In the process of choosing a breeding industry, you can see many breeders of laying hen cages. When building chicken coops, they will choose closed chicken coops, that is, there are no windows around them. Some farmers may keep a few small vents, and then use multi-layer cages to raise layers. So what are the advantages of using this type of hen house to breed layer and broiler chickens?

1. Closed chicken coop is easier to control the environment. The use of closed chicken houses to raise chickens and the preparation of some chicken equipment can better provide a comfortable growth and production environment for the flock, which meets the physiological and production needs of the chickens. The closed chicken house will not be affected by the natural environmental conditions, and the production is stable and safe. Through manual control operation technology, it is conducive to controlling the growth and development of chickens, sexual maturity and stimulating egg production cycle, which is convenient for monitoring the quality and quantity of chickens. Measures such as restricting feeding and forced moulting.

2. Can achieve intensive large-scale breeding. Farmers using closed-type chicken houses to breed laying hens can use multi-layer chicken cages to raise chickens, concentrate the farmers, and make reasonable use of the area of the chicken house to increase the number of chickens and increase the land utilization rate. The growth and production of chicken flocks can generally be controlled in accordance with the standard of chicken breeding, and a large-scale breeding mode can be realized.

3. Save manpower and reduce feeding costs. When using closed chicken coops for breeding, you can use equipment to complete the work of ventilation, light, humidity, even feeding, drinking water, and epidemic prevention, which can reduce the labor required in the breeding process. And the use of equipment to raise chickens is more advanced and efficient, and the artificial waste of feed will be greatly reduced, thereby improving the production efficiency and reducing the feeding cost.

4. Good isolation and disinfection, less cross-contamination. The enclosed chicken house is almost isolated from the outside world, so it will not be threatened by the outside environment and pathogens. At the same time, the disinfection and sterilization in the chicken house can be controlled in a certain space, so the chance of cross-contamination will be greatly reduced, which is conducive to the prevention and control of epidemics, especially major animal diseases.

5. Good disease control. Because the environment for keeping chickens in a closed house can be controlled better, the chickens are less likely to get disease. Compared with other types of chicken coops, even if the chickens are infected with the same blight, the environment inside the chicken coops makes the medicine more scientific and more effective, so the treatment is easier and the treatment cost is lower.

6. Can produce normally under extreme environment. Like the open chicken house in the past, if it encounters high temperature, high cold and high humidity, the flock will be seriously affected. However, the closed chicken coop is controlled by complete human conditions, no matter what extreme environment it encounters, it can use a lot of energy for human control, so it can still organize normal production when it encounters extreme environments.

These are some of the advantages that the author summarized and shared for farmers, using closed chicken coops for laying hens and broilers. It is precisely because of the various advantages in the past that many farmers have built closed chicken coops for breeding, laying a solid foundation for improving efficiency.

In the process of raising chickens in chicken farm equipment, the ventilation work of the chicken house is indispensable. Farmers must pay attention to the ventilation work of the chicken house. Reasonable ventilation can eliminate harmful gases in the chicken house, such as ammonia, carbon dioxide and other gases. Existence will seriously affect the healthy growth and production of broiler chickens. Ventilation can also circulate fresh air from the outside to the house. Ventilation has an impact on the health, growth and production performance of each flock. Let’s talk about the house Some points about ventilation.

1. Summer ventilation: The higher the relative humidity in the environment, the greater the possibility of causing heat stress to the chicken, and the temperature of the chicken body will increase as the heat accumulates. If the chicken can not be released from the high fever, its body temperature will continue to rise, which will cause the chicken's appetite to decline and egg production to stop, which will lead to the death of the chicken. The growth and production performance of broilers and laying hens are closely related to their comfort level. Flock density helps reduce heat stress caused by heat, improves chicken comfort, and thus improves production performance

2. Winter ventilation: fanless open chicken house: natural ventilation uses temperature differences, relative humidity and natural air flow to remove excess heat and moisture. However, factors such as the daily temperature of the outside world, the direction of the wind and the direction of the sun are constantly changing, so if the farmers use natural air for ventilation, they will not be able to achieve the effect, so if the farmers do not need to exhaust fans, It is recommended that the farmer's chicken coop should be built on a slope to facilitate air circulation.

