More and more people choose to raise chickens. Large-scale farms still put laying hens in layer chciken cages. It is better to raise cages and raise them. This is the common breeding method for raising chickens. Some have just entered chickens. The farmers of the industry do not know what kind of breeding method to choose, so they always ask whether the laying hens in the chicken farm are caged or raised? Chickens can be raised according to their own needs. It does not say which breeding method is good. It can only be said that which farming method is more suitable, and this requires farmers to comprehensively consider the chicken breeds raised in the chicken farms and the scale of breeding, so as to choose the most suitable breeding method.

1.Flattening

The net raises the chicken on a special net bed, which consists of a bed frame, a bottom net and a fence. It can be taken locally, and wood, bamboo and steel can be used. The size of the mesh is suitable for chicken feet without falling into the chicken. If a metal mesh bed is used, it can be made of 12 to 14 galvanized iron wire. The mesh size is 1.25 cm X 1.25 cm. The bottom net is 50 to 60 cm from the ground. The size of the net bed can be designed according to the size of the house, but there should be enough walkways for operation. Adopting online raising, the stocking density can be 50% to 100% more than the ground free-range. Online flat management is convenient, labor intensity is small, and chickens and chicken manure have less contact, which can significantly reduce the incidence of coccidiosis, but the investment is relatively large, and the incidence of chest cysts in chickens is more. In order to reduce the incidence of chest cysts in broilers, a layer of elastic square mesh or a nylon net can be used on the net. Disadvantages: Egg collection is a bit unreasonable and may have a high probability of breakage.

2. Cage

The cage is actually a three-dimensional chicken. They are kept in cages from shelling to sale. As the age and weight increase, it is generally possible to use the wording method of the transfer layer and the cage. The meat chicken cage is easy to mechanize and automate management. The utilization rate of the chicken house is high, the cost of fuel, litter and labor can be reduced, and the diseases such as coccidiosis can be effectively controlled, but the investment in caged chicken is large. The incidence of thoracic cysts is high, and there are more sternal flexion and soft leg disease. However, improving the structure of the cage bottom material, such as the elastic plastic cage bottom, will greatly reduce the incidence of chest cysts in broilers. Disadvantages: The frequency of insemination is high, and the semen rate is not well determined.

Is it better to raise chickens in chicken battery cages or raise them in the flat? Through the above analysis, we also understand that it is the best way to raise chicken according to your actual situation, so as to maximize the benefits of chicken raising.

In the process of using layer rearing equipment, the flocks need more nutrients, and the daily feed of the flocks needs to be configured according to the nutrients required by the flocks. Allow the chickens to balance their nutrition and let the laying hens perform well. But to configure the diet, we must pay attention to reasonable science. The author below gives the farmer an introduction to the points required to configure the feed in the layer cage.

1. The salt content should not be too high: salt is a raw material that must be added in the process of formulating the feed. It can enhance appetite and prevent the occurrence of cockroaches and anus. However, if the farmer adds too much salt to the chicken feed, it will lead to thirst. Then there will be a lot of water, which will cause the hens to drink too much water and often have strong diarrhea. In addition, the farmer must control the amount when adding salt to avoid excessive salt content in the feed, causing diarrhea in the laying hen.

2. The amount of stone powder added should not be too high: stone powder is also a kind of raw material that farmers often add when formulating feed. However, farmers should pay attention to the fact that if the amount of stone powder added in the diet is too much or too fast, it will lead to high blood calcium in the laying hens, increased kidney burden, causing kidney swelling and eventually diarrhea. When formulating the feed, the author reminded the farmers that the amount of stone powder to be added should gradually increase with the increase in the egg production rate of the laying hen, and it is not possible to add too much at one time.

3. The crude protein level should not be too high: protein is a nutrient raw material for laying hens. Generally, the content of crude protein in the feed of laying hens is about 16%, so the farmers should strictly control the content, the protein content in the feed is too high or the egg energy ratio is unbalanced, which may cause the liver and kidney function of the laying hen to weaken. It causes a large amount of urate deposition and even gout.

4. Prevent moldy changes of raw materials: high temperature and high humidity weather, it is easy to cause mildew in feed, and moldy feed farmers should not feed them. Because the moldy feed contains some toxins, these toxins will stimulate and destroy the intestinal mucosa in the laying hens, which will lead to increased permeability of the intestinal mucosa in the laying hens, causing diarrhea in the laying hens.

The above is the author's description of the farmers, in the process of using chicken in the layer battery cages to raise the chicken, the farmers to prepare the four precautions of the feed, I hope the above description can bring some help to the farmers.
