Large-scale poultry farming needs to solve 4 major problems

In the process of raising poultry, we found that many poultry households often have some loopholes in the breeding process, resulting in low breeding efficiency and even outbreaks of diseases and losses.

1. Site selection problem.

In addition to choosing a leeward sun, a place with high terrain and convenient water and electricity, the chicken farm should pay special attention to the distance from other chicken farms. In areas where broiler feeding is concentrated, there is a problem that the distance between the houses is too small and the environmental pollution is serious. Some chicken houses are only a few meters apart, and there is no isolation measure, which is easy to spread the disease. Some farmers have a weak awareness of epidemic prevention. After the chicken manure is cleared, they are piled up on the main road and become a great source of pollution, posing a potential threat to their own chicken houses and other chicken houses in the community.

2. Implement the issue of all-in, all-out.

Many large-scale laying hens often raise more than two batches of laying hens at the same time. In order to make the supply of eggs uninterrupted, they often purchased the second batch of chicks before the first batch of laying hens were eliminated. The chicken houses and the site could not be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, which easily caused the chickens to develop.

3. Health system issues.

Most of the farmer's chickens are family-based, and the main labor force is both a breeder and a salesman. Due to the weak awareness of epidemic prevention, they often slam the door to each other, do not disinfect the chicken house, and have no disinfection facilities at the door. In addition, after going to the market to sell chicken and eggs, it will not enter the chicken house without thorough disinfection. There are also chicken farms that smear dead chickens and even eat dead chickens. These behaviors bring great hidden dangers to chickens and are prone to outbreaks. Although most farmers pay more attention to the environmental control within the house, they ignore the control of the outside environment. Such as sick and dead chickens, discarded, mosquitoes and other breeding. In order to reduce the pathogenic microorganisms in the environment, the on-site environmental disinfection and regular disinfection of the chickens should be carried out regularly, the sanitary corners in the field should be cleaned, the mosquitoes and flies should be eliminated, and the mosquitoes and breeding grounds should be eliminated.

4. Medication problem.

In terms of preventive medication, some farmers are not targeted, and they are often administered continuously throughout the feeding cycle, resulting in increased feeding costs and emergence of resistant strains. Once the chickens are ill, it is difficult to control effectively. After the onset of the flock, the antibacterial and antiviral drugs are used in large doses (or insufficient doses) without any diagnosis. The same “universal prescription” is used for almost any disease, which not only causes an increase in the cost of breeding, but also causes the flock to appear. Drug resistance. In order to better control the condition, it should be diagnosed by a powerful veterinary station, rationally used according to the diagnosis of veterinarians, and strictly control the dosage and course of treatment.

In fact, from a long-term perspective, if farmers plan to breed poultry on a large scale, it is best to use chicken battery cages. The current automatic poultry breeding equipment is completely controlled by automation, has the characteristics of convenient operation, high labor production efficiency and high economic efficiency, and is very suitable for large-scale broiler chicken or laying hen culture. The short-term investment is to gain more benefits.
