Construction of a chicken house using a chicken coop

With the development of the modern chicken breeding industry, a number of mechanized and semi-mechanized chicken farms have been built in various parts of Nigeria. The scale of professional households in urban and rural chicken farming has also gradually developed from small to large. To raise chickens, you must first have a chicken house. The chicken house was built to avoid wind, rain and sun, to create a good living environment for the chickens, to maintain a good physical condition throughout the year, and to achieve the desired level of laying. For the professional breeders, the first is to use their existing free houses as a chicken house, and the second is to use the idle land to build a new house, whether it is to use the old house or to build a new house. All must have the following conditions.

1. Conducive to ventilation and ventilation: Due to the high density of chickens, it is necessary to promptly discharge the dirty and harmful gas in the house, including the discharge of hot air and moisture in summer to ensure healthy living and normal production.

Professional farmers raise chickens. Generally, they can only use the natural wind and the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the house to form a burning airflow for ventilation. Therefore, it is best to have the house facing north and have front and rear windows and skylights (or wind phase). Windows and hoods should be able to be opened and closed to allow for airflow adjustments based on books from different seasons.

2. Conducive to the control of light: all growth and development stages of the chicken require a certain amount of illumination time and a certain light intensity. Especially for laying hens, the importance of light is more prominent, because egg formation and light are closely related. For natural light, using it can reduce the cost of raising chickens and is an aspect of utilization. However, the natural illumination time does not necessarily coincide with the needs of chicken growth and development. Therefore, in addition to the requirements for lighting conditions, the chicken house should also take into account the equipment that can control the natural light entering the house when the chicken needs a shorter light time. When the chicken needs a long light time, it can have equipment to supplement the light.

3. Good thermal insulation performance: The chicken house generally maintains a suitable temperature in the spring and autumn, and it is necessary to take measures against cold and heat during the temperature change season. Because the temperature of the temperature has a direct impact on the performance of the chicken. If the weather is too cold, you can warm the stove so that the house is not lower than 8C. When the weather is hot, you should open the windows on both sides to facilitate ventilation. You can also plant some grapes on the south side of the chicken house or take the beans to cover the shade. However, keep a distance of 2 meters to 3 meters with the house, and do not be too dense, so as not to affect the ventilation inside the house. This not only beautifies the environment, but also prevents radiant heat.

4. To be effective in epidemic prevention and disinfection: the establishment of a disease-free chicken farm is a reliable guarantee for the development of the chicken industry. In particular, raising large-scale chicken farms should pay more attention to this problem. Both the chicken farm and the entrance and exit of the chicken house should be equipped with a disinfection tank, and keep the pool containing effective disinfecting drugs so that the vehicles can be disinfected. The disinfection tank can hold 1% of the comel solution or 2% of the caustic soda. Spray disinfection can be used with 1% of neostigmine or 3% of clindaline. Small chicken farms require at least a disinfection tank. It is best to use concrete floors to treat feces and quarantine.

5. Conducive to the use of space: especially the new chicken house, before starting construction, according to the size of the poultry farming chicken cage and chicken rack used, calculate the size of the chicken house to make more reasonable use of the chicken house space.

In short, the construction of the chicken house should be based on actual needs, choose the style. It should not only meet the physiological characteristics of chickens, but also enable chickens to grow rapidly and improve productivity. It can also meet the principles of durability, easy management, easy cleaning and disinfection, and improved work efficiency. At the same time, it is necessary to adjust the design of the chicken house reasonably according to local conditions and reduce the construction cost of the chicken house building. In the areas where conditions permit, the use of advanced chicken houses suitable for the production of mechanized poultry farming equipment should be used as much as possible to promote the smooth development of the chicken raising business.

Chickens in chicken cages should be disinfected regularly

When farmers use poultry farming equipment to raise broilers, they will choose to use broiler battery cages equipment for breeding. Because of its high density, it can increase the area utilization rate and increase the number of cultures. However, in the case of high density, if you do not pay attention, it is easy to cause the disease to spread and spread. Therefore, in order to prevent diseases, the cleaning and disinfection of the house is very important, and it must be cleaned regularly. So how should this work be carried out? The author will tell you about it.

1. Remove the material line and waterline equipment to the operating room.

2. Disinfect the drinking water line with a disinfectant glacial acetic acid. Disinfectant should be kept at least 12H in the pipeline and then rinsed with water.