In winter, closed chicken house farmers should close the water curtain equipment, only need to use the fan equipment, farmers can choose to use a fixed clock to control the operation of the fan, in this way, the chicken house can achieve thermal insulation while achieving The purpose of ventilation is to provide a comfortable growth environment for the flock in chicken battery cages .

The above is the summary of the chicken house ventilation. I hope the above description can help you. If you have other questions and want to consult, you can send us an email. We will contact you as soon as we receive the email. 

With the continuous expansion of breeders using laying hen cages, the feces cleaning work in the chicken house becomes more complicated. If the excrement is not cleaned thoroughly or in time, it will pose a great threat to the growth of the flock.

In the case of large-scale breeding, if the method of manual excrement removal is adopted, not only a lot of labor costs will be wasted, but it will also cause pollution to the chicken house due to the lack of timely cleaning. Therefore, in order to solve the disadvantage of manual manure removal, many farms are now using manure removal equipment to clean the manure in the chicken house. Now two kinds of manure removal equipment commonly used by farmers are scraper manure removal and belt manure removal. The following is a detailed introduction to these two types of equipment for farmers.

Scraper-type manure cleaner: Scraper-type manure cleaner is a device that uses a scraper to remove manure. It is mainly composed of electric motor, reducer, winch, wire rope, pulley, skateboard, and dung scraper. When the scraper-type manure cleaner is working, the winch is driven by the motor, and the sliding plate and the manure scraper are pulled through the wire rope to operate. When the wire rope is pulled forward, the skateboard and the dung scraper are in a vertical state, and they are close to the ground to scrape the dung. When the end point is reached, the sliding plate and the dung scraper hit the travel switch, causing the motor to reverse, and the sliding plate and the dung scraper also return. When returning, the skateboard and manure scraper are pulled by the wire rope behind them, and the manure scraper will be lifted over the manure pile so that the manure scraping will not be performed when retreating.

Belt manure cleaner: The belt manure cleaner is mainly composed of active roller, passive roller, idler roller and conveyor belt. When installing a belt-type manure cleaner, a conveyor belt needs to be installed under each layer of chicken cages, and the active rollers of the upper and lower conveyor belts can be driven by the same power during work. The feces produced by the chickens in the chicken cage will directly fall on the conveyor belt, and the human can regularly activate the switch of the conveyor belt to transport the chicken manure from one end of the poultry battery cages to the other. Then the scraper scrapes the feces in the cart, and then pushes away manually.

Many farmers are now using poultry farming equipment to raise chickens, but do you know the precautions when hatching chickens?

When the ambient temperature is high (above 30℃), the embryo has started to develop during the storage of the eggs, but the longer the condition is, the more disadvantageous it is for hatching.

First, although the development has begun, but the temperature has not reached the appropriate incubation temperature, the embryonic development at this time is difficult to normal;

Secondly, there is no chance that the embryo will stick to the eggshell without the egg turning operation.

Therefore, the shorter the storage time, the better. Incubation under high ambient temperature conditions, over-temperature is common, so cold egg operation can be performed when necessary. Usually shut down for 2-3 hours every day, move the egg cart out of the incubator to ventilate and cool the eggs. The downtime can be increased or decreased according to the ambient temperature.

When the ambient temperature is low (below 10℃), heat preservation is the first need, and the speed of dropping dishes and eggs should be accelerated as much as possible to reduce temperature loss. At the same time, the time from starting up to reaching the normal temperature of the hatching, and the time of returning to the normal hatching temperature after the egg is dropped, is much longer than that of the high ambient temperature. In order to compensate for the accumulated temperature of hatching lost during these times, the method of increasing the total number of hatching hours can be used.

The specific method is: through observation to understand the time from starting to reaching the set temperature in a certain ambient temperature range, and the time to return to normal temperature after the plate is dropped and the egg is taken.

