How to prevent the chicken cages from getting wet?

The high temperature and high humidity season is very unfavorable for the normal growth of laying hens and broilers. The high temperature and high humidity of the chicken house can cause heat stress in the flock, reduce feed intake, and reduce the growth performance. Therefore, in the process of raising chickens in the summer, in addition to the cooling work, the farmers should also prevent excessive moisture in the house. Let's talk to farmers about how to prevent chickens from using chicken battery cages to prevent moisture.

 

1. When farmers start building chicken cages and raise chicken houses, it is recommended that farmers choose high-grade and dry sites in the selection of chicken house sites, and build chicken cages and raise them in places that are conducive to drainage, flood control, ventilation and quiet environment. In the chicken house, the chicken coop and the chicken house built should be in the direction of the north facing south, so as to facilitate the heat preservation and moisture resistance of the chicken cage.

 

 

2. Compared with winter and autumn, the temperature and humidity in spring and summer are relatively high, so the farmers should pay attention to strengthen the ventilation of the chicken house during these two seasons, pay attention to heat preservation. The average chicken cage and chicken house temperature is not lower than 15 ° C, and pay attention to prevent wind and so on. At the same time, under the premise of moderate heat preservation, ventilation should be strengthened to prevent more moisture from gathering in chicken cages and chicken houses.

 

3. In addition, in the process of using poultry battery cages to raise chickens, the farmers have to meet the requirements, although the breeding density is large. Do not blindly increase the density, to maintain a proper stocking density, if the density of feeding is too large, it will form a crowd of chickens, which is not conducive to moisture.

 

4. In addition, the farmer should pay attention to prevent the water leakage of the drinking utensils. When the water dispenser is found to be leaking, it should be sealed or replaced according to the detailed conditions. Timely remove and dry the leaks on the ground of the chicken cage and the chicken house to eliminate the unfavorable factors of water vapor formation.

 

5. Farmers should actively prevent diseases during the process of raising chickens. If they are not actively prevented and treated, they can cause chickens to expel thin feces and make them wet on the ground, such as ferrets, gastroenteritis, infectious bursal disease. , Newcastle disease, infectious bronchitis, coccidiosis, etc.

 

The above is the summary of the author's summary. The method for preventing moisture in summer chicken cages is only for reference by farmers. If farmers want to know more about chicken news, they can continue to pay attention to our website.

Cooling heatstroke prevention for chickens in summer

In summer, the weather is hot and the feed intake of chickens is reduced, which in turn affects egg production rate, egg weight and broiler production speed. Here are some ways to prevent and cool down the summer chickens for your reference.

 

1. Greening and cooling: Planting vines such as creepers around the chicken house, allowing them to climb the wall and roof of the chicken house not only to block the strong sunlight, but also to reduce the indoor temperature due to the air flow between the leaves and the wall.

2. Spray cooling: spray cooling in the chicken house spray cooling effect is obvious, but easy to increase humidity, not suitable for use in high temperature and high humidity.

3. Fan cooling: Install a certain number of fans at a certain distance in the house. When the temperature inside the house rises, turn on the fan, but the noise is louder, but it will cause chicken stress.

4. Water curtain cooling: The water curtain cooling is to use the fan negative pressure system and the water curtain to cooperate, artificially reproduce the physical process of evaporation and cooling of the natural water, which can make the air in the chicken house fresh and the temperature is suitable. However, the price of the house with the curtain cooling is higher.

5. Cooling of the insulation layer: Enhance the heat insulation capacity of the roof and the wall, reduce the solar radiant heat entering the house; set up a sunshade net or awning outside the window to prevent direct sunlight from illuminating the flock.

The area of the tuyere and roof skylight can also reduce the temperature of the house

6. Improve the internal and external environment of the chicken house: The chicken house will insist on removing the feces every day, reducing the heat production of the manure in the house; improving the ventilation conditions and increasing the area of the vents and roof skylights. Doing a good job of environmental greening around the chicken house can not only reduce radiant heat, but also absorb carbon dioxide, reduce the density of dust, and purify the air inside and outside the house.

