2. Optimal Housing and Environment: Design broiler houses that provide adequate space, ventilation, temperature control, and lighting. A comfortable and stress-free environment promotes healthy growth, efficient feed conversion, and reduced mortality rates.

3. Nutrition Management: Develop a nutritionally balanced diet tailored to meet the specific requirements of broilers at different growth stages. Provide optimal levels of protein, energy, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids for rapid growth and muscle development.

4. Water Quality and Availability: Ensure continuous access to clean and fresh water for broilers. Water quality directly affects digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall health. Regularly monitor water sources, cleanliness, and availability to support optimal performance.

5. Disease Prevention and Biosecurity: Implement strict biosecurity measures to prevent the introduction and spread of diseases. Vaccinate broilers as per schedule, maintain hygiene in housing facilities, control pests, and limit visitors to minimize disease risks.

6. Optimized Lighting Programs: Implement appropriate lighting programs to stimulate growth, activity, and feed intake in broilers. Gradually adjust lighting schedules to mimic natural daylight cycles, promoting healthy circadian rhythms and optimal performance.

7. Feeding Management: Monitor feed consumption, adjust feeding programs as needed, and ensure consistent access to feed throughout the day. Proper feeding management supports efficient growth, uniformity, and desired carcass quality.

8. Waste Management: Develop efficient waste management systems to handle litter, manure, and other waste products. Proper waste management reduces odors, prevents environmental pollution, and minimizes disease transmission risks.

9. Record Keeping and Performance Monitoring: Maintain detailed records of broiler performance, including growth rates, feed conversion ratios, mortality rates, and health status. Regularly analyze performance data to identify trends, optimize management practices, and make informed decisions.