Refer to these and determine the number of hours to increase incubation. The added time is less than the sum of the above three times, because most of these three times will not be lower than the critical temperature of incubation.

No matter which poultry equipment suppliers you are using, you should pay attention to these matters.

When using chicken battery cages to raise chickens, the vitamins required are composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and other elements. At present, most vitamins are manufactured artificially, and the price is relatively cheap. There are 14 kinds of vitamins related to chicken breeding, including vitamins A, D, E, K, C, B1, B2, B6, B12, biotin, folic acid, pantothenic acid, choline, and niacin, among which vitamins A, D, E, K is fat-soluble, and other vitamins are water-soluble.

In production, vitamins A, D, and E are expressed in international units (IU), while other vitamins are usually expressed in milligrams (mg).

Vitamins are neither energy substances nor structural substances. They are mainly in the form of coenzymes and catalysts, and are widely involved in various chemical reactions in the body's metabolism, thereby ensuring the normal structure and function of the chicken's tissues and organs, and maintaining the animal's health and production activities. When it is lacking, it can cause metabolic disorders of the body and affect normal growth and development and production performance.

For chickens, trace amounts of vitamins can not only meet growth and development and production needs, but also improve feed conversion efficiency, increase the daily weight gain, egg production and hatchability of chickens. Therefore, vitamins are commonly used as nutritional additives in the current chicken breeding process.

The above is the farmer. When using poultry cages system to raise chickens, you need to pay attention to the breeding knowledge. Hope it helps everyone.

The use of chicken battery cages to raise chickens is a popular way of raising chickens in the chicken industry. Chicken cages use multi-layer cages for raising chickens, which have a large number of breeding densities and are popular among farmers. When using chicken cages to raise chickens, what are the precautions for chickens that India and other farmers need to pay attention to? Only by paying attention to the feeding points in all aspects, scientific and reasonable feeding can raise the chickens more efficiently.

1. Select the appropriate chicken cage equipment: At present, the chicken cage equipment is divided into laying hen cages, broiler cages and brooding cages for raising chicks according to the types of layer, broiler and chicks. Farmers need to choose the appropriate cage equipment according to the breed of chickens they raise, so that they can purchase the appropriate cages and allow the chickens to grow and produce in a comfortable environment. In addition, we must pay attention to the quality of the chicken cage. We must choose a chicken cage manufacturer with guaranteed quality and good reputation, so as to ensure the quality of the cage and the service life of the cage. Many farmers pay attention to price issues, but we must know that good goods are not cheap. The more focused on price, the easier it is to be deceived.

2. Emphasize the work of disinfecting chicken houses: Nowadays, many farms have bigger and bigger chicken farms, and the movement of people is faster. Therefore, the farming environment of chicken farms is also likely to become worse, and the pollution of various pathogens is also increasing. More often, farmers may contract diseases with little attention, causing economic losses. Therefore, the awareness of sanitation and disinfection of chicken farms, farmers must be carefully rooted in the consciousness, disinfection should be carried out in every breeding link, must not be negligent.

3. Pay attention to choosing high-quality vaccines when immunizing: farmers should pay attention to purchasing high-quality vaccines produced by designated national manufacturers when choosing immunizing vaccines. However, the effect is not the same. In addition, before inoculation, each vaccine bottle should be checked for damage, whether the seal is tight, whether the bottle is vacuum, and whether it is within the expiration date. If it fails, it cannot be used.

4. Pay attention to the rational use of medicines: in order to prevent diseases between chickens, many farmers feed their own medicines to prevent diseases, which will not only have no preventive effect but also cause resistance in the chickens. The principle of medication is: preventive drugs can only be administered during the susceptible stage of the flock, and the medication should be stopped immediately after the prone period, and the therapeutic dose of the drug should be used only when the flock is ill. And a medicine is replaced once after using it for a period of time to avoid drug resistance.

5. Pay attention to control the density of chickens in chicken cages: the density of chickens raised in chicken cages is large. Some farmers do not pay attention to the standard density in order to raise more chickens, and increase the density to raise them at will. Excessive density will cause uneven growth of chickens, and it will also increase the number of harmful gases in the air. Chickens are susceptible to E. coli, coccidiosis, etc., and the disease epidemic can be accelerated. Therefore, in the process of raising chickens, farmers must not covet the number of breeds and ignore the appropriate density.

