Lighting and Ventilation Program for Layers CBLM – ANIMAL

PRODUCTION
Flock Uniformity POULTRY
If maximum performance is to achieved, flock uniformity is very
important. To be considered a uniform flock, at least 80% of the birds
should weigh within plus or minus 10% of the average flock weight. For Module Title:
example: if the average weight of 100 birds is 300 grams, at least 80 Brooding and Growing
birds should fall within 270 to 300 grams weight range. If the flock is Chicks
less than 80% uniform, check for overcrowding, inadequate feeder and
watered space and diseases condition in the flock. Specific corrective
measures must be instituted as quickly as possible. In conditions, birds
that fall below 10% of the average weight can be moved to separate
pens and put on a higher plane of nutrition(e.g. by feeding a starter
ration) to enable them to catch up.
Body weight of layers should be monitored during the laying period.
In general, the layers should have weekly increase in weight within the
first 10-16 weeks of
production and relatively
constant body weight with
slight gain thereafter until
culling. Failure to achieve
standard weight during the
laying period will result in
reduced egg size and
subsequently a
decrease in egg numbers.

Lighting Program
Light control is valuable tool to control sexual maturity and to
ensure maximum egg production and egg size. Increasing day length
during the growing period stimulates sexual maturity while decreasing
or constant day length lows it down.

To meet the lighting requirements of a flock, natural day light

should be supplemented with artificial lights. A light intensity equivalent
for the following wattage of incandescent bulb per square meter of floor
area should be provided.
From the beginning of 19 weeks (127 days) of age, artificial light
intensity equivalent to 3 watts of incandescent light of a minimum 3/4 of
a fluorescent light per square meter floor area should be provided and
evenly distributed inside the laying house. Light bulbs should not be
more 2.4 meters (8ft) in height from floor of a living house.
Starting from the recommended lighting at 19weeks of age, light
hours should be increased by 15 minutes every week or if this is not
possible, 30 minutes every 2 weeks until a maximum 16-17 hours of
light per day is reached. These maximum light hours should be
maintained throughout laying period.

To obtain maximum effects of lighting program, consider the following:

 Light intensity in the laying house should not be less than the
growing period.
 Artificial lights should be switched off 30 minutes after sunrise
and switched on 30 before sunset.
 Bulbs and reflectors should be cleaned regularly. Busted bulbs
should be replaced immediately
 When increasing light hours, do it during the cooler predawn
hours. This will encourage feed intake.
 During dark overcast days, use artificial lights all day.
 Never decrease light hours anytime during the laying period.

Waste Disposal Program for Manure

Manure is good source of organic material for composting. Not all

manures are the same in composition. Nutrient level can vary within
manures considerably, depending on the diet and age of the animals
and the type of bedding manure is mixed with. For instance, manure
mixed with straw has a different composition than pure manure.
“Hot” manures are high in nitrogen and
they need time to mellow.” Cold”
manures, such as from horses are
lower in nitrogen and are generally safe
to use at all times. Check out the table
www.google.com for a look at manure composition
levels in different animals. The first
number indicates Nitrogen(N), the second number indicates the
Phosphorous (P), the third number indicates the Potash (K).
The next part of the plan is manure removal. Use pine shavings
as bedding because it dries out the manure and can sifted through. Hay
and straw are not absorbent and becomes wet and matted. If a hen
poops in the nesting box, it easy to clean out using kitty litter scoop.

PART I GENERAL PROVISIONS

 Rule I. Preliminary Provisions
SECTION 1. Title
These Rules shall be known and cited the “Implementing Rules and
Regulations of the Philippine Ecological Solid Waste Management Act
of 2000.”

SECTION 2. Purpose

Management Act of 2000 in order to facilitate compliance therewith and
achieve the objective thereof.

SECTION 3. Scope
These Rulesshall lay down the powers and functions of the Department
of Environment and Natural Resources, the Department of Trade and
Industry, all other concerned agencies and local government units, the

Ecological Solid Waste Management.

SECTION 4. Construction
These Implementing Rules and Regulations shall be liberally construed
to carry out the national policy of adopting a systemic, comprehensive
and ecological solid waste management program consistent with the
pursuit of sustainable development. The Rules also cover support
actions such as research and studies on solid wastes, providing
technical standards and guidelines for effective waste management
systems.

SECTION 5. Administrative and Enforcement

These Rules and Regulations shall be administered by the secretary or
his duly authorized representative or through any other department,
bureau, office, agency, local government units, state university or
college and other instrumentalities of the government for assistance in

in the discharge of its function.

Rule II. Declaration of State Policy

It is the policy of the State to adopt a systemic, comprehensive and
ecological solid waste management program which shall:
(a) Ensure the protection of public health and environment.
(b) Utilize environmentally sound methods that maximize the utilization
of valuable resources and encourage resources conservation and
recovery.
(c) Set guidelines and targets for solid waste avoidance and volume
reduction through source reduction and waste minimization measures,
including composing, recycling, re-use, recovery, green charcoal
process, and others, before collection, treatment and disposal in
appropriate and environmentally-sound solid waste management
facilities in accordance with ecologically sustainable development
principles;
(d) Ensure the proper segregation, collection, transport, storage,
treatment and disposal of solid waste through the formulation and
adoption of the best environmental practices in ecological waste
management excluding incineration;
(e) Promote national research and development programs for improved
solid waste management and resource conservation techniques, more
effective institutional arrangement and indigenous and improved
methods of waste reduction, collection, separation and recovery.
(f) Encourage greater private sector participation in solid waste
management:
(g) Retain primary enforcement and responsibility of solid waste
management with local government units while establishing a
cooperative effort among the national government, other local
government units, non-government organizations, and the private
sector:
(h) Encourage cooperation and self-regulation among waste generators
through the application of market-based instruments;
