INTERNSHIP UNDER MPWPCL
KESLA POLUTRY SOCIETY NARMADAPURAM
MADHYA PRADESH INDIA
During this week, we were assigned three major tasks to understand and observe as part of our
field internship activities:

(1) Preparation and Arrangements for Chicks Placement

(2) Bird Lifting

(3) Cleaning and Disinfection of Shed and Equipment

To gain practical knowledge about these processes, we visited multiple villages under the Kesla
Poultry Society. Through direct observation and interaction with poultry producers and
supervisors, we closely studied how each of these steps is carried out at the grassroots level.
The detailed description and findings of these three activities are as follows:

1. Preparation and Arrangement for Chicks Placement

The first process we observed during our field visit was the preparation and arrangement
required before the placement of day-old chicks in the poultry shed. This process is crucial for
ensuring a healthy environment and smooth transition for the chicks from hatchery to farm.
The following steps are involved

The process from the initial preparation to the final placement of chicks is as follows:

First, the woman ('bai') who wants to rear chicks register her name with the field supervisor.
Alternatively, every Monday, a meeting is held in the village by the cooperative society, where
interested women inform the Society Chairperson (who is also a 'Sanchaleeka Bai') about their
willingness to rear chicks. Based on this, the Chairperson prepares a list of women and submits
it to the field supervisor, placing chick rearing orders according to each woman’s shed capacity.

Considering the summer season, the order quantity is reduced slightly. For instance, a shed
with a 500-chick capacity will be given only 450 chicks. The field supervisor submits the list
to the Center Supervisor, who then compiles the data and deposits it at the Kesla Poultry
Society (KPS) office. This process includes women from all 48 villages under the Kesla block,
comprising around 1280 members who act as rearers.

The list is prepared with the collective help of 26 field supervisors and 6 center supervisors.
This team plays a crucial role in ensuring the chicks are distributed according to the plan. Once
all the lists are compiled and submitted at the KPS office, the formal process for chick
placement arrangements begins.

We closely observed this process in Jamundol village, and the steps are described below:

Two days after the chick order is placed by KPS, a chick delivery van brings chicks from a
nearby hatchery unit located in Jamani village. After the van arrives, it is thoroughly sanitized
to eliminate any potential bacteria, since it travels through various areas and may accumulate
dust and contaminants. Though the chicks are transported safely, sanitization is carried out as
an added precaution.

At the unloading point, the field supervisor, center supervisor, and the rearer (producer) are
already present. Once the van is sanitized, the Center Supervisor opens it and begins inspecting
the chicks before unloading. This pre-unloading inspection is critical and includes several
key checks that supervisors must follow:
1. Chick Weight: Each chick must weigh at least 38 grams. A small digital weighing machine
is used for this. Chicks under 38 grams tend to grow slowly and are more prone to disease.
2. Activity Level: Chicks should be active, alert, and produce natural chirping sounds.
3. Physical Condition: Chicks should be free from any deformities. For instance, 'lame' chicks
are not considered healthy and tend to eat feed unnecessarily and remain stationary in one
spot.
4. Navel Cord: The supervisor checks the navel cord by touch. It should not feel wet.
5. Hock Joint: The hock joints of chicks should not appear red or swollen.
6. Stomach: The stomach should not be bloated, and the chick’s body weight should be within
a normal range not overweighted bloated abdomens

These checks are essential to avoid any form of (yolk sac

infection, which may occur if such parameters are ignored.

After all these checks are completed in the presence of the field
and center supervisors, the unloading process begins. The van
driver hands over a delivery slip to the Center Supervisor,
known as the “Delivery Challan.” This document contains all
relevant details such as:

• Total number of chicks delivered

• Average weight of the chicks
• Number of crates (each crate contains 68 chicks)

In this instance, a total of 8432 chicks were delivered in 124 crates. Out of these, 12 crates (816
chicks) were unloaded in a nearby village, while the remaining 112 crates (7616 chicks) were
unloaded at Jamundol village.

This detailed process ensures that every rearer receives healthy, well-scrtructure and organized
and quality-controlled system chicks for rearing, supporting both productivity and
sustainability in poultry farming under the Kesla Poultry Society model.