3. Thoroughly clean the chicken manure, chicken feathers, garbage around the chicken cage, and do a good job in environmental sanitation. There are no debris around the house, and the items outside the house are neatly arranged.

4. Remove the ceiling and clean the scaffolding, roof beams and all utensils of dust and dirt.

5. Remove the chicken manure from the bed and the ground, and thoroughly clean the entire house. There is no chicken manure, chicken feathers and dust in the house to avoid clogging the sewer pipe during flushing.

6. Clean the sewer pipes, drains, and sewage pools to ensure smooth drainage.

7. Before cleaning and disinfecting, the total power supply in the house must be cut off. The flushing machine and the lighting power supply should be connected externally. A leakage protection switch must be connected to avoid electric shock.

8. The surface of all utensils prior to rinsing is first sprayed with a low pressure spray gun with a detergent and maintained in a wet or foamed state for more than 20 minutes. At this time, if a high-pressure spray gun is used, it will produce droplets containing microorganisms, polluting the environment and people.

9. Then use a high pressure spray gun to rinse the contents of the house from front to back. This is a prerequisite for effective disinfection.

10. When rinsing, plates, walls, etc., which are difficult to clean, should be brushed with a wire brush. Clean the dirt in the shrinkage seam.

11. After the chicken house is rinsed out, vacate 4-5 vacant lots, and rinse the material line, the material box and the drinker.

The disinfection of the chicken battery cage system, according to the steps described above, can be carried out very thoroughly. I hope that the author's introduction can help you clean up.

Winter chicken insulation and ventilation precautions

When we use chickens to raise chickens, we should pay attention to the changes in temperature and the effects of different seasons on the chickens, especially when the chickens are kept in chicken battery cages . It is necessary to pay attention to the weather changes in time to prevent chickens from being caused by the weather. Ill, causing trouble for the farmers.


Due to the cold temperature in winter, pay attention to the insulation of the chicken house, but at the same time pay attention to the ventilation of the chicken house, large-scale farming, the number of chickens is relatively large, if you do not change the gas in time, it will cause too much ammonia in the chicken house. Bring trouble to the chicken. Insulation and ventilation to establish a closed chicken house, without leaving air leaks and thief outlets, pay attention to keep ventilation and vents, facilitate the discharge of carbon dioxide, ammonia and other gases and oxygen, but also do a good job, stove, heat preservation Preparation and installation of heating equipment such as lamps and insulation beds.

 

 

 

Maintaining proper and moderate illumination in the house not only promotes the activity of the chicks, but also facilitates feeding, drinking and heating, and promotes the precocious puberty and growth of the chicken. If the lighting time is too short, it will delay the maturity, so it is necessary to strictly control the lighting time. The light intensity is generally 15 watts - 25 watts, the light is 2 meters above the ground and the light is 3 meters.


Feeding density with reasonable stocking density is an important condition to ensure the health and growth of the flock, because the density is directly related to the air, humidity and sanitation in the brooding house. When the density of chicks is high, the air in the brooding house is dirty and the ammonia smell is high; the humidity is high,the sanitation environment is poor, the food is crowded; the water grabs the material, the hunger and the hunger are uneven, the number of the chicks increases, the chicks are kept at a low density, and the chicks grow and develop. It is beneficial, but it is not conducive to the full utilization of equipment and the rational use of labor. The cost of raising each chicken is correspondingly increased, and the cost is high and uneconomical.

 

Therefore, the density of chicks is not as small as possible in Chicken Battery Farm Equipment For Sale. The general situation is 30 per square meter for the first week, 25 for the second week, 20 for the third week, 15 for the fourth week, and about 10 for five or six weeks.

Key points of management before the opening of hens in the cage

When using the layer battery cages to raise the layer, the farmers can improve the laying performance of the layer by managing the pre-production layer. However, during this period of time, the physiological changes of laying hens are more serious, sensitive, weak in adaptation and poor in disease resistance. If farmers do not manage properly, it will affect the health of laying hens and egg production. Poultry farming equipment suppliers advise farmers to pay attention to the following management points before layer opening.

1. Immunization: Farmers should be vaccinated before laying hens, and immunization is essential to prevent the occurrence of disease during the laying period. The source of the vaccination should be reliable, well preserved, the vaccination operation is correct, and the dose is accurate. After inoculation, check the inoculation effect, and if necessary, carry out antibody testing to ensure the immunization effect, so that the flock has sufficient antibody levels to prevent the disease.

