Soil-Moisture-and-regimes

Soil moisture and temperature regimes are two significant categorisation schemes that classify soils according to the water content and temperature variations in the soil profile.These regimes have a major impact on many facets of plant growth, soil behaviour, and ecosystem processes. Soil Moisture Regimes These regimes classify soils based on the length of time that … Read more

Soil Weathering and Formation 

Soil Weathering and Formation 

Soil Weathering and formation is an integral part of soil development. Soil formation and development is a dynamic rather than static process. Soil, the foundation of terrestrial life, isn’t simply dirt. It is an intricate tapestry made from the disintegration of rocks and minerals and entwined with the effects of time, space, and temperature. To appreciate the complex dance of … Read more

Broilers and Layers- Common Managerial Practices

Broilers and Layers- Common Managerial Practices

Broilers and layers are two distinct divisions of chicken husbandry that require different administrative approaches to maximize their respective outputs. Broilers are raised primarily for meat production, necessitating careful attention to quick growth via precise feeding regimens, environmental restrictions, and health monitoring. In contrast, layers are controlled for constant egg production, which necessitates careful food … Read more

Soil Aeration

Soil aeration

Soil aeration refers to the process of air exchange between the soil atmosphere and the atmosphere above.It functions as the soil’s equivalent of the lungs, supplying oxygen that is essential for many biological activities that keep an ecosystem healthy.

Brooding methods: Natural and Artificial

Brooding methods: Natural and Artificial

Brooding methods, which are critical for the effective upbringing of young chicks, can be divided into natural and artificial ways. Natural brooding is dependent on the mother hen’s instinctive care to provide warmth and teach critical behaviors, but it is constrained by the number of chicks she can handle and the variety of her care. … Read more

Hatching: Essential Factors for the Best Results

Hatching Essential Factors for the Best Results

Start with clean, healthy, well-sized eggs that are no older than seven days for the best hatching outcomes. Keep the incubator at a constant 99.5°F (37.5°C), with initial humidity levels of 40–50% and final days of 65–75 percent. Additionally, make sure there is adequate ventilation. Up until day 18, turn the eggs frequently; after that, … Read more