1. Delivery & Verification Process-The delivery chalan (invoice) was brought by the
hatchery vehicle driver and was signed by the supervisor. The vehicle's kilometer reading
was noted, which confirms that the vehicle reached safely and on time.

Chicks were unloaded in front of the women poultry producers (“bai”), as per the individual
orders. Each woman counted her chicks. If any chick was found defective or weak, it was
returned immediately and exchanged with a healthy one.All defective chicks were taken back
in the vehicle to the hatchery, where the doctor checked them. If treatable, they were given
medicine; if not, they were disposed of properly.

2. Movement Towards Sheds

Each woman carried her chick crates toward her poultry shed.The crates were placed outside
the shed temporarily while internal preparations were finalized.

3. Shed Preparation (One Day Before Chick Placement)

Clean and equal-sized wood shavings (burada) were spread evenly across the shed floor. Three
layers of newspaper were placed on top of the wood shavings to absorb moisture and provide
warmth. Insecticide spray was applied inside and outside the shed using a spray machine to
maintain biosecurity sprayed with disinfectant.

4. On the Day of Chick Placement-Feed and clean water were filled into separate containers
in advance. Medicated water was prepared at least one hour before the chicks were placed in
the shed. Chicks were then placed inside circular brooding rings.
Each ring was designed to hold 300–500 chicks. If there were more chicks, separate rings were
created. Proper curtains and temperature control were ensured to maintain a healthy
environment.

5. Feeding and Brooding Process

Chick feed was initially given in trays placed inside the brooding rings.

The feed was provided in small amounts 4–5 times a day, especially during the first few days.

After 10th day, the large round grower feeders were installed. After 12th day, these feeders
were hung using ropes.

The height of the feeder was adjusted to match the back height of the chicks to ensure easy
access to feed.

The rearer poultry woman producer must visit the shed at least 3 times a day to check whether
the chicks are eating properly.

Feed and Equipment Norms-One chick tray is required per 55–60 chicks.

One large feed container (feeder) is necessary for every 35 chicks.Feed containers should never
remain empty.Feeders and water drinkers are placed at a distance to avoid water spilling into
the feed.

Drinking Water Management-For every 100 chicks, 3 water drinkers are provided.
Medicines or sanitizers are mixed with drinking water 30 minutes before being given to chicks.

Drinking water should always be clean and containers must never be left empty. If water is
found dirty, it should be discarded immediately and replaced with fresh water. Water containers
should be washed daily using Nirma or another cleaning agent. Bigger water storage vessels
should always be kept covered to prevent contamination.
1.Delivery Confirmation

The delivery of chicks is formally completed by the supervisor signing the delivery challan.
The challan also includes the kilometer reading of the vehicle, which acts as a record that the
vehicle has safely delivered the chicks to the correct location.

2. Chick Unloading and Verification

The chicks are unloaded in the presence of the respective women poultry producers (bai), who
verify the quantity against their orders. Each woman carefully counts her chicks, and in case
of any defective chicks, they are immediately exchanged with healthy ones from the delivery
van.

The defective chicks are returned to the hatchery, where veterinary doctors examine them. If
treatable, they are given appropriate medication. Otherwise, they are disposed of according to
standard protocols.

3. Transportation of Chicks to Sheds

Each woman takes her allotted chick crates to her own shed. The crates are temporarily kept
outside the shed while final preparations inside are completed.

4. One-Day Prior Shed Preparation

Preparations begin one day before the chicks are placed:

1. Litter Bedding: A uniform layer of sawdust (burada) is spread across the floor.
2. Newspaper Layering: At least 3 layers of newspaper are placed on top of the sawdust.
3. Sanitization: The entire shed (inside and outside) is sprayed with disinfectant using a
spraying machine to ensure hygiene.

5. Day of Chicks Placement

On the same day:

4. Feed and Water Arrangement: Feed and water containers are filled and placed inside
the shed.
5. Medicine Preparation: Medicated water is prepared at least 1 hour before chick
arrival.

