Automatic chicken cage systems has been installed in the chicken house. Although poultry farming has become less of a hassle than it used to be in free-range farming. But if you want to ensure the quality of poultry, you must pay attention to the prevention of diseases. Layer cage manufacturers in South Africa share 4 tips for reducing poultry sickness.
- Control the temperature of the house. Appropriate temperature can bring good benefits to feed. In addition to adjusting the temperature according to the standard temperature of the chickens, farmers also need to flexibly control the temperature according to the reaction of the chickens. Generally, when the temperature in the coop is too low, the flock will screech and gather. When the temperature in the house is too high, the flocks pant and gasp. When the temperature is suitable, the flock is evenly distributed. Therefore, farmers must combine to adjust the appropriate temperature.
- Pay attention to the hygiene of the chicken coop. If farmers do not pay attention to ventilation or manure removal, the chicken house will produce a large amount of harmful gases such as ammonia gas, which will seriously affect the health of chickens and even lead to death. Therefore, farmers should provide reasonable ventilation without reducing the normal temperature of the chicken house to reduce the content of harmful gases and dust in the chicken house, ensure the freshness of the chicken house, and ensure the healthy growth of the chicken house.
- Appropriate density. Chickens are now raised in layer cages in South Africa. Some farmers arbitrarily increase the density in order to be able to raise more chickens. When the density is too high, the chicken not only grows slowly, but also increases the harmful gases in the air. It makes chickens susceptible to Escherichia coli, coccidia, etc., which can accelerate the epidemic.
- Strengthen the sanitation and disinfection of the chicken house. Regular disinfection of the chicken house can effectively kill the pathogenic microorganisms in the chicken house. Disinfecting the chicken house is a key measure to ensure the health of the chicken house. Therefore, farmers must always put disinfection at home in the first place in the work of chicken disease prevention. It is necessary to do a good job in the disinfection of the three links before the chicks are put into the house, throughout the feeding period, and after the broilers are released.
The above is the reduction in the incidence of layer cage manufacturers in the process of using automatic battery cage systems to raise chickens. Sincerely suggest that poultry farmers have an elaboration on the temperature control of the chicken house, clean chicken house, suitable density, and disinfection of the chicken house.
