    The document outlines a project to determine the dressing percentage of broiler chickens at a school farm. The objectives are to rear broiler chicks from November 2021 to January 2022, recording their weekly live weights. At 9 weeks, 12 chickens will be slaughtered and their live and dressed carcass weights recorded to calculate the dressing percentage. Materials like a scale, shovel, feeder, bags and knife will be used for rearing, weighing, slaughtering and packaging the chickens.

    Problem Statement

    The live weight of an animal before slaughter and the dressed carcass weight of that animal after
    slaughter usually differ. As a result the dressing percentages of livestock are therefore always less
    than 100 percent. Based on studies in broiler production, the dressing percentage of broiler chickens
    range from 75 percent - 80 percent. However, at the Grenada Boys’ Secondary school the dressing
    percentage of the broilers reared at the school’s farm is unknown.

    Objectives:

    Materials/Equipment:
    shovel- used to remove litter from pen and turn the litter every week
    plastic bags- used to place the meat after slaughtering and dressing
    scale- used for weighing of feed and measuring the weight of the chicken
    feeder- used to provide food to the chickens
