INTRODUCTION AND ICE BREAKER

Trainer will begin with an ice breaker and continue

with different chickens. Trainer will focus on laying

egg chickens and the benefit of raising this type ofchicken.



DIFFERENT BETWEEN VILLAGE CHICKEN AND EGG LAYING CHICKEN

Village chickens can be raised around the house andfed very low cost feed such as spare cooked rice, curry,cracked rice, rice bran, and free feed such as insects,worms, wild plants, etc.

Village chicken can be sold for cooking and some cockswill be used for cock fighting.

Egg laying chicken can be raised in metal cages,bamboo cages, in a closed chicken coop, and biggerchicken coops with free outdoor space.

Egg laying chickens produce eggs every day so mostpeople use eggs for sale and additional nutrition for thefamily.

Most egg laying chickens do not need a cock to help intheir egg production.





NUTRITION FROM CHICKEN EGGS

Rich in nutrition.

Include many vitamins, minerals and proteins that

the human body needs

Only 76 calories per egg

Egg white has over 50% protein Egg yolk has protein, fat,minerals such as

Phosphorus, Iron, Zinc, Calcium and Selenium,

Vitamins include Vitamins A, B1(thiamine), B2

(Riboflavin), B6, B12, D, Folic acid, Panthothenicacid, and Choline.

Also includes Carotenoid, Lutein and Zeaxanthin.

FOLLOW UP QUESTION (1)

How many calories in one egg?

What kinds of vitamins are include in chicken egg?

What are the differences between village chicken

and egg laying chicken? Where can we raise egg laying chicken ?

Why are chicken’s eggs good for health?



CHICKEN COOP CONSTRUCTION FOR 20CHICKENS

Try to build 50 meter apart from well and houses

Length =4 meters, width=2 meters, and high=5-6meters and free space for running outside (for 20chickens)

Try to find free and cheap materials to build thecoop

Use thatch or plastic cover or old roof

Try to build strong coop

Design the coop size for more than 20 chickens To increase egg-laying, if possible use an electric

light over the middle of the coop. This should be leftswitched on start from 6pm to 7am.



FILLERS MATERIALS

Use rice husk for chicken bedding. Rice husk is the

best choice for filler.

By using rice husk, it will control the smell and mix

with the chicken manure and turn into a very rich

compost.

Chickens also like playing with rice husk to make

them happy.

Rice husk is cheap but should be changed very 6

months

Rice husk will make the chicken coop dry and keepthe chickens healthier.





B ANANA PLANTING

Background

The banana stalk is one of the main ingredient for feeding the chickens inthis project.

“Gluay Nam Wah”—has the largest stalk among common banana plants,good choice for planting

Having 10 adult trees = enough food for 20 chickens over 6 months

Having 30 adult trees = enough food for 20 chickens over 18 months

Planning

If flat land and space available, plant 3 meters apart in rows, with 1 meter

between each row If sloping land and space available plant in areas close to water sources

like ponds, water runoff, streams

If space is a challenge:

• Be creative when you place the plant

• Think about using small spaces for a good reason

Banana planted naturally grow in a circle. Try planting some banana treesaround a wet area, and place compost/leftover food waste in the middle ofthe circle. The compost pile absorbs water and provides nutrients for thebanana trees

It is recommended to begin planting at the beginning of rainy season



FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS

What kind of banana should we plant for chickenfeed?

How many banana plants do we need to grow in

order to make chicken feed for 6 months?

How much space should we leave between eachbanana plant?

Which place is best to grow banana plants?

Which season is the best to start growing banana

plants?



CHICKEN FEED MAKING

This feed is for 20 chickens in a month.

No Ingredients Percentage Weight (kg) Total Cost

1 Banana Stalk 25% 20 30

2 Rice Bran 22.50% 18 100

3 Crack Rice 1.25% 1 15

4 Sugar 1.25% 1 25

5 Salt 0.50% 0.4 10

6 Commercial Feed 50% 40 680

7 EM or IMO 1 L 80

8 Egg Shall 1 0

Total 82.4 940




How far do we need to build chicken coop from well

and house?

What is the ideal length, width and height for

building a chicken coop for 20 chickens?

What kind of material do you use for filling the

chicken coop?

Why do we use rice husk for filling chicken coop?



M AKING CHICKEN FEED INSTRUCTION

This will make 80kg of feed which is enough to feed 20chickens for one month

Collect the chicken feed ingredients from above chart.

Equipment needed: knives, used rice husk bags, 100liters capacity plastic bins, chopping board

Chop 20 kg of banana stalk into small pieces and placeon the used rice husk bags

Mix 18kg of rice bran, 1kg cracked rice, 40kg of storefeed, 1kg of sugar and 0.4kg of salt on top of used ricehusk bags with the chopped banana stalk.

Mix everything by using hand or shovel. Put the mixture into the plastic bin and cover it for 5

days.

Finally, you can use it to feed your chicken according tothe feed plan overleaf.



FEED PLAN FOR EGG LAYING CHICKENS

Each chicken needs 133gr of feed per day (total per

day of 2.66 kg for 20 chickens)

Feed 50% of the daily amount in the morning and

50% in the evening.

Make sure there is enough clean water at all times.

Feed Egg Shell every time for additional calcium

treatment.

Feed some insect or additional vegetables orbeans.




What kind of materials do you need to make your

chicken feed?

How many kilogram of each ingredient do you need ?

Where can you find these ingredients?

How many days you need to wait for your chicken feed

after making?

How much food do you need to feed your chickens per

day?

Why do we need to feed egg shell?

Is drinking water important to chicken?

Do we need to feed chicken more than these quantities?





D AILY ROUTINE AND HEALTH CHECK

Check daily for chickens which are sick, thin, injured,

dead or losing feathers.

Teacher or students need to check eggs, feed, drinking

water everyday.

For safety, use gloves and boot to prevent disease or

bacteria. IMO or EM is the best choice to defeat the disease and

other bad insects that will happen in the coop.

Spray bedding with EM or IMO 2 spoons and dilute in

10L of water and spray 2 times per week. Sometimes, mix EM or IMO in the drinking water when

we see the chicken are feeling sick.

In addition, you can spray any time when the smell isgetting bad.




What you have to check for everyday? What are the best choice to defeat the disease and

bacteria in the coop?

How many time you have to spray IMO or EM in the

coop? Why we are spraying IMO or EM in the coop?

Do you have any suggestion for raising egg laying

chicken?