The above five points are what the author tells for the majority of farmers. In the process of using layer chicken cages to raise chickens, the precautions for raising chickens. A few points of attention need to be paid attention to and carried out by farmers, I hope the above description can bring some help to farmers.

Most breeding users know that group farming is a relatively common method. For example, there are many knowledge about raising chickens, so do you know the advantages of using poultry battery cages to raise chickens?

The so-called use of chicken cages to raise chickens means that the chickens are housed in cages welded with wire. Different types of chicken cages are designed according to the type, sex and age of the chicken. So, the main advantages of chicken cages:

First of all, chickens have good epidemic prevention and effective prevention of infectious diseases: chickens do not touch feces, which can make chickens grow healthier and provide a clean and comfortable growth environment for chickens.

In the process of raising chickens in chicken cages, chickens will not directly contact the feces, so cage farming can greatly reduce the diseases caused by fecal infection, reduce the incidence of diseases, and facilitate the handling of feces.

The use of chicken cages to raise chickens allows chickens to have sufficient feeding and drinking positions, ensuring that each chicken can get reasonable drinking and feeding, making the chickens evenly distributed.

The above points are the advantages of raising chickens in chicken cages described by the author. Generally, the breeding quantity is less than 1,000. It is best for farmers to use flat or free-range breeding. This breeding method is the most cost-effective and can quickly return to cost. If the breeding volume is more than 3,000 or more, then the author recommends the use of chicken battery cages, which is convenient and labor-saving.

When chickens are raised in summer due to temperature, it is easy to cause bacteria to grow in the house. So how to manage the high temperature in summer to ensure the survival rate of broilers in poultry cage manufacturers in nigeria?

The first is to reduce the breeding density in the chicken coop, otherwise it will cause heat stress. Farmers should eliminate sick chickens in a timely manner, which can reduce the breeding density, and also avoid their casualties affecting healthy chickens. Summer temperatures are high and flocks need more water. In addition, the water must be clean. Unclean water can easily cause disease. Therefore, chicken farmers should adjust the waterline in time in summer to supply sufficient clean drinking water.

The henhouse fan cannot be stopped in summer, and the water curtain cannot be cut off. If there is a power outage, many chickens may die. Therefore, make sure that the circuit is correct. In addition, under high temperature and high load, electricity is prone to problems, such as fire. Protection. In summer, there is not only high temperature, but also windy and rainy weather. Chicken farmers should pay attention to not only temperature but humidity, as well as the shock, rain, and water that might be caused by windy and rainy weather.

In summer, chickens need to emit a lot of heat during feeding. Chicken farmers should avoid the time when the heat emitted by the flocks is high during the day, such as noon time. So feeding in summer is generally morning and evening. In summer, the temperature is high and the humidity is high, and there is much rain, and the feed is prone to mildew. In addition, in order to ensure that the feed does not become moldy because it is not eaten for a long time after entering the trough, chicken farmers should ensure that the trough is cleaned once a day. Note that heatstroke and cooling products are added to the feed. Generally, chicken farmers in summer need to add multiple dimensions to improve the flock's ability to resist heat stress.

If the temperature is too high, ventilation should be strengthened. If it cannot be lowered, the water curtain needs to play a cooling role. In the process of chicken breeding, pay attention to the balance of humidity and temperature. When the humidity is too high, the water curtain should be turned off in time to increase the role of the fan. It is necessary to pay attention to the cooling during the day, and the cooling of the ventilation at night cannot be ignored. The climate change in summer is very different, so in order to improve the survival rate of broilers and reduce the losses of chicken farmers in battery cage for chickens
.

Nowadays, when farmers raise chickens, they choose to use poultry breeding equipment (layer chicken cages / broiler cages) for breeding. When farmers use chicken equipment for breeding work, in order to make these chicken equipment play the best effect, before use, farmers can learn from manufacturers the correct use of equipment and precautions. In addition, farmers need to pay attention to a few issues in the process of use, now the author will talk about it.

