Broiler chickens do not have sweat glands, so farmers who use broiler chicken cages to raise chickens must pay attention to reasonable cooling and nutritional control of the chicken house in the hot season.

In order to reduce the adverse effects of high temperature on broilers, it can be adjusted from the perspective of nutrition to achieve good results. First, we must adjust the formula of broiler rations. In the hot season, the price of broiler chickens decreases, the feed intake decreases, and the nutrient intake is insufficient. This is to increase the nutrient concentration in the diet to ensure that the broiler chickens receive sufficient nutrients. However, it should be noted that some farms believe that simply increasing the protein concentration in the diet and feeding broiler chickens with high-protein feed can meet the nutritional needs of broiler growth and development, but this is not the case. This is because the broiler will further reduce the feed intake of the broiler after ingesting the high-protein feed. In severe cases, it will even refuse to eat, resulting in insufficient energy intake of the broiler, which will inevitably affect the growth and weight gain of the broiler. In the hot season, the energy level in the diet can be appropriately increased, while the protein level in the diet can be reduced. At this time, broilers will eat more feed in order to meet the demand for protein, and at the same time, they will take in sufficient energy. The weight will increase and the feeding effect will be better.

Adjust the number of feedings and feeding time per day. Broiler chickens have poor appetite when the temperature is too high. For this reason, you can adjust the feeding time to avoid feeding the chickens during the high temperature period of the day. Try to choose the cooler time of the day to feed the chickens, and you can be earlier in the morning. , Feed the chickens later in the evening to reduce body temperature and improve feed utilization. In addition, allowing broilers to rest during periods of high temperature can increase the daily gain of broilers.

Provide adequate drinking water and increase the amount of cool feed fed. Broilers can effectively cool down by drinking cool drinking water. For this reason, try to provide fresh and cool drinking water to broilers in the hot season. In addition, in the choice of feed, the amount of feed for roots, tubers, melons and fruits can be increased, which can reduce temperature and reduce heat stress.

Regulate the acid-base balance in the body. In the hot season, broiler chickens are prone to adverse reactions of respiratory poisoning, and the acid-base balance in the body is destroyed, thereby causing physiological function disorders. For this reason, it is necessary to adjust the acid-base balance in the broilers.

The above is the nutritional control of broiler chickens in hot weather shared by poultry chicken equipment manufacturers. I hope that the above content can help farmers.
