Artifical Insemintaion along time ago

 

I used to have a regular barber. He was a very diligent man and a chicken farmer. He once said that in his day, artificial insemination was done by inserting rooster sperm into the female's cloaca using a bamboo strip. Of course, the bamboo strip wasn't sharp because it had been smoothed.

He used artificial insemination to breed the best rooster. He had a very good rooster in his pen. He hoped to get some good generation from the roster. He sold the chciken in bird market. He useually sell some good chicken.

Of course, that practice is no longer practiced. To transfer rooster sperm to the female's cloaca, a syringe with a blunt tip is used. Sharp instruments can injure the female's cloaca. Using a syringe is also practical because it simply inserts the sperm into the syringe and then finally inserts it into the female's cloaca.

I don't know the success rate of the artificial insemination performed by the barber. I didn't have time to ask him about it. Certainly, some eggs hatched during the process, otherwise he wouldn't have explained how to do it. The artificial insemination performed by the barber was also ineffective, as only one female was inseminated, considering that the amount of sperm in a single ejaculation is only 0.2 to 0.5 ml. That's only a drop that can fit on the bamboo strip.

Usually, a single artificial insemination can inseminate as many chickens or as many as 20 birds if the sperm is diluted. Of course, thinner sperm won't be able to adhere to the tip of the bamboo.

Notice, the bammbo should be clean. Use a new bambbo for it. Ini my country, we easily find bamboo and make it easy. Off course , today we do not have to use bamboo for it.

Raise Chicken in landfill

 i took the photo at the landfill, where there is a lot waste and rubiish on there. this place is a transift before any rubbish dump in final place. there are so many plastic that you can see at the photo. you must be difficult to find any chicken in this photo. 

It is common prcatice in underdeveloped country to raise chicken or cattle in landfill. it is cheaper than raise chicken in the flock. 

There are some risk raise chicken in the landfil such as: 

1. disease transmition. the landfill is full of disease. the chicken eat the rubbish may bring some danger diseases such as salmonellea and avian flu

2.the lack of nutrition . rubbish is bad food and lack of nutirion. 

3. i believe there is such toxic in landfill. the pestiside can kill the chciken. 

4. the chicken also spread the waste. they use the feed to find but it spread the waste 

5. Either the Meat and the egg is not health. what chicken eat influence the meat and egg quality. 

When the chicken release from the mother?

 Until today, the village people in my country still use the traditional farm. They hatch some eggs and eats some eggs. They do not use incubator machine to hatch the eggs, the owner does not separate the chicken after hatch but they let the chicken stay with its mother until they grow ups.

The chicken need warms from its mother because they do not have complete feather. The thick feather cannot protect from the cold and rainy day. The chick also need food. I remember I must break the rice so the chicken able to eat the grain. Most the chicken feed at the backyard is big and the small chicken it’s not able to eat the bigger grain. The mother will break the grain into small pieces. There also some weed, grass and insect in backyard and the mother hunt the cricket and feed them. The mother is bird but it does not overfeed the chick like other birds. The mother also protects from the predator.

After the chicken grow, the mother expels the chicken. They lay some egg again clutch. When the mother separates its chick. I guess after the chicken have full plumage that can protect. It s about two or three month. The chick will make a flock and they also separate from its brother or sister. The owner may sell some chick to the neighbor or other people. Some also slaughter for the owner. When celebrate something, we slaughter the chicken to celebrate something like new born, wedding, the graduation, enter the house, and so many. Some house also slaughter chicken in order to respect their guess.

Sometime a hen also expels the chicken early when they got disturb from the owner. Sometimes unwise owner holds the chick and the hen does not want to herd the chicken again.

Raise the hen with its chicken may no profitable for the company but for family it is profitable. They do not have to buy incubator machine and provide the special flock for the chick. They just release to backyard.
