Chicks require a lot of energy from farmers during the breeding process. The chick feed in the layer baby chick cages is also a key point in raising chicks. Therefore, the selection of brooding feed should be highly nutritious, and the quality and quantity of the feed should be up to the standard when feeding, so as to help the healthy growth of the chicks. However, the storage of feed is a big problem. Even the best feed is useless if it is not stored well. Therefore, we will introduce some key points for storing feed at ordinary times.

1. Temperature: The temperature in the warehouse where the feed is stored will affect the storage of the feed. When the temperature is 15°C or below, some pathogenic microorganisms reproduce very slowly or even stop; but when the temperature in the warehouse reaches about 29°C, the pathogenic microorganisms will It reproduces very quickly; so farmers should pay attention to changes in temperature when storing feed. If farmers find insect disasters, they can use fumigation to eliminate insects.

2. Humidity: The change of humidity in the warehouse will also affect the storage degree of the feed. With the improvement of humidity, molds multiply, so that the temperature and humidity in the warehouse increase, and the musty and sour smells appear one after another. The humidity should be controlled at 65% The following is appropriate.

3. Lighting: External light will affect the consumption of nutrients in the feed. The nutrients in the feed are often mutated or accelerated by the light, and the light has a catalytic effect on the change of the feed. Excessive light exposure for a long time will affect the oxidation of fat in the feed, and also damage fat-soluble vitamins, and the protein in the feed will also be degraded due to light exposure.

4. Oxygen: Farmers should pay attention to the fact that oxygen in the air can oxidize the fat in the feed, which will seriously affect the biological value of protein and damage certain vitamins, which not only affects nutrition, but also reduces palatability.

5. Microorganisms: Molds and yeasts in the air may multiply due to changes in the warehouse environment, reducing the availability of raw materials, and may also cause poisoning due to toxins.

6. The properties of the raw material itself: such as fineness, pH value, integrity, uniformity, moisture content, maturity, etc. Generally, the moisture content of the raw material is less than 13%, and most microorganisms can grow, and less than 10% can reduce the growth of insects. occur.

7. Storage equipment and management: farmers should not only pay attention to the breeding management of chicken flocks. The management of feed breeding is also very important. It is recommended that farmers should not buy too much at one time when purchasing feed, so as to keep the feed fresh. , In addition, pay attention to the control of insects and rats in the warehouse, ventilation, warehouse turnover, entry and exit and other management work.

The above are the methods and methods shared by poultry equipment manufacturers to store feed for chicks. Hope it can help everyone.
