AGREED

I am familiar with this manual.
I received one copy in my hands and undertake to keep it at my workplace.

If you were asked the question of a poultry farmer, who is it, then most likely, something like this picture immediately appeared before your eyes: a person somewhere in the countryside, feeding domestic animals like chickens, ducks and geese. Everything is true, only in modern realities, when any industry grows to immense proportions, poultry farmers mainly work in factories.

What exactly does a poultry farmer do?

(function(w, d, n, s, t) ( w[n] = w[n] || ; w[n].push(function() ( Ya.Context.AdvManager.render(( blockId: "R-A -329917-22", renderTo: "yandex_rtb_R-A-329917-22", async: true )); )); t = d.getElementsByTagName("script"); s = d.createElement("script"); s .type = "text/javascript"; s.src = "//an.yandex.ru/system/context.js"; s.async = true; t.parentNode.insertBefore(s, t); ))(this , this.document, "yandexContextAsyncCallbacks");

Even in our age of universal automation, one cannot do without a person who will supervise all processes related to the feeding and growth of birds. The poultry farmer has a lot of worries, he must serve hundreds, or even thousands of chickens.

Its primary tasks include:

  • preparation of feed in compliance with all technological standards and its distribution;
  • control over the timely supply of water to the drinkers;
  • measures for the cleaning of industrial premises;
  • setting the necessary parameters in the room, such as temperature, humidity, air exchange.

It is the responsibility of the poultry breeder to monitor the optimal conditions for keeping chickens or other birds. In addition, the poultry farmer takes an active part in therapeutic and preventive measures. He must carefully observe the condition of the animals and, at the slightest symptom of disease, take appropriate measures.

Naturally, random people are not allowed into poultry farms. Poultry breeders receive specialized education and, depending on the length of service, they are assigned ranks. The duties of a second-class poultry farmer include grazing birds, maintaining equipment and inventory, screening out weak birds and collecting animals that died prematurely.

Poultry farmers of the fourth category perform actions aimed at increasing productivity, sorting and culling live goods, cleaning trays in cages from slags. Pyatirazryadniki use the latest methods in selection and breeding work, look after the young, monitor compliance with the conditions for growing breeding birds.

Of course, there is nothing to do in this without love for animals. The poultry farmer must not only carefully handle the birds entrusted to his care, but also be very observant in order to react with lightning speed to changes in the behavior of his wards.

If you forget about personal qualities for a while, it is important for this specialist to understand;

  • rules for care and maintenance;
  • composition of disinfectants;
  • basic veterinarian and sanitary standards;
  • rules concerning sorting and packaging of egg products.

It would be useful for the poultry breeder to have responsibility, since oversight or negligence in his duties can easily lead to irreparable consequences. They teach this seemingly simple profession in agricultural technical schools, and future poultry farmers undergo internships directly at poultry farms.

It's nice that every day, thanks to the efforts of domestic poultry farmers, the growth of the Russian feathered population is increasing. And finally, it is worth noting that a real poultry farmer who he is is a person to whom doing his work brings incomparable joy.

ALL THAT: EGG OR CHICKEN?

Eight o'clock in the morning. The howler warns about the beginning of the working day at the Molodezhnaya poultry farm. It has been installed here for a long time, since the last century, and, apparently, not in vain: the siren has a sobering effect, and I instantly tune in to labor exploits. As the saying goes, the trumpet calls to duty.
By the way, I prepared for them in advance and read a curious article on the Internet about what appeared first: an egg or a chicken. A couple of years ago, British scientists used a computer to simulate the process of the appearance of a chicken egg. As it turned out, the protein ovocledinin plays a key role in its formation. It is he who, being in the body of a bird, is involved in the creation of the shell. Therefore, in the beginning there was a chicken, the scientists concluded. On this interesting fact, my knowledge of poultry farming, unfortunately, ended.
Moreover, something else is much more important for the reader: how does the egg get on the dinner table? What are laying hens fed? And is salmonella as terrible as it is painted? For answers to these and other questions, I go to the village of Pervomayskoye to the Molodezhnaya poultry farm as an ordinary employee. So, I'm on the threshold of new discoveries!

