Chicken pecking disease is a very common phenomenon in large-scale farming. Due to improper feeding and management, the density of chickens is too large, or the feed mix is improper, and the chickens lack essential nutrients. Chicken pecking happens. The main manifestations are: pecking anus, pecking feathers, pecking eggs, pecking toes, pecking head and so on. Once an individual appears, it is easy to infect the group, resulting in disability and even death. And how to prevent and treat chicken pecking disease, let the chicken cage manufacturer tell you.

一， How to prevent

1. Pay attention to the stocking density when using poultry battery cages. The flock should not be too crowded, and the coop should be cleaned frequently. Separate the groups, especially the chickens that like to peck at random, isolate them and feed them separately. The temperature of the brooding room should be moderate to ensure that the young chickens can have a spacious venue for full exercise.

2. Feed the chickens on time every day and provide enough water for the chickens. The feed should not be too simple to ensure the intake of amino acids, minerals and vitamins for chickens.

3. Pay attention to good ventilation in the house to reduce the content of harmful gases in the house.

4. Control the humidity to avoid crowding, irritability and pecking addiction of chickens caused by environmental discomfort.

5. Cut off the beak, cut toes, and cut the crown in time to improve the structure of the chicken cage.

6. An egg-laying box is installed in the hen house to prevent the occurrence of egg pecking and anus pecking.

二 Treatment methods

1. For chickens already suffering from pecking addiction and pecking chickens, timely select, isolate and feed them separately. To prevent the occurrence of re-proliferation, the spread of vices.

2. Reasonably reduce and control the density of chicken raising, and pay attention to the hygienic cleaning and regular disinfection of the chicken house.

3. For feather pecking caused by insufficient calcium sulfate in the feed, natural gypsum can be ground into powder and added to the feed, 0.5~3 grams per chicken per day. For vicious habits such as toe pecking, anus pecking or wing pecking caused by lack of minerals or table salt, appropriate amount of table salt can be added to the grain feed for treatment. However, it cannot be fed for a long time, otherwise salt poisoning can easily occur.

In addition, better automatic chicken raising equipment can also effectively reduce the occurrence of the above situation. 

Chicken cage manufacturers are here to remind you that implementing scientific breeding methods, building a comfortable growth environment, providing better feeding feeds, and systematic and standard personnel management can reduce the occurrence of various emergencies and ensure the healthy growth of chickens. Improve the economic efficiency of chicken farms.

Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is a weak alkaline substance that has been widely used in the food industry, sanitation and family life. Today, the chicken cage manufacturers will introduce the use of baking soda in chicken production, and its common functions will now be introduced for the reference of farmers.

1. Increase the egg production rate: People have experimented that feeding a feed containing 0.1~0.5% baking soda in an environment with a temperature of 25~30°C can increase the egg production rate of laying hens and improve the quality of eggshells.
2. Anti-heat stress: In the early stage of heat stress, chickens will cause metabolic acidosis due to heat. Drinking water with baking soda can effectively reduce the symptoms of acidosis and play an anti-heat stress role.
3. Promote broiler growth: Adding 0.1~0.5% baking soda to broiler feed can promote its growth rate and improve chicken quality.
4. Stomach strengthening: Adding baking soda to the feed can neutralize excess gastric acid, dissolve mucus, increase feed intake and improve digestibility.
5. Treatment of gizzard erosion: Due to the excessive secretion of gastric acid caused by histamine substances, the glandular stomach becomes inflamed and gizzard erodes. Baking soda can effectively relieve symptoms and promote recovery.

The above is the role of baking soda in automated poultry farms shared by poultry equipment manufacturers for farmers.

The gradual improvement of people's living standards has led to the development of poultry farming, and more and more people have joined chicken farming. Eggs and chicken products are our daily food and will appear in every family, so there is still a market for poultry farming. So what do newbies need to pay attention to when raising chickens? Today I will take you to find out.

First of all, pay attention to choosing a good chicken farm address: the first step in raising chickens is to build a chicken farm. The location of the chicken farm is very important. Farmers where the chicken farm is located should pay attention to choosing a dry place with full sun. Drainage is convenient, and attention should be paid to water source, water quality, power supply, transportation, etc., in order to better complete the chicken raising work.