7. Drug cooling: Vitamin C is the best medicine for heatstroke prevention and cooling, and it is recommended to double the amount in summer.

8. Reduce the stocking density of chickens in chicken battery cages.

Precautions for automatic feeders

The production and use of automatic feeders greatly solve the problems of large and medium-sized farmers who are difficult to feed the chickens in chicken battery cages, have a long time and labor intensity, and effectively improve the work efficiency. Then the automatic feeder should pay attention to the use. What are the matters?

What are the precautions for using the automatic feeder?

First, pay attention to timely inspection. The inspection is divided into three parts: the top of the feeder, the belt, and the motor. The automatic feeding machine can not place heavy objects on the top, and check whether the belt is loose. The main part of the feeding machine is the motor and the geared motor. Therefore, pay special attention to whether the motor has abnormal conditions, and if necessary, handle it in time.

Second, we must pay attention to clean up. Because the dust will be generated during the operation of the feeder due to the production of feed, if the dust remains on the machine, it will cause dust in the control box of the feeder, which may eventually lead to short circuit and affect the machine. Therefore, when using, remember to regularly clean the feeder.

Third, keep the lubrication between the feeders. If there is no lubrication between the gear chains, the components inside the feeder will wear out, which will affect the working effect and efficiency in poultry equipment for sale.

What should we pay attention to when using cages to raise chickens?

As people's demands for life are getting higher and higher, the use of chicken battery cages is becoming more and more widespread, especially in the chicken industry. The efficiency of the aquaculture industry is not only related to the market, but also has a great relationship with the chicken farming technology and management. Only the feeding management is good, and the meat yield and quality of the chicken will be better. What issues should I pay attention to?

 

1. Disinfection: After integrating the experience of the poultry equipment manufacturer, remind everyone. Regardless of whether the cage of the farmer is new or old, the chicken must be thoroughly disinfected before it enters the cage. In this way, the hygiene and safety of the chickens can be ensured, and the flocks can be reduced after entering the chicken coop. Especially in old chicken cages, reasonable disinfection can kill the bacteria brought by the batch of chickens and avoid infecting the chickens, otherwise the impact will be great. In addition, the authors suggest that farmers should be disinfected one week in advance.

 

 

2. Strict control of epidemic prevention: Infectious diseases are the key to affecting the health of the flock and the efficiency of the farmers. This is also the focus of the precautions for raising chickens. Therefore, farmers must pay attention to the prevention of infectious diseases in the process of breeding. An effective means of preventing infectious diseases is immunization, so the process of vaccination must be done in the process of farming. Choosing a high-quality vaccine, using the right immunization method, and properly immunizing can reduce or prevent the occurrence of infectious diseases.

 

3. Control the temperature of the chicken house: Temperature is an important factor affecting the health of the broiler, so the farmers must strictly implement the temperature requirements required for the broiler. Pay attention to the timely cooling in the summer, and pay attention to the work of warming up in the winter. Only when the temperature is kept at a comfortable level can the healthy growth of the flock be guaranteed.

 

4. Choose the full-price feed: In the process of raising broiler chickens, if the growth performance of broilers is to be well played, then the nutrition of the broilers should be balanced. Therefore, it is necessary for the farmer to select or formulate the full-price feed of the broiler. The nutrition required for broilers at different stages of growth is different, so farmers need to rationally purchase or formulate feeds based on the growth stage of the broilers.

 

5. Pay attention to the harmless work of the chicken farm: in the chicken farm, some dead chickens and feces will become the root cause of the spread of the disease. In addition, some mice, dogs, cats, flies, mosquitoes, birds and wildlife will become the medium of communication. Therefore, once the chicken house has dead chickens, the farmers must be buried deep. Also note that animals such as rats, dogs, and cats are present in the chicken farm to avoid relaying the disease to the flock.

How to raise chickens when the weather is hot

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there will be heat stress. The heat stress refers to a series of abnormal reactions of chickens in the high temperature environment due to the regulation of body temperature and physiology. Feed intake, production performance, feed conversion rate, etc., have different degrees of impact, and even chickens have heat shock and death. So how do you prevent heat stress?