NO ENTRANCE FOR UNAUTHORIZED PEOPLE

I am not just going to become an assistant to the senior livestock specialist Nikolai Mutylin, I am going to learn from a person who wanted to work in agriculture since the seventh grade. Imagine, for him, everyday work is not a routine, but a childhood dream come true. I think that a mentor who is in love with the profession is a real find for a beginner. Shoulder to shoulder with him, I have to learn the basics of poultry farming - the most high-tech area of ​​animal husbandry, according to Nikolai Petrovich.
I will say that getting into the territory of the factory is not so easy. It is impossible for a person from the street to take and come here. “No entry to outsiders” - warning signs are easy to notice on the most important objects - poultry houses and the fodder shop. At the checkpoint, packages and bags are inspected if necessary. This is eloquently "says" a sign on the wall. Of course, tough precautionary measures are not a whim of the management and not even a desire to keep a trade secret. Winged pets are highly susceptible to infections and stress, so their peace and health are above all else.

OMELETTE WITHOUT CONCERN

Strictly observing all the requirements for the appearance of employees, dressed in a white uniform - a bathrobe and a cap, having received several pairs of shoe covers, I set off for the first task. True, we pass by the incubator: even an "agrarian" journalist will not be allowed into it - all for the same security reasons. Like it or not, this is a maternity hospital - only for birds, and sterility is a priority.
The first on our route is an acclimatizer, a poultry house for rearing young animals aged from 1 to 105 days. A kind of kindergarten for chickens, where they reach adulthood and become laying hens. By the way, at the poultry farm the Dutch livestock of the Leghorn breed is bred - Cross Hisex white.
- At this stage, the cockerels are culled, leaving only the hens. By the way, do you know that chickens lay eggs without the participation of a rooster? - the livestock specialist asks me, to which I round my eyes in surprise. A fact known to many since childhood, for me - a villager - turned out to be real news!
- The rooster is needed only for the fertilization of the egg, - the chief mentor continues, - in order to have feathered offspring.
It turns out that chickens will never hatch from store eggs. Fu, now I will fry an omelet without remorse! Indeed, live a century - learn a century.

SILENCE AND PEACE

In the aviary, where we went next, it seems dark out of habit. But gradually the eyes adapt to lighting at 10 lux - dimly, as if a nightlight is on. The intensity of light is the most important condition for the development of a bird. Its deficiency will make the chickens underdeveloped, and an overabundance will provoke too rapid growth. Another paramount requirement is temperature and humidity, as well as a strictly defined amount of feed per day. At Molodezhnaya, all technological indicators are monitored by imported equipment. The monitors display the data necessary for the smooth operation of the poultry house. The task of locksmith operators is to see deviations from the specified parameters in time and prevent changes in the mode. Any error in poultry farming is fraught with serious consequences.
- You know, a chicken lays eggs like an automaton, - Nikolai Mutylin resorts to such a comparison in order to describe the process of the appearance of eggs into the world in an accessible way. - The thing is that the follicles inside the chicken resemble a bunch of grapes. The largest "berry" comes out first, then the next one, and so on. Any stress - and the follicle may not form. - At this phrase, I began to intensively photograph pretty chickens, peacefully pecking at the grain.
The bright flash that illuminated the room obviously did not please the Corydalis: cackling loudly, they nervously flapped their wings. Apologizing to the laying hens for the invasion of privacy, I hastened to retreat. But the loud uproar of discontent was transmitted through the poultry house for a long time. “They let the Fox into the chicken coop,” I thought, realizing that my last name in this situation can be interpreted in two ways.
In general, the conclusion suggests itself as follows: sudden movements, loud sounds and extraneous noise are not allowed in the house - birds shy away from all this and are stressed.