Second, pay attention to preparing suitable automatic chicken raising equipment: all kinds of equipment are inseparable from the chicken industry. Chicken raising equipment can better improve the efficiency of raising chickens. Generally, the necessary chicken breeding equipment includes: battery chicken cages, feeding equipment, drinking water equipment, manure cleaning equipment, egg collection equipment and fan wet curtain equipment.

Third, pay attention to the selection of chicks: chicks are the first step in breeding chickens. The quality of chickens selected by farmers is related to the growth and production of future chickens, and high-quality chicks will be more important in future breeding management. Otherwise, such problems will occur in the process of raising chicks, which not only wastes the farmer's management time, but also wastes the cost of reproduction.

Fourth, pay attention to learning feeding management techniques: feeding management can directly affect the growth and production performance of laying hens. Farmers should pay attention to different chicken breeds, and different growth periods have different feeding points. Farmers must carefully study the growth characteristics and feeding points of different chicken flocks in different growth periods. Feeding points include: environmental control, feeding work, feed nutrition, disease prevention and regular disinfection.

Fifth, pay attention to disinfection before feeding: Before entering the chicken house, you should pay attention to thoroughly disinfect the chicken house in advance. Even if the farmhouse is new, there will be dust and bacteria that will affect the health of the chicken coop. After disinfection is complete, farmers must pay attention to preheating and insulation before entering the house. Growth requires relatively high temperatures to avoid chills when chicks enter the house produce an uncomfortable reaction.

The above is what poultry equipment manufacturers share what they need to start a poultry farming project as a novice. I hope that interested farmers can read it carefully.

In the process of raising laying hens, there are generally two types of equipment that can be used to raise laying hens, namely A-type layer chicken cages and H-type layer chicken cages. Below, we will introduce these two kinds of equipment in detail.

First of all, let's get to know the A-type layer chicken battery cages. When using this equipment to raise laying hens, the flock has a large space for movement, and it is more convenient to open the chicken coop. At the same time, when using this equipment for feeding The light level is relatively good. Generally, you only need to use natural light to see the situation in the chicken house during the day.

In addition, let's get to know the H-type layer chicken battery cages. This equipment, as the name suggests, stacks the chicken cages layer by layer. When using this equipment to raise laying hens, it can fully realize automatic feeding. Therefore, it is convenient to It can reduce manual labor, and at the same time, it is more convenient to clean the chicken manure, so that the chicken manure can be cleaned in time, thereby bringing a clean and hygienic growth environment to the chickens.

The above content is a detailed introduction to the automatic chicken raising equipment. I hope it can help poultry farmers to understand more about the current poultry farming equipment.

More and more chicken farms are using automatic chicken raising equipment. Using this equipment can not only reduce manual labor, but also effectively improve the economic benefits of chicken farms. However, when using modern poultry farming equipment for raising chickens, it is also necessary to do their maintenance work, so that these equipment can be used for a long time.

When we use automatic chicken breeding equipment, we can add butter to the motor shaft of the equipment for maintenance, and at the same time, we can also put a few drops of vegetable oil on the motor barrel parts to prevent the parts from rusting. In addition, in the process of using these equipment, it is necessary to check regularly, especially the tightening of the screws of the lifting system and whether the buckle of the feeding line is damaged. If any abnormality is found, it should be repaired in time.

The second point is that when poultry farmers maintain their poultry equipment, they should ensure that the inside and outside of the cage are clean, and the sliding surfaces, lead screws, racks, gear boxes and other parts are free of oil, gas and oil leakage, and the debris around the equipment, Dirt clean up.

In addition, the heating equipment in the automatic chicken raising equipment also needs to be maintained. Generally, too much coal cannot be added at one time when using the heating equipment, otherwise the temperature in the chicken house will easily become too high. At the same time, attention should also be paid to cleaning the heating equipment in time. of dust.

The above content is the maintenance work of automated chicken raising equipment shared by poultry equipment manufacturers. Of course, the maintenance work of these equipment is more than the above content. If you want to know more, you can go to our website to browse more content.

