High mortality rate Day Old Chick<\/em> (DOC) one of them is due to the lack of optimal preparation before and handling when DOC arrives at the cage. One thing that should be noted by farmers is the lack of optimal management is supported by DOC conditions that have lost energy and fluid due to the transportation process. Therefore, the optimal DOC acceptance process is an important thing that must be considered before starting the maintenance of chickens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The importance of preparing for the arrival of DOC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As good as any quality DOC sometimes can not guarantee until it arrives at farm<\/em> the entire DOC is in optimal condition. Because in this case, the effects of the delivery process often have a considerable influence on the condition of the DOC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Preparing<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ideally delivery DOC from hatchery<\/em> to the maintenance cage no more than 12 hours. If possible transport DOC at most 3 to 4 hours, the sooner arrive at the cage the better. During the process of sending DOC to the cage, the occurrence of stress and dehydration or lack of energy due to the loss of some body fluids is likely to be quite large. In fact, the Chick's body's need for energy is one of the important things. If the body's energy needs are not met and there are not enough fat reserves stored in the body, then protein as a building substance will replace the function of carbohydrates as energy producers. If this situation continues, then the lack of energy and protein can not be avoided anymore (McLaren, 1981). Adverse effects caused by lack of energy, namely:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Chickens look limp and have a reduced appetite so a lack of nutrients for productivity is inevitable<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The metabolism of important substances in the body is inhibited<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Weight growth and slow egg production that can affect total productivity<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Preparation before the DOC arrives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Because time brooding period,<\/em> also called the critical period, then when brooding period, <\/em>the needs of the chicks must be met. Otherwise, then the chicks will be stressed. Chicks are stressed when put to chick guard <\/em>will be more silent, not actively eat and drink. The impact, the early days of optimal growth can be lost. To avoid this, farmers need to make some preparations including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1.Preparation before chick in<\/em>Before the start of the period brooding period,<\/em>, of course, it is necessary to prepare a comfortable and clean cage before the implementation chick in<\/em>. Faeces and litter<\/em> dirty must have been quartered and removed from the environment farm<\/em>. Piles of feces or feces that are still in the environment farm<\/em> it is feared to be a source of disease transmission.Thorough cleaning of the cage is carried out from washing and disinfecting the cage and equipment, repairing leaks or slats with holes, fogging<\/em> until the forgiveness. The liming process is carried out by flushing the lime solution over the entire surface of the cage (floor, walls and ceiling). The composition of the lime solution for a cage of 100 m2 is 20 kg of quicklime, 100 liters of water and 1 liter of 40% formalin.After that, the rest period of the cage cannot be shortened and must be applied for at least 14 days after the cage is clean. After cleaning and resting the cage, the next step is preparation, which is carried out about 3 days before chick in<\/em>. The things that must be done in this stage are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