6. Brooding Process (After Placement)

• Chicks are placed inside circular brooding rings (ring-brooding system). The ideal
temperature is maintained within the brooding area.
• One ring contains about 300–500 chicks; additional rings are made if the number is
higher.
• The area is surrounded with curtains and a favorable environment is maintained.
• Feed is provided on chick trays — initially about half of 3 trays, and then given in small
quantities 4–5 times a day.
• By the 10th day, chick trays are replaced with grower feeders (big feed containers).
 • By the 12th day, feed containers are hung using ropes — height adjusted to chick’s
back level.
• Feed containers must never be empty.
• Positioning: Feeders and waterers are placed between the chicks to allow easy access
from all sides.

7. Feed and Water Management

• One chick tray is used for every 55–60 chicks.

• One feed container is used per 35 chicks.
• Three water drinkers are used per 100 chicks.
• Medicated water (with gut medicines or sanitizers) must be prepared at least 30 minutes
before giving.
• Drinking water must always be clean. If water becomes dirty, it must be replaced.
• All water containers must be cleaned daily with detergent (like Nirma).
• Large water storage containers must always be covered properly.

8. Medicines and Supplement Schedule

1. Gutsup – 15 ml daily for the first 35 days.

2. Kotrim – Administered for 12 days help to prevent bacteria.
3. Liplok NM – Used as per requirement for nutrients
4. Elfor – Used for 12 days to purify water.
5. Electrolytes & Glucose – Mixed in 15 liters of water and given as needed. Boost
energy levels and hydration in chicks

9. Vaccination Protocol

• Vaccines are self-administered by the women rearer by manually one by one

o Day 12
o Day 21
• Vaccines are dropped directly into the eyes of the chicks.

10. Summary and Significance

This entire process — from shed preparation to vaccination — is followed rigorously in every
poultry batch. The goal is to raise each chick from approximately 40 grams to 2 kilograms
through proper care, hygiene, and consistent feeding practices.

The success of this process heavily depends on the teamwork and coordination among
supervisors, delivery personnel, veterinary staff, and especially the women poultry producers
("bai"). Their dedication ensures the healthy growth of the chicks and the overall profitability
of the poultry activity.

Conclusion

This detailed field visit revealed the high level of care, planning, and hygiene maintained by
tribal women poultry producers under Kesla Poultry Society during chick placement. The
system is structured, responsive, and aims to minimize chick mortality while maximizing early
growth. These rural women are not only skilled in technical poultry care but are also deeply
committed to maintaining poultry health standards.

This success is made possible due to the joint efforts of all Field supervisor, center supervisor
and kps. Most important the women rear who executed the care protocols with dedication

Each role Is vital and only through collaboration coordination and srtrict adherence to
procedures.

2. Bird Lifting Process

Chicks Lifting Process & Cash Receipt Register System – Polpathar, Kesla

Step-by-Step Description:

Early Morning Activity – Lifting Starts at 5:00 AM:

The lifting process begins early in the morning, around 5:00 AM. Buyers arrive at the society
premises to initiate the purchase of chicks. The first step involves completing the cash
registration formalities at the cashier’s counter.

Once the cash is deposited and recorded in the register, the buyer is issued a document called
the Chicks Lifting Form or Delivery Dispatch Slip. This form acts as proof of payment and
is used to track the inventory at the time of delivery. It is also referred to as the Lifting Demand
Sheet. The buyer then hands this form to the supervisor, who plays a critical role in managing
the verification and handover of chicks.

Purpose of the Cash Receipt Register:

This register is used to record the cash received

from buyers at the time of collecting chicks. It
includes all vital details such as:

• Date of transaction
• Name of buyer
• Cash denominations and amount
received
• Vehicle and challan number
• Signatures for verification

This record is verified through the signatures of both the buyer and the society’s representative
(usually the cashier), along with any officer in charge.

Why This Register is Important:

Accountability & Transparency

All cash transactions are officially documented with complete details, reducing any risk of
mismanagement.

Audit Trail
At any point in time, internal or external auditors can check the records to know exactly who
paid how much and on which date.

Accurate Internal Record-Keeping

In rural poultry societies, transactions related to chicks, feed, and supplies are frequent. This
register ensures systematic accounting.

Proof of Transaction
It serves as legal and financial proof that the buyer has made the payment, and in what form.

