In the current chicken industry, many users are using Chicken Breeding Equipment Machinery for breeding. There are many advantages to using cages, such as: intensive breeding, space saving, easy management, labor cost saving, etc. Let’s take a detailed look at the advantages of cages:
1. The cage equipment generally adopts a multi-layer structure, which can fully benefit the chicken house area, and raise more numbers in the chicken house of the same area, thereby increasing the economic benefits of the farmers in the later period.
2. With caged equipment, the chickens will not directly touch the feces, which can greatly reduce the diseases caused by fecal infections, reduce the incidence of diseases, and facilitate the disposal of feces. Cage breeding can also detect abnormalities in the flock in time. Once the chickens have disease symptoms, they can be detected in time for timely treatment, which can avoid economic losses caused by disease transmission.
3. The use of caged equipment allows the chickens to have enough feeding and drinking positions to ensure that each chicken can get reasonable drinking and feeding, and the uniformity of the chickens is better.
4. Reduce the labor intensity of the farmers. If flat rearing is used, not only the number of breeding is small, but also the breeder can’t manage it alone. The growth and production of chickens in cages makes it easier for farmers to manage the flock, including the maintenance of the sanitary environment inside the chicken house. The use of cages not only increases the number of breeding, but also reduces labor intensity. However, in the process of breeding, we must pay attention to some issues to achieve better results in cage breeding. The daily items to be noted in caged chickens are:
5. Stocking density. With cage-raising equipment, the breeding density is relatively high and the number is relatively large. Farmers cannot blindly place the flock of chickens. They must allocate a reasonable amount according to different specifications, sizes and types. If the stocking density exceeds the number of chicken cages, growth and development will be affected, and excessive numbers will also affect the air quality of the chicken house and the service life of the chicken cages. At the same time, it may also cause the chickens to be bullied and pecking each other. Therefore, farmers should make reasonable adjustments according to the growth stage of the chickens in time to ensure that the density of the chickens is appropriate, which is conducive to the growth and development of the chickens.
6. Do a good job of ventilation. The battery cage for chickens has a higher stocking density than a flat chicken house, and the population is larger, and there are more harmful gases such as manure and carbon dioxide. Therefore, the farmers must do a good job of ventilation during the breeding process. Exhaust harmful gases in a timely and effective manner, introduce fresh air into the chicken house, and keep the air in the chicken house fresh and with suitable humidity.
