Most chicken coops that use poultry farming cages to raise chickens in chicken coops are enclosed chicken coops, generally fully enclosed chicken coops without windows. Farmers use this kind of chicken house to raise layers and broilers, and the surroundings are better insulated. Some chicken raising equipment can be used to adjust the temperature and humidity in the chicken house, which can provide a suitable environment to protect the physiological functions of the chickens. Let's take a look at the advantages of closed chicken houses.
1. The environmental conditions are controllable, which meets the physiological and production needs of chickens. The chicken house environment is stable, not easily affected by natural environmental conditions, and production is stable and safe. Through manual control operation technology, it is beneficial to control the growth and development, sexual maturity and stimulate the laying cycle of chickens, and facilitate the monitoring of the quality and quantity of the chickens. Such as restricting breeding, compulsory moulting and other measures.
2. Intensification and standardization. The construction of chicken coops generally requires a lot of financial resources. The number of breeding is generally more than 10,000. The number of chickens per unit area is large and the land utilization rate is high. The growth and production of chicken flocks can generally be controlled in accordance with chicken breeding standards, and the products produced can meet the standards promulgated by the country.
3. Save manpower and reduce feeding costs. The ventilation, light, humidity, feeding, drinking water, and epidemic prevention of the enclosed chicken house are all mechanically and electronically controlled, which will reduce the manpower required for production. At the same time, due to the advanced nature of the feeding equipment, the waste of feed will be greatly reduced, thus reducing the feeding cost while improving the production efficiency.
4. Good isolation and disinfection, less cross-contamination. Since the enclosed chicken house is well isolated from the outside world, the chance of pathogenic microorganisms inside and outside the chicken house entering and leaving the chicken house will be reduced. At the same time, the disinfection and sterilization in the chicken house can be controlled in a certain space, so that the chance of cross-contamination will be greatly reduced, which is beneficial to the prevention and control of epidemic diseases, especially major animal diseases.
5. The disease is well controlled and the cost of medicine is low. Due to the low cross-contamination of the closed chicken house, the internal environment of the chicken house is well controllable, the chicken flock is less affected by the outside world, and the chicken flock has a low risk of infection. Compared with other types of chicken coops, even if the chickens are infected with the same disease, due to the good internal environment, the mechanization of the application makes the application more scientific, so the treatment is easier and the treatment cost is lower.
6. Can produce normally under extreme environment. In extreme environments, such as high temperature, high cold, high humidity, etc., closed chicken houses are controlled by completely artificial conditions. No matter what kind of extreme environment is encountered, a large amount of energy can be used for artificial control, so normal production can still be organized in extreme environments.
The above six points are the advantages of chicken coops that use chicken battery cages system to raise chickens. I hope that they can help farmers.
