As we all know, in poultry farming, the uniformity of chicken growth is very important. A high-uniformity flock can ensure that most of the chickens obtain the appropriate feed nutrition, and the flock can produce a uniform response to light stimulation, thereby Make the egg production rate increase rapidly and steadily. This can be done by using automatic poultry chicken farming equipment to raise chickens.
Automated poultry chicken raising equipment can be used for scientific feeding. The first is uniform feeding. The automatic feeding system can ensure that all the troughs are fed in a short time during feeding. The chicken coop has sufficient holes to ensure that each chicken has a position when feeding, so as to ensure the uniformity of the feed for the chickens to a certain extent.
Reasonably restrict feed. Due to the low feeding amount during the rearing period, the feed cannot be evenly distributed in the feeding system, and the feeding time of the chickens is short, which easily leads to a decrease in the uniformity of the flock. In order to maintain the necessary weight gain and good uniformity of the chickens, different feeding restrictions must be adopted according to different ages to ensure that the chickens have sufficient feeding time. The usual feeding restrictions include alternate day feeding and 4/ 3 feeding restriction, 5/2 feeding restriction and 6/1 feeding restriction and other methods. When applying each feeding restriction method, it is necessary to switch to a looser feeding restriction method when the daily feeding amount reaches the breeder’s almost unbearable amount to achieve the best effect of improving uniformity.
Scientific grouping to ensure the uniformity of laying hens. By grouping the chickens into groups, the uniformity can be improved. Breeders should be grouped for the first time before 4 weeks of age. The hens in each hen house are divided into three groups of large, medium and small, and generally the proportion of medium chickens is not less than 50%. Then adjust the feeding amount according to the size of the chicken population, so that the weight of the larger or smaller chickens gradually approaches the standard. If the chicken house is very large and there are a lot of chickens of each grade, you can divide the chickens of each grade into several small pens according to the size, but the chickens of the same grade are usually given the same amount of feed.
Usually in the 8th and 12th week of the breeder, they will be grouped twice again. In the interval between several groups, chickens are generally not picked, unless there are significant differences in body weight between some chickens and other chickens in the group. Increasing uniformity by grouping is actually a remedy for chickens with poor uniformity. Because the chickens with good uniformity are achieved by adjusting the feed amount by grouping, different individuals may have the same weight but different body conditions. Therefore, it is more important to allow each chicken in the same pen to eat the same amount of feed than to group.