Maintaining good health of poultry flocks is the primary goal of any producer, not only because of the majority of poultry farming industries using battery cage systems today, but also because healthy flocks can translate into profitable flocks.

Despite all the progress made in the prevention and control of infectious diseases, it remains difficult to keep commercial poultry facilities completely disease-free. Commercial poultry farms continue to be affected by the emergence of new or mutated disease agents. Disease is often the cause of mortality, as well as reduced growth rates and egg production in poultry flocks, resulting in reduced economic returns to producers.

The first is to clean the chicken house. Once the flock is removed from the house, it should be cleaned while the manure is moist. Because stool is easier to remove when it is still moist. In addition, the longer the coop is dry, the less bacteria there are when the next flock enters the coop.

The second point is to pay attention to the hygiene of poultry drinking water. Contaminated drinking water can severely affect the immune system of poultry and can cause suffering and disease due to continued exposure to this high infection rate. Due to the rapid development of modern poultry farming equipment, the automatic chicken drinking water system can provide sufficient and clean water for chickens and ensure the hygiene of drinking water for poultry. be widely used.

In any commercial poultry operation, flock health must be very good for maximum profitability. Health status is often directly related to the comprehensiveness of the biosecurity program implemented in the operation. It should also be noted that the ability of a bird's immune system is critical.

The above is the need for modern poultry farms shared by poultry equipment manufacturers to strengthen strict control over the hygiene of chicken houses and the hygiene of poultry drinking water. Keeping poultry healthy can create income for chicken farmers.

Which type of house lighting is suitable? How to arrange it properly? Many farmers are not clear about this issue, and some farmers even ignore the problem of lighting equipment in chicken farms. The fully automated chicken raising equipment manufacturer would like to give you a brief analysis of the lighting problems of the chicken farm.

Poultry equipment manufacturers found that many chicken farms are currently using energy-saving lamps. Because the service life of energy-saving lamps is not long, some farmers will add a spherical lampshade to the lamp to play the role of waterproof and dustproof, and prolong the service life of the lighting lamp.

Here, the manufacturer would like to remind everyone that for the laying hen house in the battery chicken cages, the lighting devices should be arranged as high and low as possible, and try not to install them on the same horizontal line.

Some farms will specially install lighting and dimming equipment, and use LED lights to adjust the light intensity of the chicken farm. The lighting equipment in the fully automated chicken breeding equipment has two installation methods: DC dimming and AC dimming, which is easy to install and operate. welcomed by all,

The most common thing in poultry farms now is the automated layer cage system. After raising chickens for a long time, farmers all know that chickens will have respiratory symptoms when they catch a cold. At the same time, the resistance of chickens will also decrease. At the same time, it will induce a large number of secondary infections, such as Escherichia coli, Newcastle disease and so on. Through our careful summary, we found that chickens are much more likely to catch a cold at night than during the day. What is the main reason for this?

Poor management.

The farmers have a better understanding of the local weather, and close the vents at night to reduce the ventilation volume and ensure the temperature of the chicken house. But after a busy day, people are more tired, and it is easy to doze off, causing the chicken to catch a cold. Sometimes, the weather changes suddenly, and the farmers do not reduce ventilation in time, and cold stress can also occur, causing the chickens to catch cold. Chickens are even more difficult to manage when they are cold-stressed for various reasons and have a cold. Especially in the case of high-density breeding with battery chicken cages, the ambient air quality of the chicken house is poor, and pathogenic bacteria spread rapidly through the air, and chickens will soon develop secondary infection.

Decreased activity

Farmers rest at night, and the chickens we manage will also rest at night. At this time, the activity of the chicken is reduced, and the heat generated by itself is also reduced. Chickens are more sensitive to outside temperature. In this case, chickens are more likely to catch colds when the temperature is the same during the day and at night.

night observation

Many farmers are prone to management errors when they are tired at night. Pay special attention to the flock at night, especially after two o'clock in the evening. After the chicken rests at night, it is relatively quiet. We go into the house to observe the flocks, and we can get a good understanding of the respiratory symptoms and the feces of the flocks. It can detect the abnormal situation of chickens in time and control the disease quickly.