2. Deworming: Before the laying hens start, the farmers should do a good job of deworming. 110-130 days old chicken, 20-40 mg per liter of body weight with levamisole, or 200-300 mg of sputum, mixed with the mixture once a day for 2 days to remove the mites. Each kilogram of body weight is treated with thiodichlorophenol 100-200 mg, and the mixture is fed once a day for 2 days to drive the mites. When the coccidia oocysts are seriously polluted, the anticoccidial drugs should be used for 5-6 days after being basketed.

3. Illumination: The light has a great influence on the reproductive function of the chicken. Appropriate illumination in advance, so that the laying time of the laying hen is properly advanced, which is conducive to reducing the cost of feeding. Flocks that meet the requirements or are slightly larger than the standard weight can increase the number of hours of light to 13 hours at 16-17 weeks of age, and then increase by 20 minutes per week until the number of hours of light reaches 16 hours. Light stimulation should be initiated at 18-20 weeks of age. The number of hours of illumination should increase gradually. If the sudden increase of illumination time is too long, it may cause prolapse. The light intensity should be appropriate. It should not be too strong or too weak. It is too strong to produce sputum. If it is too weak, it will not stimulate.

4. Rearing: Feeding before the start of production not only affects the increase in egg production rate and the peak duration of egg production, but also affects the rate of death.

1) Replace the feed at the right time. The deposition of calcium in bones is the strongest 2 weeks before the start of production. In order to increase the yield of hens, reduce the breakage rate of eggs, and reduce the occurrence of fatigue in laying hens, the content of calcium in the diet should be 0.9% from the age of 17 weeks. Increase to 2.5%; when the egg production rate reaches 20%-30%, replace the laying hen diet with 3.5% calcium.

2) To ensure feed intake. Free feeding should be resumed before the birth, so that the chickens are full, ensuring balanced nutrition and promoting the increase in egg production rate.

3) To ensure drinking water. At the time of production, the metabolism of the chicken is strong, and the amount of water required is large, so it is necessary to ensure sufficient drinking water. Insufficient drinking water will affect the increase in egg production rate, and there will be more rectal prolapse.

The above four points are the author's statement. The management points of the laying hens before they are opened are expected to attract the attention of the farmers so as to increase the laying rate of the laying hens.

Chicken manure treatment in chicken farms

When the number of chickens raised is large, large-scale chicken poultry farming equipment should be used. There is a lot of chicken manure in chicken farms. The cleaning of manure in chicken houses is an important task. Chicken manure has many harmful germs. Microorganisms, if not cleaned up properly or improperly cleaned, can cause pollution to the house, causing the flock to become sick. Therefore, cleaning equipment is very important, and it is necessary to ventilate in time.

 

 

There are two types of common house cleaning equipment: scraper-type faeces, and the other is track-cleaning. What is the difference between the two types of septic equipment?

 

 

 

Scraper-type faeces:

The slower scraping of the manure will cause an instantaneous change in the environment inside the house. The normal scraper walks 2m~3m per minute. If the following conditions are encountered, the scraping time will be longer: the chicken house is too long; the nylon rope is too thin; the nylon rope is too loose; the nylon rope is wet; the reducer wheel groove wears wide; The board is too light; the manure is not straight and uneven. The above reasons will lead to a multiplication of the decontamination time, and a large change in the temperature and humidity in the room. The stool is thicker or the feathers in the young chicken manure are more difficult to scrape, the feces remain in the fermentation, and the harmful gases exceed the standard when scraping the feces. There is a large gap between the ladder cages.

Track cleaning:

The crawler decontamination method is mostly used in high-density stacked cages, and is also suitable for chicken manure treatment in the step-type mechanized cage raising of chickens. The cleanness of the whole cleaning system is high, which can greatly reduce the concentration of harmful gases in the house, reduce the ventilation in the house, reduce the energy consumption and prolong the service life of the fan; thus the temperature of the house is also improved. It reduces the energy consumption of chickens and improves the performance of chickens; chicken manure is relatively dry, easy to handle and deep processing.

 

 


Farmers can choose different dehumidification equipment according to their battery cage for chickens, as long as they can clean the chicken manure from the chicken coop, and promptly ventilate and give the chicken house a good living environment. Can bring better farming benefits.

