As one of the important practices that determine the quality and quantity of layer production, debeaking requires an appropriate technology. Because debeaking is done to prevent birds from injuring others, the debeaking options are buying chicks already debeaked by infrared in the hutchery. A farmer should use hot knife/ debeaking machine and use sand stones on the floor in the pen.

Layer management

Because debeaking effect is noticed in reduced feed intake after debeaking, the younger the bird, the lesser the damage od debeaking hence a need to combine vaccination and debeaking to prevent multiple stress. Do not debeak birds in stages of production as it causes hgh mortality raye and reduce egg production.
Similarly, put stones in pens for layers to file their beaks. Debeaking is done to prevent damage hence hook off the upper part that causes damage.
Finally, never debeak beyond upper part as it may cause infections.