Take effective measures to reduce the temperature of the house, you can plant trees in the vicinity of the house to reduce the amount of direct sunlight and heat radiation, spray cooling, this is a very effective cooling measures, spray water every 2 hours ~ 3 hours , can reduce the temperature of 4 ° C ~ 8 ° C. Strengthen ventilation and cool down. Install fans and exhaust fans in the chicken house, increase the air inlet and outlet of the chicken house, use longitudinal ventilation to blow the wind directly to the chicken body, or set a water curtain at the air inlet to allow the outside hot air to cool before entering Chicken coop.

 

Strengthen feeding management, reduce the adverse effects caused by heat stress, change the feeding time to avoid the hottest time, choose to feed in the morning, evening or night relatively cool time to help the chickens eat . Appropriate reduction of stocking density The chickens have a high density of feeding, heat production, and large heat dissipation, resulting in an increase in the temperature of the house, and high-density feeding will make the heat stress more serious.

 

Excluding harmful gases in the house due to high ambient temperature and increased drinking water, most chickens are diarrhea, and chicken feces in the house produce a large amount of ammonia gas and hydrogen sulfide gas, which aggravates the chicken heat stress response in chicken battery cages.

Anti-breaking egg points for raising chickens in laying hen cages

In the process of laying chickens in laying hens, the key to judging the efficiency of the farmers is the quality and quantity of the eggs. The number of chickens in the layer battery cages is large, and the number of laying eggs in the chickens will also increase. In addition, the farmers should work hard on the quality of the laying hens to ensure the production of eggs. Reducing the rate of breaking eggs can improve the breeding efficiency. If the egg breaking rate is high, the laying hens are not useful in high yield, so the author will teach the farmers how to prevent the eggs from breaking.

 

1. Farmers should determine the size and type of laying hens based on the number and variety of laying hens. The spacing of the iron bars at the bottom of the cage is generally recommended to be 2.5 cm x 5 cm. It is appropriate to design the angle of the bottom of the cage. Small angles can not roll out the eggs in time. Large angles can easily cause the eggs to fall to the ground or break the impact of the eggs and break each other. The slope of the general cage bottom should be maintained at 7-8 degrees.

 

2. Ensure balanced nutrition of feed: The nutritional level of feed is directly related to the strength and hardness of eggshell, which is an important factor affecting the rate of breaking eggs. When formulating feed, it is necessary to formulate nutrient-rich feeds in stages, especially calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D3 and crude protein. Although most of the current feeds are called full-price feeds, caged chickens cannot get extra vitamins, so the chicken farm can supplement the chickens with multi-dimensional and minerals twice a week.

 

 

3. Increase the number of quail eggs and improve the quality of quail eggs: In order to prevent the egg from colliding with the egg and the egg being trampled at the bottom of the cage, it is necessary to quail eggs more than 3 times a day. The last quail egg arrangement is to reduce the time the eggs stay on the cage before turning off the lights at night, and to prevent the chickens from quailing.

 

4. Correct and reasonable lighting: When supplementing the light, it should be adjusted with the seasons. The total light time is 16 hours, at least not less than 14 hours.

 

5. Reasonable and effective calcium supplementation: After about 45 weeks of post-production, the shell particles should be supplemented separately at 4-5 pm to provide sufficient calcium source for eggshell formation.

 

6. Minimize stress: caged chickens are timid and shocked, and are very sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment. When the chickens are scared, they will increase the soft shell eggs and deformed eggs.

 

7. Prevention of disease occurrence: After the disease occurs, the egg production rate of the chickens will be significantly reduced, the eggshell quality will decrease, and the egg breaking rate will increase significantly. Therefore, poultry breeding equipment manufacturers suggest that it is necessary to strengthen the biosafety construction of chicken farms, formulate reasonable disinfection measures and immunization procedures, and regularly detect antibody levels and regularly administer drugs to prevent diseases.

