Heat
3 Zones-• 100 degrees directly under the brooder• 95 degrees at the edge of the brooder• 88-85 degrees at the edge of the brooder
facility***Over heating can stunt birds causing them
to never reach their full potential.***

88-85 degrees
95 degrees
100 degrees
Do not dump the birds directly under the heat. - lactic acid built up can cause birds just
dumped to become dehydrated and weak

Ventilation
5 main points-Work with the heat2 fan stages preferableHi/Low for first stageCorrect size inlets and shuttersNo dead spots

Water spacing & placingSpacing:0-3 weeks - the more the better- Nipples or mini drinkers
increased space the first week
3-6 weeks .1 sq. ft per bird- if started on nipples, they need to be transitioned to open waters
Placing:- just outside the edge of the
heat ring (control temperature of water)
- Near feed source

Using Chlorine in the drinking water can help keep bacteria from playing a large role in the brooder barns

Feeder spacing and placingPlacing: Place at the edge of the heat
source Place near water source
Fill the room
Use coccidiostat and higher protein with correct pellet size
Spacing: 0-3 weeks
-the more the better-suggest using supplemental feeders for increased availability the first week
3-6 weeks .5 sq. ft per bird

Bedding Quality• Correct bedding
- woodchips, straw, etc• Processing of bedding
- kiln dried woodshavings- no rain on straw
• Keep dampness & mold away -Stalosan F-Mold Guard-Air movement

React as fast as possible to mistakes or problem situations.
Guard against asper and other molds in a proactive manner
Birds on damp bedding can get chilled and develop hypothermia
Fog your buildings

Lighting Technique
• Stimulating activity helps lower mortality and aggression
• Better feed conversion with certain lighting techniques
• Hold the birds near the brooders

ControlsParagon timer Automatically turns lights on/off
Helps activate the birds
Dimmer switch Allows different light intensity
Keeps aggressiveness down
Override timer Allows for human error
