi th the f l ip o f aswi tch.

Mainta in a lower feed level in the In termediate Contro l than in the rest o f thefeeders. This wi l l cause the Intermediate Contro l Pan to empty more of ten, there-by s tar t ing the feeder l ine before the other pans become empty.

Do not h inder the b i rd movement around the In termediate Contro l pan. Locatethe cur ta in or par t i t ion severa l pans away f rom the Intermediate Contro l pan.

Prov ide adequate l ight ing so that the b i rds wi l l not shy away f rom the In termedi -ate Contro l area.


Electro-guard Operation

Elect ro-guard cables should be t ight to prevent sagging onto the feeder andshor t ing out . T ight cables a lso help keep pans in l ine on the tube.

The feeding equipment must be grounded through the power uni t wi r ing or aseparate ground wire for the e lect ro-guard to work proper ly .

Elect ro-guard chargers should be operated on a separate c i rcu i t so the an-t i - roost system can be d isconnected us ing a swi tch at the door when someoneenters the pen. Bi rds are less l ike ly to become wi ld and f l ighty i f the e lec-t ro-guard can be d isconnected when people are in the house.

Start-Up Information

Operate the equipment , i f poss ib le, before b i rds are housed to check insta l la-t ion, swi tch operat ion, and f i l l the feeder l ines wi th feed.

The o i l coat ing on new auger wi l l cause the auger to del iver feed at a s lowerrate. To reduce the load on the motor whi le the equipment is be ing broken in ,auger 50 pound (20 kg) increments of feed out to the pans. A l low the systemto run for approx imate ly 30 seconds, then add another 50 pounds (20 kg) offeed. Repeat th is procedure unt i l feed has been suppl ied to a l l the pans.

Bi rds avoid dark or co ld areas. Do not locate a contro l un i t or in termediatecontro l in such an area. A lso, do not locate the Contro l Uni t c lose to the endof the bui ld ing. Al low a min imum of 10 feet (3 m) between the Contro l Uni t andthe bui ld ing wal l . I f these problems are ant ic ipated, they can be avoided dur-ing insta l la t ion. Later , ar t i f ic ia l l ight ing can par t ia l ly correct the problem.

Dur ing the f i rs t 5 days the system should be run manual ly wi th the feeder pansset t ing on the f loor .

I f the system accidenta l ly runs out of feed and b i rds are wi thout feed for somet ime, care must be taken when the pans are re f i l led.

Feed hoppers can be f i l led pr ior to s tar t ing the feeder l ines to g ive the f i l lsystem a head star t .

When feeders are turned on, i t may be necessary to walk up and down thel ines to scat ter large groups of b i rds as they rush to the feeders.

I t may be desi rable to ra ise the feeder l ine so b i rds cannot reach i t , f i l l a l lthe pans, then carefu l ly lower the l ine.

When b i rds are removed, a l l the remain ing feed in the hoppers and the feederpans must be removed. I f poss ib le, a l low the b i rds to c lean up feed pr ior tothei r removal .

Feeder Management

General Operation of the Model C Feeder

These recommendations are guidelines to aid producers in developing afeeding program. Many factors such as feed content, type of bird, etc.may dictate change from these recommendations.

Star t young b i rds on the feeder wi th the pans rest ing on the f loor . Asthe b i rds grow, ra ise the feeder l ine.

Keeping the pans at the proper height prevents b i rds f rom rak ing feedexcessive ly . For addi t ional in format ion on pan height ad justment referto the d iagram on page 20 in th is manual .

When f i l l ing the pans for young brooding b i rds, operate the feeder ,then walk a long the l ine l i f t ing the Feed Level Tubes in each pan to a l -low feed to spread to the edges of the pan. Dur ing the f i rs t couple days,the pans may be f i l led manual ly .

For ch ickens, begin wi th the Feed Level Tube/Ring Assembly in thef i f th adjustment f rom the bot tom. The "V" bot tom pan a l lows 3/4" to 1"(20 to 25 mm) feed depth, measured f rom the deepest par t o f the pans.I f b i rds are severe ly debeaked the feed level may need to be increasedby adjust ing the Feed Level Tubes. I f the Model C Feeder is to be usedto feed turkeys, the 4329 Feed Level Tube is requi red.

General Operation of the Model C2 and Model G Feeders

These recommendations are guidelines to aid producers in developing afeeding program. Many factors such as feed content, type of bird, etc.may dictate change from these recommendations.

Star t young b i rds wi th the feeder pans rest ing on the f loor . The ModelC2 has the abi l i ty to f i l l the feeders whi le set t ing on the f loor or sus-pended. Wi th the feed windows open, feed wi l l sp i l l out in the pan, mak-ing i t eas ier for the b i rds to f ind feed, adapt to the feeder , and begin toeat . Make sure a l l the feed windows are in the same posi t ion, OPEN orCLOSED.

Raise the feeder as the b i rds grow. This wi l l automat ica l ly c lose thefeed windows, un less they are locked open. Chore-Time recommendsopening the feed windows in the pans for the f i rs t 5 to 10 days, forbro i lers . Open the feed windows in the pans for the f i rs t 10 to 14 days,for turkeys.

