(5) FINISHING OF BROILERS


After a successful completion of the brooding stage/phase at 4 weeks, the finisher mash should be introduced gradually mixed with the starter mash for at least 1 week, before the birds can be given finisher mash alone. Remember to de-worm the birds before every change of feed is done. The cellophane or any covering used during brooding stage/period should be completely removed sol as to provide enough ventilation for birds. The floor space should also be increased to give enough space for the birds.
The Drinkers should be raised on cement blocks or any suitable material and the feeders should also be raised by hanging with ropes. The use of heat is not allowed at this stage, rather enough light should be made available enable the birds to feed b both day and night.
