The environment of the chicken house is very important for the growth of the chicken. The growth and health of the chicken has been affected by the environment, and the environment is not good, which may cause the chickens to develop diseases in batches. In particular, many farmers now use closed chicken houses, which have higher breeding density and more important environmental problems. If the environment is not good, it will cause harm to the chickens.

1. Hazard performance of low temperature: The chick is just born, has poor resistance, and needs relatively high temperature to ensure health. If the temperature of the brood house at this time is too low, it will cause the chicks to die in large quantities, the chicks will show fluffy, and the piles will be piled up due to the low temperature, and the chicks will have their wings sagged and squeaking. If the low temperature lasts for a long time, it can cause a large number of deaths.

2. High temperature: Although the growth of chicks requires relatively high temperatures, the temperature that continues to be too high will affect the health of the chicks. Temporary high temperature, chicks have certain adaptability and regulation ability, but if the farmers have been keeping the chicks in a high temperature environment for a long time, the body temperature regulation mechanism in the chicken chicken group cannot be resisted. If it exceeds a certain limit, the chick will die. Generally, high-temperature-affected chickens express their mouths and gasp, and they will stay away from the hotter places, the feed intake will be greatly reduced, and the need for water will increase greatly, and the chicks will continue to die. Even if there is no large number of deaths, due to high fever, the growth and development of the chicks will be stagnant due to the decrease in feed intake, and other diseases can be induced.

3. Hypoxia or carbon dioxide poisoning: If the chicks are kept in a closed chicken house, if the farmer does not pay attention to timely and reasonable ventilation, it will easily lead to the phenomenon of carbon dioxide poisoning caused by the lack of oxygen in the house. The method of checking the accumulation of hypoxia and carbon dioxide is the farmer. You can choose to ignite a candle 10 cm from the bottom of the cage. If the candle is not easy to ignite or is quickly extinguished, it means that the house is lack of oxygen or carbon dioxide.

4. Ammonia: The chicken house will produce a large amount of manure every day. If the farmer does not clean the manure in time, it will cause a large amount of ammonia gas to be produced in the manure. When the concentration of ammonia gas exceeds 25ppm, it can stimulate the eye and cause conjunctiva. Inflammation and corneal ulcers can make chicks susceptible to respiratory diseases; when the concentration reaches 80ppm, the appetite of the chicken can be reduced, weight loss, and various diseases can be induced, resulting in batch death of the chicks.

The above is what the author tells the farmers. In the process of using chicken battery cages to raise chicks, the environmental control in the chicken house will cause several hazards to the chicks. It is hoped that farmers can reduce the existence of the above misunderstandings and create a comfortable growth environment for chicks to ensure a good survival rate.

The summer season is a stage in which chickens are more difficult throughout the year, because the summer battery cage for layers temperatures are high and the chickens are a creature without sweat glands. This stage of the flocks is prone to various diseases and high temperature heatstroke in the house. In order to enable farmers to obtain good economic benefits when using chicken equipment for raising chickens in the summer, what are the methods for improving the efficiency of raising chickens in summer?

1. Do a good job of heatstroke prevention and cooling in the chicken house and poultry farming cage equipment. All the ventilation and cooling equipment in the chicken house will be applied, so that the temperature in the chicken house will reach the range suitable for the life of the chicken.

2. Chicken breeding density is appropriate. Planning the density of flock farming is an important part of chicken breeding in summer. If the summer is hot, if the density of the flock is too large, it will easily cause the chicken to suffer from breathing and poor heat dissipation, which will cause the chicken to suffocate and die. Therefore, farmers should arrange the density of the flocks in the summer.

3. Improve the structure of chicken feed. The summer weather is hot and the composition of the chicken feed has to change. In the summer, reduce the energy level in the chicken feed, pay attention to the vitamin content in the chicken feed. Also pay attention to the chickens in the summer season to add sufficient water.

4. Improve the time of the chicken diet. In the summer season, you should choose to feed the chickens in the cool season. Generally, you will choose to feed at night. It is cool from 10:00 to 6:00 in the morning, which is good for chickens. rest.

The above is the way to improve the efficiency of raising chickens in the summer. After all, raising chickens is also to make money, so that the benefits of raising chickens can be improved.
