Now in the fall, the temperature difference between day and night in autumn is relatively large and difficult to control. Therefore, in the process of raising chickens using poultry farming equipment, farmers need to pay attention to many precautions for raising chickens and strengthen various management measures. It can ensure that the flock will not be affected by the autumn weather and temperature, and ensure that the flocks have good growth performance.
1. Appropriate adjustment of the flock: After entering the fall, the farmers should pay attention to properly adjusting the stocking density of the flock. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to the elimination of some chickens with low growth performance such as sick chickens and weak chickens.
2. Increase feed nutrition: After a long hot summer, the average flock will be fatigued, so after entering the fall, the farmers should pay attention to increase the nutrition in the feed, especially the farmers who raise the laying hens should pay attention to adding protein. Help the laying hens who have not yet moulted to continue laying eggs, and promote the chickens that have been moulted to grow into feathers and resume production as soon as possible.
3. Reduce the impact of climate change in autumn: Compared with the summer temperature, the weather after entering the autumn is gradually getting colder every day, so the farmers should pay attention to the temperature control in the house to make the microclimate change in the house. The amplitude is not too large, reducing the temperature difference between day and night.
4. Do a good job of regular disinfection: the temperature in autumn is more suitable, and the environment with suitable temperature is more likely to cause the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms, so chickens are susceptible to various diseases. In the autumn, farmers should do a good job in the sanitation of the chicken house, disinfect regularly, and kill the germs in time to ensure that the incidence of disease is reduced.
5. Preventing stress: When the high temperature weather in summer is over, the weather is getting colder. Therefore, in the transition period of summer and autumn, the flocks are more prone to the reaction of cold and heat stress, thus affecting the normal growth and production performance of the layer and broiler. Farmers should prepare in advance, pay attention to the use of some chicken equipment to create a comfortable environment for the flock, to ensure that the season is the temperature of the house, so as to ensure the high yield and stability of the flock.
The above five points are the precautions that the author told the farmers to raise chickens use chicken battery cages in autumn. I hope that the above five farmers can pay attention to ensure that the chickens can survive the autumn safely.