TECHNOLOGIES AND TRADITIONS

Poultry workers have perhaps the most peaceful job on earth. Marina Varaksina has been working at the factory for ten years and knows all the intricacies of the process. In the morning, before 11 o'clock, and in the afternoon, she, in professional terms, "drives" the egg. At this time, the primary sorting takes place - dirty and beaten are placed separately. “The work is monotonous and stressful,” says Marina, not distracted. The fingers of her hands quickly go through the eggs - ten by ten, a hundred by a hundred.
The way the products move along the conveyor is monitored by the mechanic-operator Valentin Martynov and the poultry keeper Elena Shavrina. With their eyes closed, they will show why there are so many levers and buttons on a huge shield. After the initial sorting, the eggs go on an hour and a half journey to the warehouse along the "anaconda" - this is how the workers dubbed the long, winding conveyor on the street, which looks like an ordinary pipe.
And those eggs that are stained with chicken droppings, and therefore turned out to be rejected, leave on a horse harnessed to a cart. As I see it, modern technologies peacefully coexist with proven old-fashioned methods. Although the horse is one of the exceptions. Molodezhnaya has been moving along the rails of progress for a long time. It is modern technologies and imported equipment that make the production process at all its stages fully automated.

PLEASURE FROM THE PROCESS

We are moving to the warehouse - the final point in the route of zootechnics Mutylin. I feel like I can barely move my feet. Tired. Was. "How much do you wind in a day?" - I'm interested, referring to the huge area on which the factory is spread. “Kilometers 10, probably, together with the distance to the house,” answers Petrovich, as his subordinates call him.
The warehouse is busy and noisy. The process of packing eggs in plastic or cardboard containers is also fully automated. Manual labor is reduced to zero. Locksmith operators, most of whom are the fair sex, monitor the operation of the equipment.
- Probably, this is the main thing in the work - to see the results of your own work in the form of finished products? I ask Mutylin.
- Great pleasure - when we carry out the plan. A fascinating process - you need to think over the diet so that the products get exactly as much as you need. For poultry farmers, every minute counts - in time to feed, remove litter, get vaccinated and much, much more, - the livestock specialist answers.
- And who monitors the quality of products and, most importantly, their safety. How do you fight the notorious salmonellosis?
- For this part, we have specialists from two laboratories - zootechnical and veterinary. Each batch of feed and products is checked, - says Nikolai Petrovich. - By the way, my wife, Galina Nikolaevna, is in charge of the veterinary laboratory, so we vouch for the quality of our products as a family, - he smiles.
- Do you breed laying hens at home?
- Not now. By the way, our workers can only keep the breed of chickens that is in the factory. Strict rule.

HALF A MILLION PER DAY

So the walk is over. The head is spinning from the flow of information. One, of course, can not cope. It is not for nothing that about 125 people are assigned to the poultry house. They, in turn, are divided into teams - for rearing young animals, parent stock, industrial laying hens, an incubator, a feed workshop. Each one has a specific task.
Now I understand that the main thing in the work of a poultry house is patience and meticulous scrupulousness, because birds react with lightning speed to a negligent attitude towards themselves. As a result, mortality and reduced productivity are possible.
The scale of the Molodezhnaya poultry farm is impressive. 500 thousand eggs are produced here per day. An enterprise from the category of "monsters": its structure includes both field cultivation and animal husbandry, as well as the production of its own dairy and meat products, and a chain of stores. The staff is about 800 people.
It is all the more terrible to realize the situation that has arisen at the enterprise in connection with a crop failure in this dry year. “What we managed to prepare has already been eaten,” director Yevgeny Davydov states the fact. - The high price of grain is one problem, another is its shortage. There's just nowhere to buy it." With the most unfavorable outcome, Molodezhnaya may stop. But then it will be possible to reach the current level of production not earlier than 2018.
