TOTAL: Our club hour has come to an end. You've done well. We will talk with you more than once about the choice of professions. After all, choosing a future profession is a very important matter for each of you.

If you were asked the question of a poultry farmer, who is it, then, most likely, something like this picture immediately appeared before your eyes: a person somewhere in the countryside, feeding domestic animals like chickens, ducks and geese. Everything is true, only in modern realities, when any industry grows to immense proportions, poultry farmers mainly work in factories.

What exactly does a poultry farmer do?

(function(w, d, n, s, t) ( w[n] = w[n] || ; w[n].push(function() ( Ya.Context.AdvManager.render(( blockId: "RA -329917-22", renderTo: "yandex_rtb_R-A-329917-22", async: true )); )); t = d.getElementsByTagName("script"); s = d.createElement("script"); s .type = "text/javascript"; s.src = "//an.yandex.ru/system/context.js"; s.async = true; t.parentNode.insertBefore(s, t); ))(this , this.document, "yandexContextAsyncCallbacks");

Even in our age of universal automation, one cannot do without a person who will supervise all processes related to the feeding and growth of birds. The poultry farmer has a lot of worries, he must serve hundreds, or even thousands of chickens.

Its primary tasks include:

• preparation of feed in compliance with all technological standards and its distribution;
• control over the timely supply of water to the drinkers;
• measures for the cleaning of industrial premises;
• setting the necessary parameters in the room, such as temperature, humidity, air exchange.

It is the responsibility of the poultry breeder to monitor the optimal conditions for keeping chickens or other birds. In addition, the poultry farmer takes an active part in therapeutic and preventive measures. He must carefully observe the condition of the animals and, at the slightest symptom of disease, take appropriate measures.

Naturally, random people are not allowed into poultry farms. Poultry breeders receive specialized education and, depending on the length of service, they are assigned ranks. The duties of a poultry farmer of the second category include grazing birds, maintaining equipment and inventory, screening out weak birds and collecting animals that died prematurely.

Poultry farmers of the fourth category perform actions aimed at increasing productivity, sorting and culling live goods, cleaning trays in cages from slags. Pyatirazryadniki use the latest methods in selection and breeding work, look after the young, monitor compliance with the conditions for growing breeding birds.

Of course, there is nothing to do in this without love for animals. The poultry farmer must not only carefully handle the birds entrusted to his care, but also be very observant in order to react with lightning speed to changes in the behavior of his wards.

If you forget about personal qualities for a while, it is important for this specialist to understand;

• rules for care and maintenance;
• composition of disinfectants;
• basic veterinarian and sanitary standards;
• rules concerning sorting and packaging of egg products.

It would be useful for the poultry breeder to have responsibility, since oversight or negligence in his duties can easily lead to irreparable consequences. They teach this seemingly simple profession in agricultural technical schools, and future poultry farmers undergo internships directly at poultry farms.

It's nice that every day, thanks to the efforts of domestic poultry farmers, the growth of the Russian feathered population is increasing. And finally, it is worth noting that a real poultry farmer who he is is a person to whom doing his work brings incomparable joy.

Boys of all times and peoples love to watch westerns. In them, brave cowboys fight Indians and shoot accurately with pistols. However, shooting from the Colts is just a side and extremely rare occupation of the inhabitants of the prairies. First of all, judging by the literal translation, a cowboy raises cows, it is difficult to say whether this is a profession or a vocation. However, the profession of a cowboy can be translated more harmoniously and more accurately: a cattle driver, a shepherd, a cattle breeder.

Cattle drive could last a whole year, so cowboys were forced to acquire the simplest skills of professions that usually served a cow's life: a calf, a veterinarian, a cattleman, a milker, and even a breeder and livestock specialist.

Modern breeders

In modern livestock farms, which provide large cities with an uninterrupted supply of meat and dairy products, the cow shepherd has dissolved into a professional team of livestock breeders, each with one or more specialties. As a rule, these are urban people with higher education. A new one has been added to the traditional specialties - the operator of livestock complexes and mechanized farms.

Those who are engaged in raising cows in the old way (village residents) are usually referred to as cattle breeders and farmers. Those may themselves be generalists or hire the same veterinarians, milkmaids, calves and breeders.

The work of a shepherd is hard. Even if you have only one cow, forget about weekends, vacations and going to the theater. The cow is able to attach itself to you and bind you to itself, with invisible chains of production necessity and care for a living, joy-giving creature.

And some secrets...

Have you ever experienced unbearable joint pain? And you know firsthand what it is:

• inability to move easily and comfortably;
• discomfort when going up and down stairs;
• unpleasant crunch, clicking not of their own free will;
• pain during or after exercise;
• inflammation in the joints and swelling;
• causeless and sometimes unbearable aching pain in the joints ...

