The advantages of broiler thick litter raising methods are simplicity, low equipment investment, low incidence of breast cysts, and low defective products. The disadvantage is that coccidiosis is more difficult to control, and medicines and feeds cost more. However, sufficient thickness and padding quality should be maintained, and the individual places where the boards are wet should be replaced.

The padding thickness is 10-15 cm. The quality of the litter is dry, soft, absorbent, not moldy, and non-polluting. The length should be within 10 cm. The commonly used litter includes cropped corn stalks, shredded corn cobs, small shavings, sawdust, rice straw, wheat straw, dry sand, and the like. Litter management requires padding and consistent thickness. Shake the litter frequently so that chicken droppings fall under the litter. The moist litter around the sink (drinker) and trough (barrel) should be replaced promptly. Late feeding should be preceded by a layer of litter on top of the litter.

Broilers lay on litter most of the time. The quality of litter is important for the growth of broilers and the development of the chest and legs. Pad moistened knots are most likely to cause breast cysts and reduce the commercial grade of broilers.