High-density chicken raising measures for laying hens

High-density farming is the method that most domestic farmers now adopt. High-density farming is also one of the important measures to improve production and reduce costs. However, if high-density breeding is carried out, if the farmer manages the environment of the chicken house, it will lead to the deterioration of the air in the house and the bad habits of the chickens. Therefore, chicken cage manufacturers recommend that farmers should take the following measures in order to improve the stocking density while still making the environmental conditions more suitable:

 

1. Density should be appropriate: Feeding density refers to the area of the cage bottom of each square chicken. On a certain chicken house ground, the higher the stocking density, the more chickens are raised. However, if the density is too large, the air in the chicken house is poor, and the activity and diet of the chicken are inconvenient. The growth rate and the egg production rate are both reduced, and the results are less favorable. Therefore, even at high density, the density should be appropriate and not too dense.

 

 

2. Place enough feeding troughs and sinks: Under high-density feeding conditions, each chicken must have the proper length of the trough and sink. And place these feeding troughs and sinks as evenly as possible in all parts of the house. In this way, although the density of the flock is high, each chicken can have a certain position and can eat and drink near the water to ensure that the water is not lacking, so that the production performance is not affected.

 

3. Strengthen ventilation: Under high-density feeding conditions, there are many chickens and therefore have a large amount of breathing. The relative humidity and the concentration of harmful gases in the house are also likely to rise. In the high temperature season, the temperature is also easy to rise. In order to maintain a good air condition in the house, ventilation equipment should be installed or installed, ventilation should be increased, and sufficient fresh air should be continuously exchanged.

 

4. Beak breaking: high density breeding of chickens can easily lead to altercation. In order to prevent the occurrence of pecking feathers, anal pecking, reduce the death of chicken, chicken picky feed to avoid waste, etc., usually in 6-10 days of age, the chicken beak up and down together to cut 1/3-1/2.

 

5. Reduce the light intensity: when the feeding density is high and the light is strong, it is easy to cause chicken restlessness. Even after beaking, anal pecking and other phenomena will still occur. In closed coop, the illumination of growing chickens should be 5-10 lux, and that of laying hens should be 10 lux. Ordinary chicken cage such as light is very strong, when the occurrence of anal pecking, in the guarantee of proper ventilation conditions, to cover the coop as dark as possible.

Why are chickens lacking nutrition?

Maybe you often have such questions when raising chickens in poultry equipment for sale. Why do I raise chickens seriously? It is the same as raising chickens before. Why do my chickens sometimes suffer from lack of nutrition?
There are the following reasons regarding the lack of nutrition in chickens.

 

1, if you excessively pursue the growth rate of chicken, want to let the chicken grow faster, give the chicken some excessive nutrient feed, although this will achieve the effect, but often the chicken can not afford so much, it will
cause the immunity to decline. At the same time, chickens will also lack nutrition.

2, because the properties of the chicken is rather timid, any reaction will cause a stress reaction, stress will encroach on the nutrients in the chicken body, reducing the immunity of the flock. In this case, the demand for nutrients in
chickens will be higher.

3, due to improper storage of the mold caused by mildew, this will not only make the chicken lack of nutrition, but also cause diarrhea, which also has an impact on the growth and development of the chicken.

4, there are many factors that cause chicken immunosuppression, the most common are disease factors, drug factors, feed factors. In the case of immunosuppression, if the flock wants to be healthy, more nutrients are needed to protect it.

The basic principle of prevention of chicken disease in laying hens

In the face of the new characteristics of disease occurrence, producers should establish a prevention-oriented epidemic prevention concept. Poultry equipment manufacturers believe that a series of strict epidemic prevention measures should be established to infiltrate the epidemic prevention into every production link, do a good job in daily comprehensive prevention and control, control the epidemic in the bud, and maximize the economic benefits of farming.


 
1. Implement the epidemic prevention policy that prevention is the priority and treatment is the priority.

We should abandon the traditional wrong idea of emphasis on breeding and neglect of prevention. In the process of pollution-free and standardized breeding, we should formulate various measures to give priority to prevention, so as to grasp the initiative of epidemic prevention and disease eradication and maintain the continuous, stable and healthy development of chicken production.

