How do chicken farmers build chicken houses?

Nowadays, there are chicken farming in many areas. Chickens can't be built without chickens, and there are many types of chicken houses. However, no matter what kind of feeding method, the existence of chicken houses is very necessary. The following article focuses on the basic requirements for building a chicken house.

 

1. With or without window design

Because the chicken's metabolism is relatively strong, in the chicken's metabolism process, the demand for gas is more, and the harmful gases are also discharged. In order to ensure the demand for fresh air in the flock, it is also more conducive to the discharge of harmful gases. Therefore, the ventilation conditions of the chicken house should be well done. If the chicken house is designed to have windows, it should be mainly ventilation, and if it is a windowless chicken. For the house, a fan is required for forced ventilation. When constructing a house, we must consider the design of the ventilation surface in advance.

 

2. Disinfection pool

In order to prevent and control various diseases and ensure the health of the chickens, daily sterilization and disinfection work is essential. Under normal circumstances, sterilization and disinfection are inseparable from water, and the sewage mixed with water and house debris needs to be easily discharged from the house. Therefore, this requires that the height of the house is higher than the height of the house, usually 0.2 to 0.3 meters higher. Around the house, we can design the drainage ditch, and the entrance to the house can also be set up with a disinfection tank.

 

 

3. Chicken house lighting

Light has a very important role in raising chickens, including heat preservation, growth promotion, sterilization and so on. Therefore, when building a chicken house, consider how to make better use of natural light and the setting of artificial lighting equipment. Considering that our country is in the northern hemisphere, the chicken house facing south is more conducive to light effects: the sun angle is very oblique in the winter to get more light, and the summer sun angle is straight, which can reduce the sun into the house.

 

4. Window protection

When building a chicken house, if you install a window, you should pay attention to the protection of the window, so as to prevent some birds and animals from entering the house, causing the chickens to panic or spread the disease. Wire mesh can usually be used to achieve protection.

The above is the basic design requirements for the construction of the chicken house. The premise of raising the chicken is the construction of the chicken house and chicken battery cages. The good chicken house is the key to successful chicken raising. Therefore, everyone can not be sloppy, if the chicken house is built during the above process. When you introduce the point, you can say that your house is no problem.