Now answer the question: does it suit you? Can such pain be endured? And how much money have you already "leaked" for ineffective treatment? That's right - it's time to end this! Do you agree? That is why we decided to publish an exclusive interview with professor Dikul, in which he revealed the secrets of getting rid of joint pain, arthritis and arthrosis.

Agriculture is a separate branch of the economy, aimed primarily at providing people with food. The importance of this industry cannot be overestimated. There are many in-demand professions related to agriculture. And, of course, they all require certain knowledge and skills.

What are the professions of agriculture: a list

The most demanded specialties in this area are:

• agronomist;
• machine operator;
• machine milking operator;
• breeder;
• poultry house;
• vet.

To the question of what professions are related to agriculture, there is another answer - a beekeeper and fur farmer. They are not as common as, for example, a machine milking operator or a livestock breeder, but they are also quite in demand.

Features of the agronomist profession

Technologies for agricultural work are constantly being improved and changed. The duties of an agronomist primarily include the proper organization of production processes, growing crops, harvesting and transporting crops in these conditions. Also, people of this specialty are engaged in the preparation of various kinds of reporting and scientific documentation. Veterinarians usually have higher education. To date, the profession of an agronomist is on the list of the most demanded in Russia.

machine operator

This is one of the main specialties of such a sector of the economy as agriculture. The combine and tractor driver professions have always been one of the main ones in the countryside. A machine operator is a specialist who is able to manage all types of agricultural machinery. In addition, the duties of these workers include knowledge of the design features of the machines, as well as the implementation of their scheduled maintenance and repair.

The profession of a machine operator is considered one of the most difficult in the countryside. People of this profession often work in extremely unfavorable conditions - in heat, rain and cold. In addition, they usually have to work overtime during the planting and harvesting season. Fortunately, recently the design of tractors and combines has begun to be subject to increased requirements in terms of convenience specifically for machine operators. Cabins of new models are insulated, equipped with air conditioners and heaters. But all the same, the work of a machine operator will always remain difficult, and therefore honorable.

Machine milking operator

There are many answers to the question of which professions in agriculture are the most common. But the most famous is still the operator of machine milking. In Soviet times, many films were made about people of this specialty and a huge number of poems and songs were written. The profession of a milkmaid was then unusually honorable. Women of this specialty appeared on blue screens in the form of healthy, cheerful, ruddy girls in headscarves. However, of course, the profession of a machine milking operator is actually very difficult, and there is not so much romance in it.

Milkmaids have to get up before dawn - at five o'clock in the morning. Their duties include rubbing the udder of the cow, feeding it. But the main occupation of the representatives of this profession is, of course, milking animals. This operation is performed three times a day. Like a machine operator, the profession of a milkmaid is very important in agriculture.

breeder

It is also a very common profession in the countryside. Agricultural occupations may belong to animal husbandry or crop production. The main activity of zootechnics is, as the name suggests, the breeding and rearing of various kinds of farm animals. Workers in this specialty should provide them with the most comfortable conditions for keeping and breeding. In addition, the duties of the breeder include monitoring the health of the “wards” and maintaining the purity of the breed. Also, people of this specialty make sure that all the necessary components are present in the diet of cows, pigs, sheep, horses and goats: vitamins, minerals, proteins, etc.

Among other things, livestock breeders clean and disinfect cowsheds and pigsties, take part in preventive measures to prevent the spread of epidemics. They also monitor the procedure for grazing animals in the summer, as well as the process of preparing food for them for the winter.

poultry house

The duties of representatives of this profession are almost the same as those of a livestock breeder. The only difference is that the poultry house takes care of representatives of birds: chickens, geese, ducks, turkeys, etc. This is also one of the most common specialties in such a sector of the country's economy as agriculture. Professions related to bird care are very complex and responsible.

Vet

Man began to grow and breed animals thousands of years ago. The profession of a veterinarian has existed for about the same amount of time. In ancient times, people of this specialty accompanied caravans and armies, monitoring the health of horses and camels, and in the Middle Ages, professional veterinary schools were opened. In our country, this specialty appeared on the initiative of Peter the Great. It was this emperor who once brought highly qualified veterinarians from Europe to Russia.

Today, as in the past, the main task of the agricultural worker in this profession is the treatment of animals. It is also responsible for the implementation of preventive measures. Veterinarians give birth to animals, vaccinate, sterilize or inseminate. Representatives of this profession also control the use of various kinds of chemicals in the cultivation of crops intended for feeding animals.

Currently, there is a veterinary station in almost every settlement. Even in the cities there are similar clinics. True, they treat not agricultural, but ordinary domestic animals - cats and dogs.