 

 

2. Strictly implement the sanitation system

From the chick into the chicken house, the chicken house of the disinfection to the process of feeding with chicken disinfection, from personnel disinfection to equipment disinfection, from the small environment of the chicken house to the chicken farm environment of the disinfection to do meticulous, thorough, leaving no dead space, reduce or cut off the way of transmission of pathogenic microorganisms infection.

 

3. Scientific immunization to enhance the body's ability to resist diseases

Immunization is an important means to prevent and control infectious diseases of livestock and poultry. Especially for some viral infectious diseases of chickens, there is no specific treatment and specific drugs. Immunization can be said to be the most effective way to control infectious diseases.In order to achieve a good immune effect, farms must establish scientific immune procedures, adopt reliable immune methods, use efficient vaccines and timely immunization in accordance with the specific conditions of local epidemics, characteristics of different infectious diseases, nature of vaccines, status of chickens, feeding and management, etc.Layer chicken cage manufacturer thinks, only so, ability produces strong immunity, prevent or put an end to the happening of contagion.

Improve the disease resistance rate of chickens

1.Liver and kidney health care

Human liver and kidney are very important, and the liver and kidney of the chicken are also important, because liver and kidney function is related to detoxification and metabolism. Therefore, paying attention to the liver and kidney health care of the chickens can make the chickens more energetic and the blood more smooth in poultry cages for sale.

2. Intestinal health care

The intestine is the largest immune organ of the chicken. The intestinal tract is not good. The health of the chicken is definitely not guaranteed. Even if it is not ill, it will become sick due to absorption problems. Gut care can even be said to be one of the most important things to raise chickens.

 

 


3. Different seasons of health care

This is actually easier for chicken farmers to understand, and generally not to make mistakes. Summer and winter, the health care for the chickens is definitely not the same. Winter protection, summer heat stress, drinking water, light, diet, ventilation, additives, etc. need to make correct adjustments. In spring, summer, autumn and winter, chickens are also susceptible to different diseases. Chicken farmers should have targeted preventive health care.

4. Health care should start from the chicken

The health care of the chicks must not be ignored, because the health of the chicken needs to lay a good foundation from the chicken stage. This good foundation is mainly manifested in the improvement of immune organs, the enhancement of immunity, the normal development of the intestines and organs. Chicken farmers usually use microecological preparations and some immune-enhancing drugs and nutrients to care for the chicks.

5. Mycotoxins are the source of all diseases of chicken

This statement is not necessarily accurate, but the effect of mycotoxins on the health of the flock cannot be overstated. Mycotoxins, even if they do not directly damage the health of the flock, cause immunosuppression, making the flock more susceptible to disease. Therefore, adding mold remover to the feed is something that chicken farmers must not ignore. After all, the mildew of corn pea meal may not be visible to the naked eye.

What is the best density of caged broilers in summer?

1. Temperature management

(1) The optimum temperature for adult flocks: between 18 and 23 degrees Celsius, high temperature is likely to cause heat stress.

(2) Look at the chicken temperature: pay attention to the humidity of the chicken house. Use the body temperature during the day, find ways to cool down, so that the flock can reach a comfortable body temperature; use the indicated temperature at night.

2. High temperature and heat stress

Heat stress index = relative humidity (RH%) + Fahrenheit temperature (OF) 160. 160 Reduced feed intake, increased drinking water, and decreased production performance. 165 Flocks begin to die, with severe damage to the lungs and cardiovascular system. 170 A large number of deaths. When the temperature exceeds 28 degrees Celsius, the mouth is gasping. The temperature exceeds 30 degrees Celsius, the mouth is gasping, the feeding is decreased, and the drinking water is increased. When the temperature exceeds 32 degrees Celsius, the chickens appear sputum, lack of oxygen, rapid increase in respiratory rate, snoring, strange screaming, and serious death.