How to choose the appropriate layer cage specifications and materials?

Each device has a different specification for each device. Equipment such as egg cages, because of the variety of sizes, there are many types of egg cage specifications. How can farmers choose the right size? This depends on the area of the farmer's own chicken house. The farmers can consult the technicians of the poultry equipment manufacturer. The technicians will recommend you, and the quality poultry farming equipment manufacturers can also customize the equipment.

Layer chicken cages are the basic equipment for laying hens, so it is very important to choose the proper size and material of the layer battery cage. So how to choose the egg cage? The author will introduce:

1. Usually layer rearing equipment are divided into two types: battery and stepped. Different types have four different sizes. Calculate the appropriate egg cage specifications according to the area of your house.

2. When purchasing the layer chicken cage, the farmer should pay attention to the design of the angle of the egg at the bottom of the cage. The angle of the egg should be accurate. If the angle is not suitable, the egg will not come out. Or the angle is too big and the eggs are struck by each other. The general suitable angle is around 7-8 degrees. The farmers should pay special attention when purchasing.

3. When purchasing the layer cage, pay attention to the connection between the egg cage and the bottom cage of the layer cage. The point of the connection should be fine, and there should not be too much clearance. If the gap is too large, it may cause the egg to fall, which will affect the efficiency of the chicken farm.

4. The most important point is the choice of layer chicken cage material. When observing, the farmer should pay attention to check whether the wire of the egg cage is tough. The egg cage with better toughness will not scratch or damage the laying hen.

The above five points are introduced by the author, and some points for the farmers to choose the size and material of the egg cage. I hope that I can help the farmers, if there is any doubt about the egg cage, the farmers consult the professionals of the poultry equipment manufacturers.

Management techniques for chickens in chicken cages

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.

Management points for successful breeding of chickens in chicken houses

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.

Main points of construction of broiler chicken cages

With the increasingly fierce competition in the broiler breeding market and the gradual improvement of farmers' modernization awareness, more and more farmers are shifting to standardized and large-scale breeding models. The construction of the chicken house is carried out by using broiler rearing equipment, which has become the breeding method of the current farmers. So how should farmers build when building a chicken house?

1. Site selection: avoiding aquaculture-intensive areas with good water quality.

2. Feeding mode: “bred breeding” and “laying eggs” in two stages.

3. Chicken house construction: It is recommended to raise the scale of each house from 1.5 to 20,000. The use of closed chicken houses and broiler rearing equipment. Cement floor, white cement on the wall, automatic drinking water, feeding, ventilation, and defecation.

First, the overall layout of the chicken farm:

1. General principles: from the perspective of facilitating epidemic prevention and organizational production. The divisional layout of the field area is the production area, office area, living area, auxiliary production area, and sewage treatment area.

2. Arrangement principle: According to the dominant wind direction, the topography and water flow direction are living area, office area, auxiliary production area, production area and sewage treatment area. If the terrain is inconsistent with the wind direction, the dominant wind direction is dominant.

Second, the layout of the chicken farm: the overall planning should consider the factors such as the orientation of the chicken house, the spacing of the house, the road, sewage, fire prevention and epidemic prevention. The recommended design of 100,000 large-scale chicken farms equipment is recommended to be arranged in 6 single or double row chicken houses. The single chicken house is 16,000 closed chicken houses. It is equipped with four rows of four aisles and three-tiered ladder cages. Curtains, ventilated windows, mechanical cleaning, mechanical feeding and automatic lighting, automatic drinking water system.

1. Single-roof house orientation: It adopts east-west or east-north (or west) 15 degrees, which is conducive to improving the winter temperature and avoiding summer solar radiation, using the dominant wind direction to improve the ventilation conditions of the house.

2. Chicken house spacing: two types of single-row houses and double-row houses. The spacing of the chicken houses is 10 to 20 meters for brooding and 10 to 15 meters for laying hens.

3. Chicken farm road: The chicken farm road is divided into two types: clean road and dirty road. The net road is used for transporting feed, flocks and eggs in the field. The dirt is used to transport feces, dead chickens and sick chickens. The two must not be used interchangeably.

The above is the author's summary of the construction of broiler cages based on the information provided by poultry equipment manufacturers.

How long is the life of the layer chicken cage?

