Chicken poultry farming equipment manufacturers have found that temperature restrictions at different periods of time will also continue to affect the healthy growth of broilers. In the process of raising broilers, the temperature control in the chicken house is the key to affecting the chicken flock. If the temperature in the chicken house is too high or too low, it will affect the chickens. The flock grows healthily, so farmers must pay special attention to the temperature control in the chicken house. The following describes the temperature control in different stages of broiler chickens.
1. Brooding period: During the brooding period, the breeder should set the temperature of the chicken house before entering the chicks, and keep the chickens warm in advance, so that they will not feel cold after entering the chicken house. Generally, broiler cages raise chickens. They are all closed chicken coops for brooding. Before brooding, adjust the thermal insulation equipment in the chicken coop, check whether the radiator and pipes are leaking or not hot, to avoid dead spots; generally, the temperature for chicks is about 30℃, so Breeders should heat the chicken house to 26°C before entering the chicks to keep warm in advance. Because caged broilers adopt the whole house brooding method, the brooding space is large, adjust the temperature in the chicken house to ensure that the temperature is uniform to avoid too much temperature difference.
2. Controlling the temperature in the chicken house during the young period: raising broiler chicks generally requires a relatively high temperature to allow the chickens to adapt and grow healthily. During the brooding period, the breeder can keep the temperature of the chicken house at about 33°C, and then the brooding period Decrease 0.5°C every week thereafter. Because the chicks themselves have a low ability to regulate body temperature within 7 days of age, the temperature in the brooding house should be kept constant within 7 days of age. The breeder should always check the temperature in the chicken house to avoid fluctuating high and low temperature, which may reduce the resistance of the chicks.
3. Controlling the temperature in the chicken house during the growing period: The growing period of broilers generally refers to the broilers from the 7th day to the slaughter. Starting from the brooding period, the temperature is reduced by 0.5 ℃ every week, from the 21st day to the slaughter time. From now on, the temperature of the chicken house should be maintained at about 26°C.
The above is the proper temperature for broiler chickens in different growth stages during the process of raising chickens in the broiler cages arranged for the farmers. A suitable temperature can not only promote the healthy development of the chickens in the chicken farm, but also reduce the disease For the occurrence of hen house, farmers must master the common sense knowledge of chicken house temperature, which is also the key to chicken house construction.