Integral to Poultry Society’s Accounting System

This register is a crucial component that reflects the inflow of cash and helps in managing
working capital.

Conclusion:

This entire process reflects the discipline and transparency followed by the Kesla Poultry
Society in its daily cash dealings. Even though manual record-keeping is used, the system
ensures accountability, clarity, and traceability — which is essential in the functioning of rural
producer collectives.

Step 2: Receipt Voucher – Issued by Kesla Poultry Cooperative Society Ltd. (KPS),
Suktawa, Narmadapuram (M.P.)

Document Title: Receipt Voucher

A receipt voucher is an official document issued by the society to acknowledge that a buyer
has deposited a certain amount in cash towards their account. It is used for accounting, internal
recordkeeping, and as proof of payment for both the society and the buyer.

→ Buyer pays in cash
→ Society acknowledges through the receipt voucher
→ Chicks are dispatched as per the lifting demand sheet

This integrated process ensures financial transparency, operational accuracy, and

accountability in Kesla Poultry Society’s business practices.

Step 3: Issuance and Use of Chicks Delivery Dispatch Form

After the buyer completes registration at the society's office, the cashier provides a document
called the Chicks Lifting Form or Delivery Dispatch Form. This form is commonly referred to
as the Delivery Dispatch Slip and is also known as the Lifting Demand Sheet. This document
is essential for inventory management, verification at the time of delivery, and acts as a legal
record of the transaction.

✍ Signature & Stamping:

• There is a signature of the "General Secretary" on the form.

• Two official stamps of the Society are also placed for authentication.
• Buyer or supervisor must ensure that this form is properly signed and stamped before
any payment is finalized.

Importance of the Delivery Dispatch Slip:

1. Delivery Record – It tracks who collected the chicks, how many were lifted, the
dispatch time, and the driver responsible.
2. Inventory Control – It shows how many chicks were dispatched and to which village
or producer group.
3. Verification Tool – Serves as documentary proof for the supervisor or producer to
confirm they received the chicks.
4. Auditing & Payment – The Society only finalizes payment collection from the buyer
once this form is signed and approved.

Additional Notes:

• A pink copy of the Cash Movement Register is retained at the Kesla Poultry Samiti
(KPS) for financial record-keeping.
• The buyer must hand over the registration slip to the designated supervisor at the
delivery site before lifting the chicks.

Supervisor’s Role in Ensuring Transparency:

The supervisor plays a vital role in maintaining transparency and accuracy during the chicks
lifting process. Their key responsibilities include:

1. Verifying the registration slip brought by the buyer.

2. Cross-checking the information on the delivery dispatch form.
3. Ensuring the correct quantity and size of chicks are received.
4. Verifying any mortality (dead chicks) at the time of delivery.
5. Getting necessary signatures from producers and maintaining delivery confirmation.
6. Returning a signed copy of the delivery slip to the Society office as proof.
 7. Making sure that only those producers listed in the slip receive chicks.

The supervisor acts as the last checkpoint in the chicks distribution chain and is accountable
for reporting any discrepancies. Their presence ensures that the delivery process is fair,
documented, and matches the records of the society.

Supervisor's Role in Ensuring Transparency in the Lifting Process

The supervisor plays a critical role in maintaining transparency, accuracy, and proper
documentation during the bird (murghi) lifting process. Their primary duties include:

1. Ensuring Proper Documentation:

o The supervisor is responsible for verifying that all documents, such as the
Registration Slip, Lifting Form (Delivery Dispatch Slip), and Receipt (Safed
Copy), are properly filled out and signed before the bird lifting begins.
o These documents serve as proof of transaction and are essential for inventory
control and auditing.
2. Monitoring the Lifting Process:
o The supervisor must be physically present at the time of bird lifting.
o They oversee the counting and weighing of birds crate-wise to avoid any
mismatch or fraud.
o Any discrepancy is noted on the spot and resolved immediately.
3. Ensuring Fairness and Accuracy:
o The supervisor ensures that producers are not cheated during the weighing or
pricing process.
o They supervise crate numbers, quantity, and weight to maintain fairness for the
producer and the buyer.
4. Cross-Verifying Details:
o They match the details on the delivery slip and lifting form with what is
physically being lifted.
o They sign and approve the documents only after verifying everything is
accurate.
5. Maintaining Clean Records:
o The supervisor retains the necessary copy for the society’s records (usually a
pink or carbon copy).
o These records are used later for payment settlement and audit purposes.

