WHAT ARE SOME OF THE CONSIDERATIONS FOR
ORGANIC POULTRY FARMING ?
1) MEAT OR EGGS PROCESSED
ON THE FARM MUST COMPLY WITH
ORGANIC HANDLING STANDARDS

…IF PROCESSED OFF-FARM…
THE PROCESSING PLANT MUST

WHAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES IN
ORGANIC POULTRY PROCESSING ?

WILL KILL AND PROCESS THE BIRDS
INFORMATION BASE
QUESTION
CAN PROCESSING PLANTS THAT ARE ALREADY
IN COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL AND STATE
REGULATIONS BE CERTIFIED AS “ORGANIC” ?
…YES…
…HOWEVER…
1)
PRECAUTIONS MUST BE TAKEN TO NOT CONTAMINATE
ORGANIC PRODUCTS WITH THE NON-ORGANIC PRODUCTS
2)
RECORD KEEPING FOR AUDITS IS ESSENTIAL
3)

NUTRITIONALLY SPEAKING
WHAT ARE THE ONLY SIX
THINGS CHICKENS NEED ?
SIX MAJOR NUTRIENTS
CARBOHYDRATE
LIPID
PROTEIN
VITAMINS
MINERALS
WATER
VERY IMPORTANT CONCEPT OF
NUTRITION TO REMEMBER
NOT
…..ENERGY IS
A NUTRIENT…..
IT IS A “PROPERTY” OF THREE NUTRIENTS
CARBOHYDRATE
LIPID
PROTEIN
VERY IMPORTANT CONCEPT OF
POULTRY NUTRITION TO REMEMBER
MOST POULTRY
EAT THE AMOUNT OF FEED THEY NEED IN
ORDER TO MEET AN ENERGY REQUIREMENT
IMPORTANT FACT TO REMEMBER
…TODAY…
FEED COSTS REPRESENT APPROXIMATELY
75% OF THE TOTAL COST OF
PRODUCING MEAT AND EGGS

“CONVENTIONAL PRODUCTION”
1) USE THE CORRECT FEED FOR EACH AGE & BIRD TYPE
STARTER
GROWER
FINISHER
LAYER
“CONVENTIONAL PRODUCTION”
1) NUTRITIONAL REQUIREMENTS MUST BE MET BY FEEDING
A “COMPLETE DIET” (BALANCED ENERGY & NUTRIENTS)
2) IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO FEED CRACKED CORN OR
SCRATCH FEED OR LIMESTONE OR OYSTERSHELLS
(REMEMBER: BLENDING WITH GRAINS DILUTES THE NUTRITION)
3) HOME-MIXED FEEDS MAY BE USED BUT INGREDIENTS
MAY BE DIFFICULT “AT TIMES” TO ACQUIRE
4) DO NOT LIMIT FEED CONSUMPTION BY RESTRICTING
FEED BECAUSE THIS WILL DECREASE PERFORMANCE
“ORGANIC PRODUCTION”
1) NUTRITIONAL REQUIREMENTS DO NOT CHANGE
2) THE FEED MUST BE “ORGANIC” (INCLUDES PASTURES)
3) FEED IS MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE
4) DRUGS, ANIMAL BY-PRODUCTS, ANTIBIOTICS AND “GMO”
PRODUCTS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE FEED (NOP LIST)
5) SYNTHETIC VITAMINS AND MINERALS ARE ALLOWED
BUT, SYNTHETIC AMINO ACIDS ARE NOT ALLOWED
“ORGANIC PRODUCTION”
6) FISHMEAL, ENZYMES AND OYSTER SHELL ARE ALLOWED
7) SYNTHETIC ANTIOXIDANTS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN DIETS
8) ALGAE, EARTHWORM AND INSECT MEALS ARE ALLOWED
9) PROBIOTICS ARE ALLOWED TO BE USED IN FEEDS
10) GRIT IS ALLOWED TO BE USED
WILL THE TYPE OF DIET THAT I FEED
HAVE AN EFFECT ON THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THE GIZZARD ?
