At present, most breeders use automatic poultry farming equipment to raise chickens. The use of automatic chicken raising equipment to raise chickens can not only improve the efficiency of chicken raising, but also provide a comfortable growth environment for chicken houses and improve the growth and production performance of chicken flocks. So how should the chicken houses that use chicken raising equipment be located when they are built?
First of all, water and electricity supply should be sufficient. Water is an indispensable material for chicken raising. Electricity is also the same. Most chicken raising equipment needs electricity to operate. However, when choosing a chicken farm, farmers are usually far away from the city. Therefore, farmers are required to pay attention to site selection to ensure sufficient water supply and have substations and high-voltage power transmission lines nearby. This can not only save investment in farm construction, but also ensure power supply.
Secondly, the environmental conditions of the chicken house: when selecting the site, attention must be paid to the surrounding environmental conditions, and the site should not be located close to residential areas. the environment is noisy, and the growth of chicken flocks needs a quiet environment. in addition, attention should also be paid to more than 10km away from other chicken farms to avoid cross-infection of chicken flocks. in addition, farmers should also pay attention to the absence of pollution sources nearby, such as chemical plants, heavy industry factories and mines or dyeing plants that emit toxic gases, especially in the upwind direction.
Traffic and transportation conditions near the chicken house: the traffic near the chicken farm should be convenient, especially for users of laying hens. eggs should be transported and sold through experience. if the location is too remote and the traffic is inconvenient, it will not only be unfavorable for transportation, but also affect the traffic of customers. however, the chicken farm should not be too close to the roadside. chickens themselves are afraid of pollution. then the farmers can build a special road leading to the chicken farm.
Farmers should pay attention to whether the soil in this area has been polluted by infectious or parasitic pathogens, whether the air permeability and water permeability are good, and whether the site is dry. The ground should be flat or slightly sloped to facilitate drainage of ground water. In hilly areas, chicken farms should be built on the sunny side. Chicken houses can get sufficient sunshine, have good ventilation in summer, and block wind in winter, which is beneficial to the growth of chickens in poultry cage equipment.
It is necessary to understand the hydro-meteorological data here, including temperature changes, summer maximum temperature and duration days, winter minimum temperature and duration days, rainfall, dominant wind direction and wind frequency, etc. Pay attention to the heating and heat preservation of chicken coops in cold areas, and pay attention to the ventilation and cooling of chicken coops in hot areas. This knowledge is also the key to the successful construction of chicken farms. Farmers must master this knowledge so as to efficiently breed egg chickens.
