When using poultry farming equipment to raise chickens, what is the reasonable density of the chickens? This is a concern of farmers. We all know that chickens have a short feeding cycle and chickens grow faster. If the farmers are over-denatured, the growth of the flock will be hindered, which will affect the health of the flock. The stocking density of the flock is also related to whether the nutrition of the flock can keep up. If the flock is malnourished, it will lead to the economic benefits of the farmers. The author below tells about the reasonable stocking density of chickens in chicken cages.
1. The effect of excessive density: In the process of raising chickens in chicken cages, the stocking density has a great influence on the health and growth of chickens. The density is too high, the chickens are stepped on, the accidental mortality rate is high, and the epidemic rate is high. High stocking density has a negative impact on the growth performance, dynamic composition and meat quality of the chicken and will reduce the quality of the chicken. Moreover, the density is too large, the air inside the house will be polluted, the sanitation environment is not good, the food is crowded, the water is grabbed, the hunger is not uniform. Chickens develop slowly, are unevenly developed, are prone to infections and convulsions, and increase mortality.
2. Reasonable density for raising chickens: For newly born chicks, the breeder usually stabilizes the stocking density at around 30/m2. Then as the chick grows up, the space is gradually enlarged or dispersed. When the chicken grows to 40 days old, the stocking density is generally 10-15/m2. Of course, if it is a non-closed house, it can be placed at 10/m2, the closed house can be 12/m2, and the environmentally controlled house can reach 13/m2.
The above is the problem of raising the density of chickens in chicken battery cages system for the farmers. Reasonable feeding density is the key factor for the success of chicken breeding. This is also the key knowledge of the chicken breeding technology. Chicken farmers must correctly arrange the density of chicken feeding. Scientifically and efficiently raise chickens to ensure the healthy feeding of chicken farms.
