How to Protect Baby Chicks from Predators

Video Transcript

I am Dr. T. K. Roy, speaking on behalf of Expert Village. Protecting our birds from predators, as I have already explained, there are different kinds. See, from the, from the rats, et cetera, which come from under the ground, you know. So what do they do? We can cement our floor, or we can make our floor in such a way so that the rats cannot dug inside and come inside the house. I have seen, in a particular area, that on the floor, before it is getting cemented, about six to eight inches sand is used as a floating material. So after it is removed, it has been filled with sand, with six to eight inches depth, and then brick-layed and over that seventy centimeters. So thereby they could prevent some of the, you know, rats coming from the ground. And some of the houses I have seen, that they have a, you know, breaking continuity from the road to inside. Say, once you like to go inside the house, a chicken house, you are to use certain stairs. Now, after three or fours stairs, is the floor of the house. So what they have done, they have put a gap of about eight to twelve inches between the step and the floor so the rats cannot just take the stairs to come inside, in a building. Again, the floors of certain buildings has been extended by about sixteen to eighteen inches on the sides so that the rats cannot all just climb and climb back inside the inner floor area. So these are very effective measures for preventing rats as predators. the predators which come from under the ground, you know, under, from the, from the floor itself. Like the big rodents, rats, is it a, they destroy the, you know, small chicks. They eat our food. They were causing a lot of loss to the farmer. Thank you very much.
