Summary Large farms require conscientious management to avoid disasters. Develop detailed management and maintenance plans to prevent problems. If you react to problems after the fact, you have no time to care for the birds. Disease ruins many large broiler farms. Bio-security and strict sanitation are important.
Automated equipment saves time and labor, but also requires skill and understanding to operate.
Train personnel thoroughly to have an efficient, productive large farm. The University of Georgia and Ft. Valley State College, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and counties of the state cooperating. The Cooperative Extension Service offers educational programs, assistance and materials to all people without regard to race, color, national origin, age, sex or disability. Gale A.