General Operation of the Model H2 Feeder

These recommendations are guidelines to aid producers in developing a feeding pro-gram. Many factors such as feed content, type of bird, etc. may dictate change from theserecommendations.

For feeders wi th F lood Col lars ;

When prepar ing the house for baby chicks, p lace paper under the feeder l ines thatare in the brood end of the house. The feed windows should be open to a l low thefeeder to f lood. The feed that over f lows the pan onto the paper wi l l d i rect the b i rdsto the feeder . P lace addi t ional feed t rays in the brood end of the house.

Dur ing the f i rs t 5 days the feeder is to be operated once a day. Brood young b i rdson the feeder wi th the pans rest ing on the f loor .

Bro i lers : At 4 to 5 days, c lose the Flood Col lars and ra ise the feeder pans just o f fthe l i t ter .

Set the Struts in the #2 set t ing for poul t ry or the #4 set t ing for turkeys.

For feeders wi th Feed Chutes;

Set the Struts in the #2 set t ing for poul t ry or the #4 set t ing for turkeys.

When prepar ing the house for poul ts or ch icks, set the chutes in the brood posi t ion.Place addi t ional feed t rays in the brood end of the house.

Dur ing the f i rs t 5 days the feeder is to be operated twice or three t imes a day. Broodyoung b i rds on the feeder wi th the pans rest ing on the f loor .

Bro i lers : At 8 to 12 days, c lose the Feed Chutes.

Turkeys: At 10 to 14 days, c lose the Feed Chutes.

Set the Struts in the #2 set t ing for poul t ry orthe #4 set t ing for turkeys.

For feeders wi thout Feed Windows;

Set the Struts in the #2 set t ing for poul t ry orthe #4 set t ing for turkeys.

The feeder should be ra ised just enough toc lear the l i t ter . As b i rds grow, ra ise the feed-er accord ingly . Normal ly , the l ip of the panshould be at the height that the b i rds breastenter the neck. Keeping the pans up at theproper height prevents the b i rds f rom rak ingthe feed excessive ly .

At 3 weeks of age, begin meal feeding thebi rds, i f des i red. Fol low the char t in th is in-s t ruct ion manual to set up t ime c lock. Ad-just the dai ly run t imes through-out the l i feof the b i rds on a weekly basis . Addi t ional ad-justment may be requi red to su i t the feedand the b i rds. Refer to the Genera l Manage-ment Recommendat ions for Meal -T imeFeeding on page 53, o f th is manual .

Because of var ia t ion in feed texture, fa t con-tent , type of b i rds and other var iab les, theoperator must learn what works best for h iss i tuat ion by exper ience. A combinat ion ofproper pan height , feeder pan adjustment ,and t ime c lock operat ion, wi l l resul t in opt i -mum feeder per formance.

After the birds are through thebrood stage, the lip of the panshould be at the approximate heightthe bird’s neck enters the breast.Proper pan height reduces feedwastage, improves feed conver-sion, and provides more income forthe producer. Note the proper panheight shown, above.

Suspension SystemThe feeder l ine suspension system is a v i ta l par t o f your feeding system.Proper p lanning and insta l la t ion is necessary to insure proper operat ionof the system.

The suspension system is the same for the Model C, C2, G, and H2 Feed-ers. The type of insta l la t ion requi red depends on feeder l ine length. F ig-ure 29, on page 28, shows the suspension system for feeder l ine lengthsto 350’ (107 m). F igure 30, on page 29, shows the suspension system forfeeder l ines over 350’ (107 m).

IMPORTANT: Specia l suppor t is requi red at each Power Uni t and Hopperlocat ion. F igures 29 and 30 show the addit ional suspension requi red atthese locat ions.

• Power Uni t locat ions: The feeder l ine must be suppor ted wi th in 3feet (1 m) of the Power Uni t . This is in addi t ion to the requi red PowerUni t suspension. I f the Contro l Uni t does not come out d i rect ly undera t russ, fasten a pul ley to a 2x8 (50x200 mm) board that wi l l span 2t russes to suppor t the Contro l Uni t .

• Feed Hopper locat ions: The feeder l ine must be suppor ted wi th in 1foot (30 cm) of the Feed Hopper . This is in addi t ion to the requi redFeed Hopper suspension.

Af ter determin ing the type of suspension system requi red, dec ide wherethe feeder l ine is to be insta l led. Mark a s t ra ight l ine on the cei l ing orraf ters the fu l l length of the feeder l ine. Use a s t r ing, chalk l ine, or thewinch cable, temporar i ly a t tached wi th s taples, to mark the l ine. Centerthe l ine d i rect ly over where the feeder is to be insta l led.

The recommended d is tance between the drops for the Model C, C2, G,and H2 is 8 ’ (2 .4 m) on center . Do not exceed 10’ (3 m) spacing on dropl ines.

I f the d is tance ra ised is greater than the d is tance between the drop spac-ings, o f fset the hooks 3" (75 mm) to each s ide of the l ine to prevent thecable c lamps f rom catch ing the pul leys. See F igure 31.

