Users of broiler chickens know that broilers grow very fast. In particular, the use of chicken cages to raise broiler chickens is much faster than in the past. It takes about 50 days to go out. The weight in a week of breeding is 3 to 4 times that of the newborn. Therefore, how to correctly do the brooding work of caged broilers a few days ago, so that the chicks have a good start, is of great significance to the production of broilers. The following authors will introduce several technical points for the management of early broilers using chicken battery cages.

First, to ensure comfortable environmental conditions: when broiler hatching, the chicks live in a relatively high temperature environment, so farmers should pay attention to prevent the chicks from dehydration, in the first week should carefully adjust the humidity of the house. Chicks can regulate their body temperature at about 1 week of age. Therefore, before the chicks arrive, the house should be pre-warmed and maintain a comfortable temperature and humidity.

In the first seven days of broiler breeding, the farmer should always check the temperature and relative humidity in the house, at least three times a day, and at least once a day after seven days. In order to more accurately detect the environment in which the chicks are located, the temperature probe should be as close as possible to the chicks, in addition to using a conventional thermometer to calibrate the electronic probe of the automatic control system.

At the same time, farmers should pay attention to the importance of air quality in the first week of chicks. By properly ventilating the air, the temperature and humidity are kept at an appropriate level, and harmful gases are discharged. A minimum ventilation program that provides fresh air and removes harmful gases should be developed from the outset. In addition, the use of circulating fans in the house also contributes to improved air quality.

Second, a reasonable layout: broilers grow very fast, so farmers should pay attention to seize all the growth opportunities, so that chicks to establish a healthy appetite with good feeding and drinking behavior as soon as possible. Therefore, farmers should try to make 1 day old chicks free to come into contact with feed and water. In order to reduce the stress on the chicks and ensure good early growth, the chicken house layout should be done before entering the chickens, and the drinking water and feeding equipment should be placed in a reasonable position in the chicken cage.

Third, disease prevention and control. Broilers are born and have relatively poor resistance, so farmers must not only manage feeding and environmental control. The prevention and treatment of diseases is also very important. The early farmers mainly control Salmonella and E. coli. The mortality rate is generally between 2% and 3%, accounting for about 30% of the total number of deaths in the whole period. In addition, farmers should enter from a normal, well-conditioned hatchery. If the disease is found to be timely, the drug should be appropriate. At the same time, should add some nutritional additives, such as glucose, electrolytes, multivitamins, etc., in order to improve the disease resistance of the chicks, generally 3-5 days can greatly reduce the mortality.

The above three points are the management technical points when using poultry farming equipment to raise chickens. I hope that the above description can help the farmers. If there are other questions or if you want to consult the equipment, the farmer can consult the technicians of the experienced poultry equipment suppliers.

It is common to use chicken houses to raise chickens, especially on large-scale farms, but what are the management points for successful farming?

The first is the temperature difference of the chicken house and poultry farming equipment for sale. The ventilation and control of the house is controlled by the wind turbine. The time control ensures that the air quality of the house is appropriate. The temperature control manages the temperature of the house and avoids excessive temperature. That is to say, the ventilation in the spring should be stable, adapt to the weather changes, and convert the minimum ventilation and transition ventilation reasonably and timely. In the spring, the daytime temperature is high, the nighttime temperature is low, and the good house temperature management requirements: reasonable estimation of the chicken group temperature, according to which the time control ventilation time and temperature control open temperature difference. Grasp a principle: avoid excessive ventilation during the day, cold stress in the flock, high temperature at night, and heat stress in the flock. Closely observe the flock and properly regulate ventilation and temperature settings.

Depending on the season, the humidity of the house is also different. The spring climate is dry and the outside humidity is low. When the ventilation increases during the day, the humidity in the house is difficult to meet the requirements. This requires us to humidify and keep the ground moist, but not The leeches, the water that does not evaporate, the humidity that is evaporated. In the spring, the external climate is warm and cold, and the wind is changing rapidly.

Spring is a high incidence of flock disease. This requires us to do the biosafety work of the chicken farm during the management of the chicken house, the aisle of the chicken house, and the humidification and disinfection. Sterilization basin at the door, disinfection watering can is essential. The second is to do a good job in the prevention of spring blight, rationally design the entire batch of chicken medication procedures, and select highly effective sensitive drugs. With the gradual recovery of the external temperature in the spring, when the heat production of the chicken house and the external thermal environment affect the temperature of the house, it is sufficient to maintain the proper temperature required by the flock under the premise of satisfying the ventilation of the flock.

Use the fan temperature control and time control to reduce the temperature difference between day and night in the poultry farming equipment and reduce the temperature difference between the day and night of the chicken, and reduce the temperature difference between the front and the back of the house.
