Broiler breeder cost is almost 250-260 Rs(less price nowadays) Layer breeder cost is almost 550-600Rs Different breeds at different times..

- 16. Empty setters present in egg room
- 17. Setters were of petersime company. One trolley is having 32 trays. 16 on one side & 16 on other side of the trolley.
- 18. One tray is having capacity of 160 eggs. Total trays in one trolley are 32. So total no. of eggs that can be placed in ane trolley are 160 *32=5120 eggs in one trolley.
- 20. Setter room
- 21. Two types of petersime machines are Digital Analogue This is of analogue type.
- 22. Tilting of trays within setter: Manual tilting was done by THEM. Normally a machine tilt the trays after every one hour which is sufficient. Tilting is done to avoid sticking of embryo with the wall of egg shell.
- 26. Eggs set in setter trays
- 27. Can you see the empty spaces within trays…….? If you noticed them than the reason behind it is……. These empty spaces indicate that the infertile eggs are removed from these trays after candling.
- 28. In this hatchery candling is done at day 11 in layer breeder flock While in broiler breeder flock candling is done at 13day. According to managers statement only once he touches upto 95% hatchability. Usually the hatchability of broiler GP range is 92- 93%.
- 29. While the hatchabilityof layer GP is maximally 94%(only once touches 95%). The hatchability of last three flocks were • 68.54% • 70.39% • 61.05%
- 30. When shifting from setter to hatcher one egg loses almost 12-14% its weight due to moisture loss. So an egg of 55g after losing 14% of its weight becomes of 47.3g. 14/100*55=7.7 55-7.7=47.3g

Two trays/chick boxes are placed on either side of this tray seen in this picture.(here they use chick boxes) After sexing males are dropped in left side chick box. Females are dropped in right sided chick box.
- 50. Feather sexing method: Specific types of breeds are prepared for this purpose. Females are having fast feathering so upper & lower feathers are almost equal in size. On the other hand males are having slow featheing so upper & lower feathers have different sizes. It is quick & easy method of sexing.