Beekeeper

There are different professions in agriculture. At modern enterprises of this industry, not only animals are bred and plants are grown. Beekeeping also belongs to this sphere of the national economy. The profession of a beekeeper is quite rare in our country. However, this does not mean that it is uninteresting or unclaimed. The profession is fascinating, but, like any other agricultural profession, it is quite difficult and very responsible.

The duties of the beekeeper include the formation of new colonies of bees, ensuring their wintering and collecting honey. Also, people of this profession fight diseases of insects entrusted to them, repair hives and equipment. Despite the relative rarity, the profession of a beekeeper will always exist, because many people love honey. In addition, the product is very useful.

Animal breeder

Breeding rabbits, nutrias, arctic foxes is also one of the specializations of such an industry as agriculture. Professions related to the care of such animals are also quite in demand. Fur breeders are responsible for keeping and breeding rabbits and nutria. Their duties include overseeing the conservation of livestock, the purity of the breed, procedures such as feeding, disease prevention and care.

Agroecologist

This profession appeared in agriculture not so long ago. However, today it is almost impossible to imagine crop and livestock production without it. First of all, the agroecologist controls the use of fertilizers and various chemicals in the fields when growing agricultural plants. The task of this specialist is mainly to develop recommendations for minimizing the harm from them. Also, agroecologists in agricultural enterprises deal with the restoration of depleted and eroded soils.

Where can I get an agricultural specialty

Today in our country there are many educational institutions of different levels, whose tasks include training workers in such an industry as agriculture. Professions of this orientation can be obtained in many cities of our country. Agronomists and veterinarians usually graduate from universities and technical schools. Machine operators are trained in technical schools and colleges. The same goes for milkmaids and poultry maids.

The most famous higher educational institutions where you can get the profession of agricultural workers in our country are agricultural universities:

• Orenburg.
• Kuban.
• St. Petersburg.
• Altaic.
• Voronezh, etc.

Also, highly qualified specialists are trained by the NSHA them. Timiryazev. Of course, the success of the development of such an industry as agriculture directly depends on the quality of training of young specialists. Professions (examples of them were given above) of this group require a person to have quick wits, dexterity, quick thinking, and often physical endurance. In any case, the process of training future veterinarians, agronomists, milkmaids and machine operators should be approached with all responsibility.

Among the professions there are many such, the name of which is not well known, but their significance is great. So, not everyone knows who grows vegetables. The professions of these people are diverse, their work is not easy, it requires experience, special knowledge and constant work, because even in winter these workers cannot fully relax - the harvested seeds need care.

There are also very similar positions, for example, a field grower is engaged in work in the fields, flax grows thanks to the efforts of a flax grower, rice - a rice grower, a cotton grower takes care of cotton, and grain growers take care of grain fields. Each of these specialties is very important.

There is a buyer for every product, especially if the product is of high quality. Today, residents of megacities are trying to consume environmentally friendly products, refusing greenhouse vegetables and fruits, eggs, industrial meat. That is why poultry farming as a home business is becoming more and more popular among entrepreneurs.

Chicken breeding business plan

Consider business development options based on the following figures: 400-500 chickens are raised for meat and 30-40 laying hens for eggs.

The choice of the breed of young animals is the most important task at the start. Here it is necessary to take into account the conditions of poultry keeping, productivity, resistance to diseases. Today, there are many breeds, as well as crosses, which are often mistakenly classified as breeds.

If you do not go into scientific details, we can say that the cross can be bought. But to grow productive laying hens from their eggs is quite difficult.

We note the most popular breeds of chickens:

• Brama
• leghorn
• hisex
• Loman Brown
• Kuchinsky Anniversary

Having your own garden is a definite advantage when organizing a chicken breeding business. Experienced farmers note that in addition to compound feed, the first month the bird should be fed with nettles, carrots and, if possible, goat cheese. The second month of life can be varied with other vegetables (beets, potatoes, pumpkin).

Let's make simple calculations to calculate the profitability of a chicken breeding business. At the age of 2 months, on average, a chicken weighs 5 kg, 400 carcasses is 2,000 kg. Poultry costs about $5-7, profit from 2,000 kg is $10-14 thousand. Assuming that the initial investment for the purchase of chickens is about $6,000, the net profit is about $5,000.

Do not miss:

If the main income comes from the sale of meat, then breeding laying hens can be done as an additional income. The choice is yours.

The productivity of 30 hens is 20-23 eggs every day. For a month you can get about 600-700 eggs. The cost of a product on the market largely depends on the region and averages $1-1.5. Having made simple calculations, it can be seen that 30 laying hens are capable of bringing in up to $ 1,000 per month (excluding maintenance costs).