1. First of all, when we use full-automatic chicken breeding equipment for breeding work, we need to pay attention to prevent illness while carefully feeding. According to the different growth stages of broilers, diets were prepared according to feeding standards.

2. Regular disinfection in a timely manner. First of all, chicks should be introduced from healthy breeder farms to prevent vertical transmission of pathogens. Second, create a good breeding environment, disinfect regularly, and prevent horizontally transmitted diseases.

3. Secondly, we also need to do a good job in epidemic prevention. When using full-automatic chicken breeding equipment, a soft rubber strip can be added to the bottom of the cage to prevent the breast of the broiler from coming into direct contact with the pointed iron wire and causing chest cysts. Regular management of temperature, humidity, ventilation and light is a prerequisite for preventing the occurrence of chicken respiratory diseases.

4. Another thing is to pay attention to ventilation. Because the climate is cold in winter, and the temperature inside the house is very different from the outside temperature, it is necessary to ventilate and maintain the temperature in the house. This is also the main problem to be solved in winter. The hen house requires good thermal insulation performance, and it is especially necessary to prevent the chicks from being killed by squeezing together due to low temperature. In general, ventilation starts at the age of 6 days, and the ventilation volume is increased with the increase of chicken age to reduce the concentration of harmful gases in the house. Remove faeces and wet litter in a timely manner.

The above are the issues that need to be paid attention to when farmers use chicken equipment for breeding work. I hope the above introduction can provide some help for everyone, if you want to get further understanding. Or if you have any other questions, you can consult the technical staff of the poultry equipment manufacturers for related content.

In the whole process of chicken raising, it is not only relying on poultry breeding equipment and layer chicken cages to improve the economic benefits of chicken raising. It is also necessary to continuously accumulate lessons in the process of chicken breeding, so as to conclude a chicken breeding process suitable for itself, in order to do professional chicken breeding. The author consulted farmers and poultry farming equipment suppliers with many years of breeding experience, and summarized several chicken breeding experiences, and now I will share with you.

1. It is also very important to choose high-quality feed and chicken seedlings, choose the right time to enter the seedlings and do a good job of marketing the broilers.

2.Be sure to make adequate preparations in all aspects before entering the chicken, so as to lay the foundation for the batch of broilers to be released successfully.

3. Strengthen daily breeding management and correct disinfection. Disinfection solution can be used for drinking water disinfection in the later period.

4. Each disease should adhere to the concept of prevention-oriented, the dosage should be accurate, the course of treatment should be sufficient, to prevent multi-use and random use, and truly implement health care.

5. Group in time, maintain good ventilation, maintain temperature stability, prevent colds, and prevent the occurrence of large rods, coccidia, and ascites.

6. Maintain a proper feeding density, preferably less than 8 per square meter.

7. Spray in the hot season to prevent heat stress.

8. To prevent the poisoning of chickens caused by excessive medication, we should also pay attention to the unfortunate mentality of not taking medications in time to prevent the outbreak of chickens.

9. Chicken farmers should communicate with the after-sales in time to report the true situation of the flock and the previous medication situation in order to use the medicine more accurately.

10. It is recommended to use concentrated medicine to drink water before 20 days, preferably after 4 hours or throughout the day. Adult chickens can be used for about 2 hours. Some medicines are best taken in the morning and afternoon, and the reference for drinking water is to drink them throughout the day (20% in winter and 25% in summer).

The above are the ten chicken-raising experiences shared by the author. At the same time, you are also welcome to share your chicken-raising experience with us. Thank you for your attention!

1. There are many specifications of battery brooding chick cages, because the number of breeders and the area of chicken coops are different for each breeder, so the specifications are more to adapt to each henhouse and breeder. In the structure, the cage is separated in the middle, the chicken battery cages can be fed on both sides, and there are regulating nets on both sides of the cage, which can be used for brooding and breeding.