3. Heat stress is the control measure:

Use cooling equipment: fan + wet curtain, first turn on the fan that can be used, and use the wind speed to achieve the appropriate somatosensory temperature to produce the air cooling effect.
Secondly, use wet curtains: the temperature is over 30 degrees Celsius, the humidity is lower than 75%; gradually use, the range is from small to large; first use the two sides of the wall, and finally use the gable wet curtain. Finally, the windshield is installed in the chicken house to reduce the cross-sectional area of the house and increase the wind speed.

4. Density is not grouped

The density of flocks in summer chicken cages should be reduced, and each group of 3 layers should be 24-25. The flocks should maintain a reasonable density and should be grouped as soon as possible. The first group should be 8-13 days old, and the second group should be 21-22 days old. Summer grouping should be in the morning or evening to reduce heat stress in the flock.

5. Feeding management

Feed feeding: adjust the feeding time and feed in a cooler time. In the morning or evening, avoid the high temperature period, do not concentrate on feeding before 6 pm; pay attention to the mildew and deterioration of the feed to prevent poisoning or intestinal diseases, daily net trough and light limit once.

6. Drinking water management

Fresh, clean drinking water is provided to ensure adequate water. Protect the health of the intestines. Water quality standard: Total bacterial count standard: less than 100 per ml; E. coli should be 0 per ml and no more than 50. The water line should be cleaned regularly.

During the feeding period, the height of the waterline is adjusted every two days according to the age of the flock, so that the chicken can be raised through the waterline. Check the water line nipple every day for water, and replace the water line or leaking water line nipples in time to avoid disease caused by lack of water in the chickens.

7. Chicken out of the bar management

When the outside temperature is higher than 26 degrees Celsius, the chickens will be slaughtered. After the chicken battery cages are loaded, the water should be cooled in time. When the water is pumped, it must be thoroughly penetrated. During the slaughtering of the slaughterhouse, it is necessary to timely water and cool down to prevent the heat of the chickens.

Environmental control of broiler chicken house

Creating a living environment that is conducive to rapid growth and healthy development is a basic requirement for the healthy growth of broilers. What should be the environmental control of broiler houses?

temperature control

Chicks lack thermoregulatory capacity and must provide a suitable temperature. The temperature is too high, the intake is reduced, the drinking water is increased, and the growth is slow; if the temperature is too low, it is easy to cause respiratory diseases, indigestion, increase feed consumption, and the piles may cause the chicken to die. When the temperature is suitable, the chicks are evenly distributed and the activities are normal.

Humidity control

Humidity is the water content in the air, and proper humidity is closely related to the normal development of the chicken. Humidity is high, the house is damp, the bacteria breeds fast, the chicken is prone to disease; the humidity is small, the house is dry and dusty, and the chicken is prone to respiratory diseases. During the brooding period (the first 3 weeks), the relative humidity is controlled at 65% to 70%. During this period, the air is easy to dry due to the high temperature, and it is necessary to prevent the chicks from dehydrating due to low humidity.

Ventilation control

Ventilation and ventilation is to properly exclude the dirty air, pathogenic microorganisms, dust and moisture in the house, reduce their influence on the growth and development of the chicken, and exchange the fresh air outside to promote the rapid growth of the chicken. Ventilation can be done by natural ventilation and mechanical ventilation.

Lighting control

Control lighting is mainly to control the lighting time and light intensity. There are two characteristics of broiler illumination: 1 The illumination time should be as long as possible, which is the need to prolong the feeding time of the chicken, adapt to rapid growth, and shorten the growth cycle. 2 The light intensity should be as weak as possible, in order to reduce the excitement and movement of the chicken and improve the feed efficiency.

Density control

The brooding density refers to the number of chicks fed per square meter of the chicken battery cages . Appropriate stocking density can ensure the normal growth and development of chicks. The breeding density is too large, the chicks are crowded and piled up, the growth is slow, the development is not neat, the environmental pollution is aggravated, the disease spreads quickly, and the mortality rate is high. The density is too small, which is not conducive to heat preservation, resulting in waste of feeding area, energy, labor and so on. The feeding density of broilers should be flexibly controlled according to the specific conditions of the structure, ventilation and feeding conditions of the house.
