The use of broiler battery cage equipment for broiler chickens is now an indispensable device for broiler chickens. At present, there are more and more manufacturers producing broiler cage equipment, and the types are increasing. The choice of farmers has also increased. But no matter what manufacturer's broiler cage is chosen, scientific feeding management is the focus. Then, how to carry out feeding management by raising chickens in broiler cages?

1. Temperature: There is a temperature difference when using a chicken cage. The lower the temperature outside, the greater the temperature difference in the room. Feeding brooding is generally at the highest level because the highest temperature is the highest, which is conducive to saving heat. On the first day of the chicken entering the cage, the temperature is controlled at 33-34 °C, and the temperature can be adjusted according to the condition of the chick. When the temperature is suitable, the flocks are evenly distributed, lively and active, and have a strong appetite; when the temperature is low, concentrate on 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 cage culture was large, which was 1~2~C lower than the flattening temperature. The heat stress should be avoided and the food intake should be reduced.

2. Ventilation: The key to the use of broiler cage farming is ventilation. Only reasonable ventilation can discharge harmful gases, control temperature and reduce the occurrence of diseases. The density of the unit area of broiler cage farming is large, so ventilation is more important. Within 24 hours after the chickens enter the scene, due to the large space of the whole chicken, it is not necessary to ventilate. As the age of the chicken increases, the ventilation volume is gradually increased, and the position and size of the air inlet are adjusted. The time and season should be adjusted continuously, and the air in the house should be odorless, glare-free, oxygen-free, and comfortable. To create a good growth space for chickens, it can enhance the body's disease resistance and reduce the incidence of diseases.

3. Use of poultry farming equipment: Nowadays, relatively large chicken farms have relatively advanced and perfect poultry farming equipment. But if you have equipment, you don't necessarily have to raise chickens. With the increasing scale and automation, farmers should be familiar with the principle of equipment and skilled operation, and always observe. For example, the temperature controller, the temperature controller and the temperature of the house have a certain error, this error value should be adjusted to the minimum, so that the temperature of the house can be adjusted to the optimum temperature for the chicken. 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 equipment failures. Once the equipment is used improperly or the equipment fails, it will cause huge economic losses.

4. Drinking water: After entering the chicken battery cages, the chicken should ensure that the water can be drunk within 2 hours. The purpose is to let the chicken learn to drink water as soon as possible. In addition, the height of the automatic drinker should be adjusted in time, and the height should be moderate. Too low or too high will affect the drinking water of the chicken. In addition, it is necessary to properly adjust the pressure reducing valve on the drinking line. The pressure is too high, the chicks are afraid to avoid and waste water resources; the pressure is too small, and the drinking water at the end of the chick may not reach the standard. As the age of the chicken increases, the water pressure is appropriately increased. The first time the chicks drink water, they should use warm water at 25 °C and add 5% glucose and 0.1% vitamin C to the water. The drinking fountain should be washed frequently. During the whole brooding period, the drinking water can not be interrupted. From the second day of brooding, the medicine for preventing chicken white pheasant is added to the drinking water.

5. Illumination: Most of the chicken houses in broiler cages are artificially illuminated, because artificial lighting makes it easy to control the lighting time. Seven days before brooding, 24 hours of light is generally used, and then gradually 22 hours. The purpose is to let the chicks get used to the dark environment, so that the chickens will panic due to a sudden power outage, and crush casualties will occur. Then gradually increase to 24 hours of light a week before the release.