• Final Weight (Net): 2.14 (Likely in quintals = 214 kg, or tons = 2.14 T)
• Checked By: Mr. Kushwaha

Clarification on Weight Units

• Crate weights like "800", "400", etc. could either be in:

o Grams: But if we total 6500g, average weight per bird = ~20g → Not possible.
o Kilograms: If total = 650.0 kg → average per bird = ~2.02 kg → Accurate.

Most logical explanation: The total weight is 650 kg, and each bird weighs around 2.02
kg, which is realistic for a market-ready broiler bird.

Summary

• This receipt provides a transparent and verifiable record of the bird pickup process.
• It confirms crate-wise bird count and weight, time of pickup, and supervision.
• Supervisor’s role ensures all stakeholders — producer, buyer, and society — are
protected.
• The receipt, along with other documents, forms the basis for inventory management,
payment release, and auditing.

 This is the standard lifting process followed by the poultry society for transparency and
documentation among all stakeholders.

Payment to poultry producers is determined on the basis of their performance in each batch.
Specifically, the amount earned depends on their Efficiency Index (EI), which reflects overall
productivity. Hence, poultry producers are paid based on the efficiency of their operations—
higher EI leads to higher earnings. The performance metrics of an individual farmer in one
summer batch are provided below:

Producer Name: Kunti bai

Particulars Details
Chicks Placed 408
Mortality 13
Feed Consumed 1120 KG
Birds Sold 395
Average Body Weight 1.83 KG
Mean Days 34
Efficiency Index (EI) 337
Rate of Payment ₹5.58 per KG
Total Weight Sold 724.10 KG
Total Earning ₹4040/-

As demonstrated in the table above, Tara Bai placed 408 chicks in a cycle, with a mortality of
13 birds. After 34 days, she sold 395 birds with an average body weight of 1.83 kg. Her total
production amounted to 724.10 kg of live bird weight, for which she was paid ₹5.58 per kg—
earning a total of ₹4040 for that batch.

The Efficiency Index (EI), which determines the rate of payment, is calculated using the
following formula:

Efficiency Index (EI) = (Average Body Weight (kg) × Liveability (%) × 100) ÷ (FCR ×
Number of Days)
3. Cleaning and Disinfection of Shed and Equipment
(Based on field observation in Bodkheda village)After visiting Bodkheda village, we observed
the cleaning and disinfection practices followed by the poultry caretaker after bird lifting. The
process was explained in detail by the caretaker (bai) and is summarized below:Step-by-Step
Process:
1. Removal of Equipment:

All equipment (feeders, drinkers, etc.) is first taken out of the poultry shed.

2. Litter Disposal:

The used litter (burada) is collected and packed into sacks, then stored or disposed of properly.

3. Initial Washing:

The entire shed is washed thoroughly with water to remove dirt and organic matter.

4. Scrubbing and Cleaning:

The walls and all sides of the cages are scrubbed using detergent (such as Nirma) along with a
disinfectant to ensure proper cleaning.

5. Disinfectant Application:

Disinfectant solution is sprayed on the floor of the shed and left to dry completely.

6. Lime Treatment (Chuna):

After two days, the floor is wiped with lime to ensure any remaining viruses or pathogens are
eliminated.

7. Flaming of Cages:

A few days later, the metal cages are flamed using a torch to enhance disinfection and eliminate
hidden germs.

8. Final Spray and Sealing:

A final disinfectant spray is applied throughout the shed. The entire shed is then covered with
a tarpaulin or plastic sheet to retain the disinfectant effect until the arrival of new chicks.

9. Cleaning of Equipment:

All the removed equipment is washed with disinfectant, dried properly, and then placed back
inside the shed. These steps are crucial to maintain biosecurity and hygiene standards in poultry
farming, ensuring the health of the next batch of chicks.