2. Poultry breeding equipment manufacturers generally design cage bottom nets that are dense and long when producing stacked brooding cages. This is because chicks are too small and the design is too wide to drop chicks.

3. The layered brooder cage is generally three-dimensional structure according to the structure of the cage frame. Generally, the number of layers provided by manufacturers is divided into 3 or 4 or more layers, depending on the needs of farmers. There is a faecal plate in between, which is convenient for the chicks to fall directly on the feces after they produce feces. It does not directly contact the chicks, which reduces the chance of infection.

4. Feeding troughs and water troughs will be set on both sides of the cascading brooding cage, which is convenient for chicks to eat and drink.

5. The advantage of using a layered brooder is that it can make full use of the area of the brooding room, which is convenient for heat preservation and disinfection, separates chicks from chicken manure, reduces the incidence of diseases such as coccidiosis, and improves survival.

6. Generally, when the chicks are transported to the broiler house, the chicks will be placed on the upper 2-3 floors. As the chicks grow older, the area occupied by the chicks gradually increases, and the chickens in the upper cage are gradually transferred to the lower cage to reduce the feeding density. This can reduce the stress response of the swarm, improve the survival rate, and also facilitate early thermal insulation.

7. The chicken cage also has a herringbone structure. This structure is called a step-type brooder by the farmers. Such chicken cage chicken flocks will directly leak to the bottom of the cage after the chicken manure is generated. It is similar to the structure and use method of the layered brooder.

That ’s all for now. It ’s about cascading brooding cages. In order to obtain a better survival rate for chicks, in addition to working hard on the way of raising chickens, more attention should be paid to feeding management. Good poultry battery cages and equipment, and sophisticated breeding management can better breed chickens and lay a solid foundation for later earnings.

As the temperature in summer is getting higher and higher, the feed intake of many chickens has declined. In fact, the feed intake of chickens in the hot summer is more common, especially in the late stage of broiler breeding poultry feeder price in nigeria. So what are the specific reasons?

This hot weather can easily breed bacteria and cause disease in chickens. Many chicken diseases can cause the loss of appetite of chickens, resulting in a decline in feed intake. This will not only occur in summer, but will occur throughout the year. In addition, the chickens drink plenty of water in the summer, and the intestines are prone to problems. If ventilation and cooling are not well controlled, heat stress or cold may cause some chicken diseases, resulting in chicken appetite loss. Chicken farmers can combine other symptoms to diagnose chicken disease and treat it symptomatically, so as to solve the problem of reduced feed intake of chicken flocks.

The most important thing in raising chickens in the henhouse in the summer is to prevent heatstroke and cool down. Although there are various ventilation facilities and water curtains, it is still difficult to achieve the ideal temperature for all chickens in the house. If the temperature is not controlled well, the flock will have mild or severe heat stress. Once the heat stress, the flock will like to drink water, eat less, and the feed intake will naturally decrease. Therefore, strengthening the exhaust air, increasing the wind speed, and using more water curtains to ensure that the chickens are not exposed to the cold, to maximize the control of heat stress, are the key links to avoid the
chickens' appetite in the summer.

broiler chicken farm cage in Nigeria for chickens has a relatively poor living environment, small living space, and high density of chickens. This makes it easier for chickens to dissipate body heat in summer. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the feeding density properly in summer. In addition, reasonable nutritional matching, suitable feed ratio and mouthfeel, and the addition of some additives or traditional Chinese medicine preparations to regulate intestinal tract, improve immunity, prevent heatstroke and lower temperature, can help reduce the loss of appetite in chickens.

Chicken feed is divided into big chicken feed and small chicken feed. In addition to different feed nutrients, these feeds also have different particle sizes. Even the size of feed pellets varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. Chickens are inconvenient to feed with feed particles that are too large, and picking will occur. In addition to different feed particle sizes, it will cause chickens to pick, and changes in feed ingredients will also cause chickens to pick. Chickens have a sense of taste and smell. Adding some inferior raw materials to the feed ingredients, such as inferior oils and fats, will result in poor palatability of the feed, and the chicken will throw out food. This situation will be improved by changing feed.
