The number and size of chickens raised in broiler cage equipment are now rising at an alarming rate. The breeding density per unit area is large, and the management level of the breeder is also higher than the net maintenance requirement. In fact, no matter what farming mode and breeding conditions, the primary task of our managers is to manage the chickens so that the chickens have a comfortable living environment, so that the chickens are not sick or less sick.
Today’s sharing is mainly about some suggestions for the management of broiler chickens in broiler cages. Friends can refer to:
1. The disinfection
The chicks should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected 5 days before entering the site to avoid corrosive disinfectant such as caustic soda to prevent equipment damage. The effect of fumigation with formaldehyde potassium permanganate is very good, but it has requirements for the temperature and humidity of the house, otherwise it will affect the disinfection effect. It is recommended to use the smoked net, there is no requirement for the environment, and the disinfection effect is dozens of times that of ordinary drugs. Seal the doors and windows, and open the window after 24 hours. At this time, the personnel entering and leaving the house must be strictly disinfected to avoid destroying the disinfection effect. After the chicks enter the chicken farm, they clean the ground every day to reduce the irritation of the respiratory tract by dust and chicken fluff. Every other day, the whole site should be disinfected with chickens. Several disinfectants can be used alternately. When disinfecting, avoid the vaccination period of more than 24 hours.
2. Temperature
When raising chickens in broiler cages, there are temperature differences in the upper, middle and lower cages, and the lower the outdoor temperature, the greater the temperature difference. Brooding is generally at the highest level, because the highest temperature is the highest, which is conducive to saving heat. The chicks enter the field on the first day, the temperature is controlled at 33 ~ 34 ° C, but also according to the state of the chicks to adjust the temperature. When the temperature is suitable, the flocks are evenly distributed, active and active, and the appetite is strong; when the temperature is low, the neck is constricted and concentrated to the heat source. Squeeze each other, the body trembles; when the temperature is too high, the amount of water increases, the appetite decreases, the breathing speeds up, and the neck feathers are soaked. In the first week, the temperature dropped to 30~C, and then decreased by 2°C every week. The density of three-dimensional culture was large, which was 1~2~C lower than the flattening temperature. It should avoid the heat stress and the food intake decreased.
3. Ventilation
The key to successful aquaculture is ventilation, reasonable ventilation, elimination of harmful gases, temperature control, and reduction of ascites, chronic respiratory diseases and colibacillosis. The density of the three-dimensional farming unit is large, so ventilation is more important. Within 24 hours after entering the farm, the chicks can be ventilated due to the large space of the whole sports. As the age of the chicken increases, the ventilation volume is gradually increased, and the position and size of the air inlet are adjusted. Day, night, cloudy, sunny, spring, summer, autumn and winter. It is necessary to constantly adjust in a timely manner to achieve the feeling of no smell, no glare, no oxygen deficiency and more comfort in the house, to create a good growth space for the chickens, enhance the body’s disease resistance and reduce the occurrence of diseases.
4. Use of chicken farming equipment
Large and medium-sized chicken farms have advanced poultry farming equipment, but with advanced equipment, it is not always possible to raise chickens. With the continuous improvement of scale and automation, the failure of farming is not uncommon. The key is the organic combination of people and equipment. The operator should not only be familiar with the principle of poultry farming equipment, but also observe it carefully. Because there is a certain error between the temperature of the thermostat and the temperature in the house, the error value should be adjusted to the minimum so that the temperature of the house can be adjusted. The temperature at which the chicken is most suitable for growth. In addition, the operator must be proficient in the use of the equipment and the feeding procedures of the chicken at various stages, and can promptly discover and repair the equipment failures. Once the equipment is used improperly or the equipment fails, it will cause huge economic losses.