As for the age of the egg chicken cage, this question will often be asked when the farmers consult. High-quality poultry farming equipment manufacturers use advanced hot-dip galvanizing technology, corrosion resistance, aging resistance, long life, strong and beautiful. For normal repair and maintenance, it can be used for 15-20 years.

However, after some farmers buy it back, the layer chicken cage is no longer in control. Only when the equipment is broken, the chicken production management is delayed, and the maintenance is considered. This will definitely reduce the life of the equipment. Therefore, farmers should regularly maintain the equipment and find problems in a timely manner, otherwise it will bring more economic losses in the future. The author summarizes several ways and means of equipment maintenance to share with farmers.

Layer chicken battery cages are a popular form of laying hens at home and abroad. The reason is that the design of the egg cages provides a comfortable environment for the chickens to play a better role in the feeding process. The main advantage of the design of the egg cage is in the front net and the cage door. The density of the cage feeding and the angle of the egg are more evident in the interests of the chicken.

The daily maintenance of the layer chicken cage is the basic work of the maintenance of the laying equipment, and must be maintained in a timely and effective manner.

First of all, the inside and outside of the layer chicken battery cages are neat and tidy. It is necessary to ensure that there are no oil on each sliding surface, screw, rack, gear box, oil hole, etc., no oil leakage, no air leakage, debris, debris and dirt around the equipment. The objects should be cleaned; the tools, accessories, and workpieces (products) should be placed neatly, the pipes and lines should be organized; the lubrication should be well-filled or oil-changed, the oil should be constantly oiled, and there should be no dry friction. The oil pressure is normal, the oil mark is bright, and the oil path is smooth. The oil quality meets the requirements, the oil gun, oil cup and linoleum are clean; the safety operation rules are obeyed, the equipment is not overloaded, the safety protection device of the equipment is complete and reliable, and the unsafe factors are eliminated in time.

Fully automatic chicken equipment to raise chicken details

In order to improve the efficiency of chicken breeding and increase the economic benefits in the later period, many farmers choose to use the broiler equipment in the automatic poultry farming equipment for breeding in the process of raising broilers. In order to make full use of the advantages of the farming equipment, we need to pay attention to the details of the farming equipment.

 

The first is the choice of chicks. When feeding chickens in chicken coops, we have to pick some good chicks. Although cheap chicks can save costs, there will be a lot of trouble in the later breeding, poor quality chicks. It will cause a large number of deaths and lead to failed farming. Ventilation in the house and control of temperature and humidity, many farmers often forget to ventilate the house during the feeding process, especially in the cold winter, in order to keep the temperature in the house is not reduced, often For ten days and a half, the house is not ventilated, resulting in a decrease in the air quality in the house, causing illness and death in the flock. Therefore, in the process of breeding, the farmers should give the house a regular ventilation and ventilation while maintaining the temperature and humidity of the house.

 

 

 

Immunization of chickens is an important part of the chicken raising process, but often many farmers choose small businesses to buy vaccines and then inject them into the chickens when they are immunized. Not only will it not have a beneficial effect on the growth of the flock but will also have an adverse effect on the flock. Some farmers adopt self-injection methods when vaccinating chickens. Some farmers do not understand the injection, which leads to the failure of injection or the improper treatment of the chickens due to improper methods during the injection process, thus affecting the chickens. The group grows healthy. Therefore, farmers should not only choose the right time to vaccinate the chickens, but also go to the normal pharmaceutical factory to purchase the drugs, and take the correct injection method for injection.

 

 

The above are some small details of chickens in automatic chicken equipment poultry farming cage. I hope that I can give some help to the farmers and better raise chickens.

Selection techniques for farmers when purchasing broiler cages

Chicken cage is the most important equipment in the whole chicken raising process. The quality of the chicken cage can directly affect the development of layer and broiler and the rate of egg production and meat production. Farmers should choose suitable poultry farming equipment for breeding according to the variety of chickens. The authors refer to the recommendations of poultry farming equipment manufacturers to explain the skills of several farmers when purchasing chicken cage equipment.

1. The size of the grid of the bottom cage of the metal cage depends on the diameter of the short axis of the egg and the size of the chicken claw. The mesh should not be too dense. The excessive density not only affects the leakage of manure, but also increases the cost of the chicken cage. The spacing of the warp wire of the bottom net should not be greater than 2/3 of the short axis of the egg, generally 24 to 26 mm; the spacing of the weft should be no more than 2/3 of the length of the chicken claw, usually less than 50 mm.

