1. Strengthen the disinfection of chicken cage and equipment

According to the chicken house and the date of receiving the chickens, arrange the preparation work progress of washing, cleaning, disinfection and empty house reasonably. Generally, the next batch of broiler chickens will be entered at least 2 weeks after the sale to ensure the preparation of the chicken house. And enough empty house time.

2, the choice of chicks

Choosing young ones must choose strong young ones, and eliminate weak young ones and remnant and abnormal young ones. The characteristics of the strong young are: well-developed, clean and shiny feathers, dry, lively and active, the cry is clear and loud, the eyes are big and energetic, the standing firm, the hand grip is strong, the reaction is quick, the abdomen is soft and elastic, and the umbilicus is well healed , No bleeding marks. Weak chicks are lacking in energy, have loose feathers, close their eyes and shrink their heads, stand unsteadily, and have eggs.

The yellow is not absorbed well, the umbilicus is protruding, and there are bleeding marks.

3, environmental control

The environment has a great influence on the growth of the chicks, especially after the autumn, the temperature gradually decreases, the temperature difference between day and night is relatively large, and the stress on the chicks is strong, so you should be extra careful at this stage.

4. Drinking water management

It must be ensured that it is not contaminated by E. coli and other pathogenic microorganisms. Drink warm water at the same room temperature for the first week, then use deep well water or tap water. Appropriately add 2.5%～5% glucose, brown sugar and multivitamins for broilers in the drinking water in the first 3 days; after the chicks enter the brooding room, they must drink water for 3 to 4 hours and then start the first feeding; the drinking fountains should be placed evenly and at a moderate height. Clean and disinfect 1 to 2 times a day, and the storage time of water tanks and buckets should not exceed 3 days; try to record the daily drinking water amount. If the drinking water amount is abnormal, it is often a sign of abnormal feeding management or disease in the flock.

Intensive chicken farming has become the main method of modern farming. So what kind of chicken house should be built for intensive chicken farming? I will share it with you today.

The types of chicken houses are basically divided into two types, one is an open type chicken house, and the other is a sealed type chicken house.

Open chicken house: The most common form is a chicken house with windows on all sides, large windows on the south wall, and small windows on the north wall. There is no setting on the south side and sports field. Most of these chicken house are naturally ventilated and light, and the indoor temperature and humidity basically change with the seasons. Due to the limited natural ventilation and light, chicken houses such as production management towels are often equipped with ventilation and lighting equipment to supplement the lack of ventilation and light under natural conditions. The windows of an open chicken house should be set on the front and back walls, and the front windows should be wide and low from the ground to facilitate lighting. The ratio of windows to floor area is 1:10~1:8. The rear window should be small, about 2/3 of the area of ​​the front window, which can be high from the ground, and it is ventilated in summer.

Sealed chicken house: also known as windowless chicken house. The roof and walls of this chicken house are well insulated, and there are no windows on all sides. The indoor environment is adjusted by manual or instrument control. The chicken house adopts artificial ventilation and light, and by changing the size of the ventilation, the indoor temperature, humidity and air composition are controlled. The sealed chicken house has no windows, only emergency windows and ventilation.

House span, length and height: The span of the chicken house depends on the form of the roof of the chicken house, the type of chicken cages and the feeding method. The general span is 6 to 10 meters in open chicken house and 12 to 15 meters in closed chicken coops. The length of the chicken house generally depends on the span of the chicken house and the degree of mechanization of management. A chicken house with a span of 6 to 10 meters, a chicken house with a length of 30 to 60 meters, a large span of 12 meters, and a length of 70 to 80 meters. A chicken house with a high degree of mechanization can be long, but generally it should not exceed 100 meters. Otherwise, the manufacture and installation of mechanical equipment are difficult, and the materials are difficult to solve.

The height of the chicken house depends on the feeding method, manure removal method, span and climatic conditions. In areas with small spans, dry maintenance and low heat, the chicken house does not need to be too high. Generally, the eaves of the chicken house are large with a span of 2.0 to 2.5 meters. For multi-layer cages, the height of the chicken house is about 3 meters. Or the uppermost chicken coop is 1~1.5 meters away from the roof, which is a suitable high-bed closed chicken house. The lower part is equipped with a manure pit with a height of 4.5~5 meters (1.8~2 meters higher than ordinary chicken houses).

The above is the type of chicken house that needs to be built for intensive chicken farming. Regardless of the type of chicken house, farmers need to purchase automatic poultry farming equipment.
