How to Use Rice Husk as Bedding for Baby Chicks

Video Transcript

I am Dr. T. K. Roy, speaking on behalf of Expert Video. There are different systems for, of poultry houses. Now one is a different layer house where the bars are maintained on the floor and, on the cemented floor, there they put some sawdust, some, you know, chopped bedding straw, some chopped wheat straw, some, even the rice husk. I mean, either of these. Rice husk can be used as a litter, what you call the bedding. Now, a small bird, about one month of age, as a rule of thumb, I tell you, uh, the age of the barn, I mean, the months old. I mean, if it is one month old, you give a depth of one inches straw. If they're two months old, you give it the two inch of straw. If they're three months old, you give them three inches, until they're six months old, when you give them six inches of straw as bedding, on the floor. We all know it is not necessary to give any, you know, any more depth for the barns. So, on the deep litter system, an adult barn will require about six square feet of space. Thank you very much.
