	Broiler Chickens Information Sheet
		Broilers are hatched from eggs laid by breeding stock (broiler breeders).
		Broilers should not be exposed to strong, direct sunlight or hot humid conditions which could cause heat stress and lead to death.
		Standard intensively farmed broiler chickens are reared to their slaughter weight of around 1.8 to 3 kg within just 6 weeks of being hatched (chickens are normally fully grown by 5-6 months).

		First is the live sales segment, comprised of the accredited viajeros (live birds salesmen) who haul the broilers from the company's farms for delivery to their customers in the wet markets, either live or dressed.
		The broilers that are not harvested for live sales are dressed at the company's dressing plants and allocated for delivery to the three other segments that integrators cater to: the supermarkets, the wet markets and HRI accounts.
		The small and medium-scale broiler producers sell directly to the live chicken traders or viajeros who buy the broiler from the farm and pass it on either live or dressed to retailers in the wet market, restaurants and carinderias.

	Salmonella Enteritidis in US Broiler Chickens \| CDC EID
		Broiler rinses that tested positive on the screening test were cultured for Salmonella with standard methods (i.e., selective enrichment, plating, serologic and biochemical confirmation).
		The number of positive broiler rinses per state was plotted on a US map that showed the geographic density of broiler chicken production by county for the year 2002 (15).
		Nonetheless, the apparent emergence of Salmonella Enteritidis in broilers is noteworthy given the increase in human Salmonella Enteritidis infection rates in the United States (8) and recent findings that eating chicken is a new and important risk factor for sporadic infection (5,6).

	Broiler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A broiler is a chicken raised primarily for meat, as opposed to a one raised to produce eggs (called a Layer within the industry as it lays eggs).
		The broiler is typically a third generation offspring.
		Select strains of grandparents produce parents known as pullets which lay the egg from which the broiler is hatched.

	Broiler Litter as a Feed or Fertilizer in Livestock Operations
		The N in broiler litter is released slowly in the fall, and the cool and cold temperatures of fall and winter result in an even slower release of N in broiler litter that is organically bound.
		Broiler litter should be generated on the producer's own farm or purchased only from a licensed, reputable dealer to ensure that the quality of the broiler litter is suitable for its intended purpose.
		Broiler litter to be used as a fertilizer should be spread on permanent grass pastures (i.e., bermudagrass or bahiagrass) or soil-incorporated into annual pastures at a rate not to exceed 4 tons per acre per year when seasonal applications are made.

	Broiler Chickens (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Though they only live a few weeks, broilers suffer old-age illnesses such as heart attacks, as their hearts and lungs are unable to keep up with the fast growth of their body muscle.
		The high oxygen demand of rapid growth in the modern broiler combined with restricted space for blood flow through the capillaries of the lung results in an internal accumulation of yellow or blood-stained fluid.
		In transit the broiler, who has spent its life in a darkened shed, is exposed to light and traffic noise, some died during transport a result of the rough handling or heat stroke.

		In addition to leading to abnormal behaviors indicative of frustration, "feed withdrawal is known to be a potent physiological stressor in fowl."[22] Several studies have found that blood indices of stress, such as heterophil to lymphocyte ratios, basophil and monocyte frequencies, and plasma corticosterone concentrations,[23] increased as a result of food restriction.

		Three trials in which broiler litter was used to provide all the supplemental protein to corn silage based diets resulted in average daily gains of 1.97 lb/day as compared to 2.28 lb/day for similar animals supplemented with soybean meal.
		When broiler litter was used to provide 50% of the supplemental protein and either soybean meal or ring dried blood meal was used to provide the remaining 50%, performance was equal to animals fed soybean meal.
