In my Agricultural Science School Based Assessment (Broiler Production) .This project will introduce students in the rearing of poultry within schools and with the help of Mr. Thompson from Hypo for giving our school a help in hand by contributing us with two hundred (200) chicken to our Broiler Unit since it was in fact our first time rearing chickens at Green Pond High. Chickens were the birds of focus .Chicken are from the bird family and the required suitable conditions such as: Ventilation, suitable temperature, sanitary places etc to grow. Lights were installed in the unit so to providing warmth and light for the chickens in the night in case they wanted to feed.
I must say this assessment consist of the description of activities carried out, material and equipment used, the schedule of operation carried out to the birds, budgets ,analysis ,commend made, recommendation and conclusion.
