Welcome to TLE 9 - AFA (ANIMAL PRODUCTION POULTRY-CHICKEN)!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Guimars and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western Visayas
through the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is
developed to guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible
adults) in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education
Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The TLE 9 - AFA (ANIMAL PRODUCTION POULTRY-CHICKEN)

Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the teaching-learning activities specified in
each Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC) with minimal or no face-to-face
encounter between you and learner. This will be made available to the learners with
the references/links to ease the independent learning.

For the learner:

The TLE 9 - AFA (ANIMAL PRODUCTION POULTRY-CHICKEN)

Activity Sheet is developed to help you continue learning even if you are not in
school. This learning material provides you with meaningful and engaging activities
for independent learning. Being an active learner, carefully read and understand the
instructions then perform the activities and answer the assessments. This will be
returned to your facilitator on the agreed schedule.

Reporting the Condition of Poultry Housing and Facilities to the Immediate Authority
in Compliance with Environmental Compliance Certificate

I. Learning Competency with Code

Report the condition of poultry housing and facilities to the immediate

authority in compliance with Environmental Compliance Certificate.
(TLE_AFAAPPC9-12TRB-IIj-IIIa-42)

II. Background Information for Learners

Most poultry raisers in the Philippines especially in the provinces

consider poultry production as their major source of meat, eggs, and other
supplies. However, poultry production faces a lot of challenges whether
controlled or uncontrolled like environmental condition or climate, human,
and animal interventions. Therefore, it is important that poultry owners
should know the factor or condition of their poultry housing and facilities.2
Poultry housing and facilities play an important role to maximize the
production of poultry products. On the other hand, proper reporting of
incidents or issues in the site should be done to proper authorities to
address or resolve it immediately as stipulated in the environmental
compliance certificate.
As a future poultry raiser, you must be aware of the protocols in
reporting conditions in the poultry establishment for you to mitigate actions
to address the problem or issues.

How to Construct a Naturally Ventilated Open Housing

6
 Naturally, ventilated open housing is usually constructed in the
Philippines because it is simple, economical, and heat generation
can be managed easily. It is constructed with dwarf sidewalls and
are raised to the roof overhang with corrugated wire mesh to keep
predators away. Gutters are filled with insecticide to prevent
infestation of insects.

The following are the things to consider in constructing a

naturally ventilated open housing:
a) Building Orientation- It should be constructed in an east-west
direction to have access with direct sunlight.
b) House Width (Length and Height) – It should be constructed
not to exceed 12 meters in length and doors must be 15-30
meters for easy movement inside the house.
c) Roof Slope- Roof slope should be 45˚ angle to reduce head
accumulation of the roof from direct solar radiation.
d) Roof Overhang- It is used to shade the sidewalls of the
building from direct and indirect solar radiation.
e) Ridge Opening- Aids in the ventilation through stack effect.
f) Sidewall openings-It should be dwarf and built up to the roof
with permeable corrugated wire mesh and an adjustable
curtain with a minimum height of 0.4 meters. This will prevent
the house from water seepage, solar radiation, pests and
predators’ infestation. The curtain will control intermittent
lighting scheme.
g) Building Obstruction- Buildings should maintain a setback to
prevent air exchange rate in the building.
h) Roof End-Wall and Sidewall Insulation – In the Philippines,
thatched roof and bamboo are commonly used as roofing
material. It should have a minimum R-value of 1.25 m²C/W
which is recommended but in areas with more than 40˚C
temperature or higher the R-value is 2.25 m² C/W.
i) Cooling System – To maintain temperature inside the house
especially during hot season, a rooftop sprinkler or fogging
system must be installed. The use of circulation fan installed
at the center with 1-1.5 meter above the floor and tilted
downward with an angle of 5˚ should be provided.
j) Vegetation- Shrubs and grasses should be kept clean and
trimmed to keep away pests and predators. Shrubs and
grasses will reduce direct solar radiation.

Poultry Facilities that should be installed in the Poultry House:

a) Dropping Board – These fixtures should be provided in the

laying house to facilitate collection of manure.
b) Perches - These are horizontal poles where birds can sit and
rest especially during nighttime. Sufficient perches should be
constructed to prevent the birds from crowding at night.

7
 c) Nest - A nest could be either open or close. The nest should
be built on a partition or end walls. It should be high enough
above the floor so that the hens can work under them. Each
nest should be from 10 to 14 inches square or more
depending upon the size of the breed; about 4 inches (20
centimeters high and with a strip about 4 inches 10
centimeters) high in the open side to retain the nesting
materials. It is advisable to have dark nest. The hens with
darkened nest are less likely to break and eat their eggs. One
trap nest should be provided for every 4 hens kept in flocks of
50 or more, and 1 for every 3 hens in smaller flocks.
d) Feeding Troughs - These should be constructed to keep the
hens from scratching the feeds and wasting it especially when
the birds are laying eggs. Feeders are of various types and
designs. For birds in confinement or elevated floor feeders,
they make use of long V- type feeder, the lip of which is about
8 inches of the floor. The 1”x 6” boards that make up the
sides of the feeder are set at an angle of one half by two
inches board is nailed perpendicular to the side to act as lid
and prevent the feeds from being beaked out.
e) Drinking Troughs - Drinking jars should be large and
sufficient to supply the water needs of the birds for the whole
day. It is estimated that one kerosene can of water
approximately 29 litters is enough for 100 layers the whole
day.
f) Waterers and Drinking Troughs. - made up of galvanized
iron sheets, bamboos, or plastics (PVC). The most used
today are the plastic jars. They are cheap and always
available.
g) Feed Bins - These are containers where feeds are stored for
future use. Feeds can also be kept in petroleum cans which
are cheap, rat proof, and if painted, will last longer.

Reporting Method on the Status of Poultry Housing and

Facilities
a) Site Assessment
b) Use of Checklist
c) Conduct of Regular Monitoring
d) Prepare Report/s and Recommendation/s

2. Exercises/Activities

Exercise 1: Share your Ideas!

Directions: Below are statements related to information in

constructing a natural ventilated open housing and factors to
consider in installing poultry facilities. Read and analyze the
statement. Write Yes if the statement is a fact, write the correct
answer if the statement is false. Write your answer in a
separate sheet of paper.

8
 a) Roof Overhang is an aid of ventilation through stack effect.
b) Future expansion means availability of electricity and water
system.
c) Naturally, ventilated open housing is usually constructed in
the Philippines because it is simple, economical, and easy to
manage heat generation.
d) It is important to conduct survey to neighbor to avoid conflict.
e) Cooling system is important to maintain temperature during
hot season.

Exercise 2: Know Me Better!