2. The bottom net is an important part of the chicken cage. It is necessary to bear the weight of the chicken, and it is easy for the eggs laid by the chicken to roll off the egg trough in the front of the net to avoid damage. At the same time, most of the manure can leak to the ground and reduce the pollution of the bottom net.

3. Also ensure that the chicken feet are easy to grasp the wire and stand and walk stably and comfortably. Therefore, the bottom net must have a certain strength, elasticity, inclination and empty space, and the material selection and manufacturing requirements are strict. Generally, the bottom mesh material is made of 2.0-2.5 mm diameter low carbon steel welding wire, and the solder joints should be firm; the grid spacing should be uniform; the tilt height difference is 12% to 14%. For the eggs to smoothly roll, the vertical wire of the bottom net should be made. In the upper part, the transverse wire is in the lower part.

4. The front net and the front net of the cage door are the net wall located in the front part of the chicken cage. The main structural size of the front net is vertical steel wire. The spacing should not only ensure the movement of the chicken head, but also the chicken, 50-65 mm. The front net is only as far as the bottom net. Slightly larger than the diameter of the short axis of the egg, usually 50 mm, spelled out of the cage. In the design, you should pay attention to the size of each one to avoid the chicken head, but not to run the chicken. The soil is inclined downward, and the inclination of the lower side of the dish is the same as that of the bottom net.

The above is the purchase skill of the farmers when choosing the chicken battery cage equipment. The popularity of the cage mode is more convenient for mechanized operations, which can greatly improve labor productivity, which greatly reduces the labor costs. At the same time, it can also be scientifically managed to achieve better economic benefits. It is made of softer steel wire and is more suitable for feeding egg broilers. It has the advantage of being able to bring better economic benefits to farmers.

Summer chicken precautions in chicken battery cage

The summer weather is hot and the chickens are particularly sensitive to temperature. Every summer, the chickens are hot and the egg production is decreasing. Moreover, the chicken is kept in the chicken battery cages . Therefore, in the summer, the most important thing is to pay attention to the chicken to cool down, change the water frequently, strengthen the hygiene management, and let the chickens spend the summer comfortably.

 

 

 

 

Add insulation to the house to improve insulation, or build a layer of shade cloth outside the house to reduce the temperature inside the house. A fan or the like can be installed in the house to cool down. Increase the ventilation of the house, and in the summer, you need to reduce the amount of feeding. The feed to the chicken needs to be taken a small number of times in order to avoid contamination caused by eating and causing chicken disease.

Precautions for raising laying hens when using layer cages

The temperature and air quality vary from season to season. Therefore, in order to enable the laying hens to produce more eggs and increase the income of the breeding, the farmers need to nurse the laying hens during the season to ensure that they can produce more eggs and increase economic benefits. Today, the author refers to the experience of the poultry farming equipment manufacturer, to introduce the farmers to some matters that should be paid attention to during the nursery.

1. Appropriate increase in lighting time. Natural light is prolonged in spring and summer, and natural light is gradually reduced in the fall and winter. Therefore, it is necessary to give the laying hens a moderate amount of light. The poultry equipment manufacturer reminds farmers to use 3 lux for the ground light intensity when supplementing the laying hens. The lights are turned on twice a day. The first time the lights are turned on at 4-5 am until dawn, the second time the lights are turned on until 20-21 in the dark, and the lights are turned on during the rainy weather.

2. Increase the nutrition of the feed. Spring is the season for laying hens with high egg production. At this time, new laying hens need to be supplemented with nutrient-rich feed to increase their yield. In the autumn, because the laying hens have experienced a long egg laying period and a hot summer season, the chicken body is fatigued. At this time, it is necessary to feed more animal protein feed and add multivitamins to the feed.

3. Adjust the flock. Timely elimination of some of the valueless laying hens, such as low egg production, discontinued chickens, weak chickens, stiff chickens, short peak egg production, and severe convulsions.

4. Force moulting. By forced moulting, the laying hens can be simultaneously moulted and started. Manual forced moulting can add 2.5% zinc oxide or 4% zinc sulfate to the laying hen's diet. Water can not be stopped during the feeding of high-quality diets, and the time of light can be reduced to 6-8 hours per day.

5. Deworming at the right time. In the autumn of the year, it is the best time for laying hens to deworm. The farmers can use levamisole hydrochloride and sputum to remove insects.
