Poultry shelter requires all of the following, except
-
proper ventilation
-
adequate lighting
-
accumulation of excreta
-
cleanliness
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Reason: In poultry shelters, there should be proper cleaning, sanitation and spraying of disinfectants at regular intervals. Thus, accumulation of excreta is not the requirement of poultry shelter as it may increase the risk of occurrence of many viral, bacterial and fungal diseases among the fowl. Adequate lighting and proper ventilation are also required in poultry shelters so that the chickens have proper light to see by and to find feed and water. Light periods are accompanied by dark periods each day to allow them to take proper rest.
