Question

(i) In what way broilers’ feed is different from layers’? (ii) Which one of these mature earlier? (iii) What type of shelter is provided to them?​

Answer 1

(i)

Broilers

• Broilers are reared for meat production

• They grow at a faster rate

• They require more feed for growth

• They require high protein and vitamin rich diet

• They can be used for meat productions after 6-8 weeks from birth

• Example:White Plymouth Rock, Cornish White

Layers

• Layers are reared for egg production

• They grow at a slower rate as compared to broilers

• They require less amount of feed

• They are given health diet with more amount of proteins and roughage

• They are used after they attain sexual maturity, that is, after 20 weeks from birth  

• Example: Rhode Island Red, White Leghorn

(ii) Broilers attain maturity earlier than layers.

(iii) The broilers may be raised on deep litter, in cages or in batteries with slatted or wire floor system. Deep litter system of housing is the most widely used system for broilers.

Layers are reared on deep litter floors, in cages or on different kinds of floors at different ages. Deep litter floor rearing involves rearing egg-type chicks or birds on any one of the preferred litter materials (paddy husks, groundnut hulls, wood shavings, etc.) spread on the floor. Cages of different sizes with different sized meshes need to be fabricated for rearing layer chickens of different ages.