Indexing the Feeder LineThe Rol l Formed Tube can be indexed us ing the mark ings on the bel ledend of each tube as shown in F igure 67.

Note: This form of indexing is approx imate and a l lows the grower toprov ide a moderate amount of un i formi ty in feed drop out .

1. I f fu l l feed dropout is des i red at a l l out le ts , a l l the tubes should beposi t ioned so the "CONT" mark ing on the tube is at the crown or topof a l l tubes in the l ine. For par t ia l house brooding us ing the Inter-mediate Contro l Uni t , a l l tubes should be set in th is pos i t ion.

Model H2 systems should a lways be set on the "CONT" mark.

2. I f some feed carry over is des i red, the tubes can be indexed so thatout le ts at the hopper end of the l ine receive par t ia l dropout , and fu l ldropout occurs at the contro l un i t end of the l ine. This is especia l lyusefu l on longer feeder l ines.

To index the tubes:

A. Star t a t the hopper .

B. Posi t ion the feeder tubes in the f i rs t 1 /4 of the l ine so that "HOP"set t ing is p laced at the top of the tube.

C. The second quar ter o f the l ine should be indexed wi th "QTR"mark ing at the crown of the tube.

D. Index the th i rd quar ter so that the "HALF" is pos i t ioned at the topof the feeder tube.

E. The last quar ter o f the l ine (contro l un i t end) should be indexedwi th "CONT" marked at the top of the tube. This a l lows completedropout in th is por t ion of the feeder l ine.

Meal-Time Feeding GuidelinesChore-Time Programmed Meal-T ime Feeding is recommended for usewi th Model C, C2, G and H2 Feeders. Basica l ly , i t means the b i rds arefed meals and are a l lowed to c lean up the feed between meals . Thisst imulates appet i te , reduces prote in excret ion, and, when combinedwi th good poul t ry management , can y ie ld a heavier b i rd wi th improvedfeed convers ion.

Chore-Time Programmed Meal-T ime Feeding does not l imi t or rest r ic tfeed. Only the numbers and lengths of feedings per days are regulated- not the amount o f feed.

Based on work ing exper ience, Chore-Time has set down the fo l lowingguidel ines. Chore-Time emphasizes that these are GUIDELINES. Ind i -v idual s i tuat ions wi l l requi re moni tor ing and judgment to determinebest per formance on the Chore-T ime Programmed Meal -T ime Feedingsys tem.

1. Star t b i rds wi th pans on the f loor . Empty the Contro l Uni t pan sev-era l t imes a day so the feeder wi l l run. The sound of the feeder wi l la ler t the b i rds and they wi l l use the pans more quick ly .

2. Model C2, G, and H2 only : Set the Feed Windows in open or broodposi t ion to begin feeder operat ion.

Model C only : Set the Feed Level Tube at the f i f th ho le f rom the bot-tom, for both crumbles and pel le ted feeds.

3. Adjust the feeder height weekly . At 3 weeks, the feeder should behigh enough so that b i rds wi l l not s tand wi th one foot on pan l ip butst i l l w i l l be able to reach feed.

4. At three weeks, begin the Meal -T ime Feeding Program. The fo l low-ing is an example of a Meal-T ime program.

Birds should be fed 4 meals per day - a t 7 A.M./ a t 1 P.M./ a t 7 P.M./ and at 1 A.M.

Try to be present dur ing the feedings. Use the "Running T ime" char ton th is page as a guide for determin ing length of running cyc les.

5. Af ter the Chore-Time Programmed Meal-T ime Feeding is begun, de-termine whether running t imes need to be adjusted. Remember:

3 TO 4 15 MIN. 30 MIN. 45 MIN. 1 HOUR 1 HOUR & 15 MIN.

4 TO 5 30 MIN. 45 MIN. 1 HOUR 1 HOUR & 15 MIN. 1 HOUR & 30 MIN.

2. Determine the length of the feeder l ines.

3. On the char t , us ing i tems determined in s teps 1 and 2, f ind guidel ines for running t imesPER MEAL, in hours and minutes.


ONLY LENGTHEN OR SHORTEN RUNNING TIMES. DO NOT DEVI-ATE FROM 4 FEEDINGS PER DAY.

The b iggest cause of operator concern is usual ly when b i rds arewi thout feed. I f you are managing th is concept for best resul ts , thebi rds wi l l be wi thout feed. Th is maybe for as long as 2 hours de-pending on energy content of the feed.

6. Adjust running t ime weekly . The adjustment should be made on thesame day each week. I t may be convenient to adjust the feederheight at the same t ime.

7. At the end of the grow-out cyc le, a l low the b i rds to c lean up feed inthe pans. This wi l l fur ther reduce feed waste and ref lect in good f i -na l resul ts .

Fol lowing Chore-T ime Programmed Meal -T ime Feeding improves re-su l ts and min imizes labor , energy usage, and wear on equipment whi lereducing feed cost per pound of ga in and improved feed convers ion.
