CARA PANEN AYAM BROILER

Summary

In this video, Erwin Haryanto takes viewers through the process of harvesting broiler chickens on a farm in Thailand. The crew, consisting of five personnel, prepares by weighing baskets used for transporting the chickens, ensuring accurate measurements before loading. The chickens are then sorted based on size and weight, and the procedure for weighing and transferring them to transport vehicles is shown. The video also highlights the importance of thinning the flock at 28 days to optimize growth, with a focus on a healthy batch of chickens averaging 2.4 kg each. The process demonstrates the careful handling and logistics involved in chicken farming.

Takeaways

• 😀 The video showcases a broiler chicken harvesting process in Thailand.
• 😀 Five workers, including a weight measurer and vendors, are involved in the harvesting of the chickens.
• 😀 The first step is preparing a wire basket (60 cm wide, 120 cm long, 40 cm high) to weigh the chickens.
• 😀 The basket's weight is recorded and adjusted using a water-filled bottle if necessary to ensure accuracy.
• 😀 The basket is weighed in front of the farm staff, chicken workers, and buyers to ensure transparency.
• 😀 The number of chickens placed in the basket is based on their size, ranging from 25 to 40 chickens.
• 😀 If chickens are small, the basket holds more; if large, the basket holds fewer chickens.
• 😀 The chickens are weighed using a seated scale, and a half-kilogram tolerance is subtracted to account for transport shrinkage.
• 😀 Once weighed, the chickens are transferred to a transport vehicle for delivery to buyers.
• 😀 Buyers either sell the chickens live or slaughter them for resale to smaller vendors.
• 😀 The chickens are 38 days old, with an average weight of 2.4 kg, and 900 chickens were removed at 28 days for thinning to reduce overcrowding.