Poultry equipment manufacturers share the reasons why laying hens are prone to colds at night, so farmers must immunize their flocks to prevent this from happening, and usually strengthen the feeding and management of chickens to ensure adequate nutrition and improve the disease resistance of chickens.

At present, the demand for chicken and chicken products in the market is getting higher and higher, and it is worth investing in a chicken raising project. If you want to raise chickens to make money, farmers not only need to devote themselves to the flock but also need other work. 

The first is to build the chicken house. First of all, you need to determine whether to breed broilers or laying hens, and then build according to the breed.

Selection of chicks. To start poultry farming, the choice of chicks is the main first step for you to make money or not to make money. Chicken chicks are living things, and you must not buy which one is cheap! Because chick manufacturers are not stupid, there are many reasons for the cheap price. Farmers must be careful to buy these pits on the way of chicks, and they will have endless troubles! When selecting chicks, blind, paralyzed, disabled chicks, deformed chicks, and too small and weak chicks should be removed and eliminated. Of course, the characteristics of each variety should also be strictly selected according to the requirements.

Buy automatic chicken raising equipment. The use of poultry equipment makes raising chickens a much simpler task, which can reduce labor costs. Automatic management of the chicken house, farmers do not have to worry about feeding, drinking water, cleaning manure, collecting eggs, suitable for environmental management. Automated poultry equipment systems can all be done.

Flock feeding management. You need to learn how to handle and manage epidemics, emergencies. Incorrect feeding determines whether your flock can grow healthily.

Sales. For the breeding industry, sales are a big problem, and no one can recycle it has become a big problem. For self-raised farmers, in fact, the market for broilers and eggs is still quite large. In the sales process, we promote fast sales, and we can't wait for the market to improve, otherwise we will gradually fall into it.

The above is the basic process of raising chickens shared by poultry equipment manufacturers. If you want to make money through poultry farming projects, you need your efforts.

Advantage.

• The number of laying hens raising in battery chicken cages is 3 to 5 times larger than that of flat laying hens, and the full use of the site area improves the stocking density and work efficiency.
• The use of multi-layer chicken cage technology for caged laying hens can make full use of space and facilitate management. In the case of a small number of breeding by this method, it is not necessary to set up special breeding personnel, and the feed can be added before going to get off work. That's it, and other time can be used for egg picking, manure cleaning, etc.
• Using this method can save feed and reduce waste of feed. Because laying hens eat, exercise and rest in the cage, more reasonable feeding and water feeding methods are adopted during feeding, and it is not easy to cause the phenomenon of feeding waste. The consumption of each feed is about 25g less than that of free-range laying hens, which can save about 20% of the feed. For large-scale laying hens, it can significantly improve the economic benefits of breeding.
• It is convenient for the prevention and control of diseases. The laying hens live in the chicken cages, and the feces fall into the ground through the gaps, which avoids the direct contact between the laying hens and the feces, thereby reducing the occurrence of diseases.
• In addition, due to the fixed position of laying hens, when individual laying hens are sick, it is easy to locate the sick chickens in isolation and raise and treat them. At the same time, it can reduce the chance of infection of other healthy chickens and effectively control the development of the disease. The egg production rate of caged laying hens is relatively stable, because it is less affected by changes in external natural conditions.
• Raised in the house, the breeding environment is relatively stable, which reduces the disturbance of the bad environment, so that the egg production rate is relatively stable, and the surface of the eggs produced is clean and there is less manure.

Shortcoming.

Although caged laying hens have many advantages, they also have certain disadvantages.

• The egg production in this breeding mode is relatively less than that of flat laying hens. Because a large number of poultry layer cages are required for breeding, the breeding cost is increased, and the production investment is relatively large.
• Under cage conditions, the movement of laying hens is hindered, insufficient exercise and other factors, the appearance and bone development of laying hens are poor, and the quality of eggs will also be affected. Annual egg production is prone to egg production fatigue and affects the survival rate and production performance of laying hens.