Practice shows that the most profitable business in the poultry industry is broiler breeding, the profitability of which reaches 70%. In any case, there should be no problems with the sale of products. In almost every city, the demand for chicken meat and eggs is consistently high.

When I decided to get chickens, I focused on egg breeds so that I don’t kill chickens, don’t spend money on fun fights, but still have fresh eggs. E. Osipova

Of the egg breeds, traditionally the best are - leggorny and hybrids of this breed, originally bred in Italy (in Livorno), and now the most common almost all over the world. These chickens are small, up to 2 kg, and you can get 220-250 eggs from them per year. Not a record, of course, but a lot.

I was afraid to take chickens - there is no experience, young birds are fragile, tender, leaving them is a whole art. True, they cost only 50 rubles each, but still it’s somehow not for me to put living souls at risk. Stopped at 6-month-old laying hens. The price of each is -200 rubles, by the way, some exotic bantam beauties would cost one and a half thousand per head! Leghorns start laying eggs as early as 4 months old.

Number of layers, which was going to purchase, calculated in advance. It depends on the area occupied by the house under the roof and the paddock under the open sky. Of course, it would be possible not to let the chickens out at all, it would be easier and more economical to keep them. However, leghorns are temperamental and mobile, not like almost 5-kilogram meat cochinchins are real phlegmatic. In addition, eggs from chickens that have a range are much more useful than from birds that are constantly indoors.

I came from the size of the chicken coop, built last fall by my prudent husband. The area of ​​​​our wooden shed, similar to a utility block, is 2 × 1.5 m. 6 hens will fit here - at the rate of 0.5 m2 per bird.

The principles of choice are as follows. Birds should be active, with bright red crests and wattles and yellow legs (pale is a sign of old age). Feathers - clean, shiny, close to the body, not thin, but not greasy, otherwise the chicken will not lay well.
A neighbor in the dacha, who has been keeping them for a long time and has achieved considerable success, helped to choose chickens from a poultry farmer. By the way, we used his advice.

Saved on the purchase of a rooster. Fertilized eggs are live, which means that this food is not for a vegetarian.

Commandments of the chicken breeder

Don't overfeed!

Do not enter the chickens from 9.00 to 15.00.

Always praise them

In addition to the usual door to the chicken hostel, the husband also built a small one (30 × 40 cm) - only for layers. Of course, there is a feeder in the aviary.
Under the drinker We have a deep bowl. We are going to treat the birds not only with compound feed, but also with useful and tasty additives: grass, the remains of the broth with bread, millet, grain, fish, dairy products and boiled potatoes.

There is also a separate wooden trough for mineral dressing - shell rock, shells or special fodder chalk. In a word, everything is according to the advice of experts.
We hope to receive 4-5 organic eggs per day, 55-60 g each.
Indeed, in the summer, chickens rush much better. In general, a neighbor somehow received 255 pieces per year from one laying hen!

In addition, I will have my own valuable fertilizer - chicken manure. Truly wasteless creatures!

reference

Wild ancestors of chickens produced only 10-30 eggs per year, modern ones - more than 300.
The record was set in 1930: the feathered champion carried 361 pieces in 364 days.

Diet eggs are those that are no more than 7 days old.

Expert opinion

Vladimir Malik, one of the authors of the collection "1000 tips for amateur breeders"
If the summer resident wants to achieve the maximum number of eggs from chickens, you need to choose the most productive laying hens and feed them with high-quality food. These birds eat a little more. For the formation of 12 pieces, 1.6-1.7 kg of a full-fledged balanced feed is spent.
Today, the French breed of chickens is very popular in the world. isobraun, from which you can get 300-320 eggs per year.

Egg hens are usually kept for a maximum of 2 seasons. Longer is unprofitable. They run less and less. Modern summer residents, leaving home, slaughter their birds in the fall, as they have nowhere to put them.

A little arithmetic

Balanced feed for layers, they are prepared according to a special program developed by scientists. The ingredients are mixed automatically and under the control of the operator.
Knowing the composition of the recipe, you can cook food yourself. For young laying hens (not chickens!) The diet includes: wheat, barley, wheat bran, fish meal, phosphate, fodder chalk, reverse, sunflower and soybean cake, table salt.

Whether it is necessary to mess around, making up a nutrient mixture, everyone decides for himself.
Complete food (PC-1) costs 490 rubles. per bag (40 kg). It can be bought in the market or ordered online in bulk. Then you will pay 11,750 rubles per ton. and the price for 40 kg will be 20 rubles. below.

For 6 layers one bag is enough for 38 days (one bird eats 180 g per day). A little more than 2 rubles will be spent on chicken feed, even at expensive prices. per day, and she will lay one full-fledged egg. The benefit is obvious. E. Osipova
