What should I pay attention to when raising chickens in chicken cages in summer? Use chicken battery cages to raise chickens. In the summer, especially when the weather is hot, you need to pay attention to a variety of problems, such as ventilation, humidity, cooling and so on.

Most farmers can ventilate chicken cages when the weather is hot, but few can effectively ventilate them. For example, most chicken farmers install electric fans in the chicken coops to blow directly onto the chickens. This is not very effective, because the chickens have no sweat glands, but the hair is not able to achieve the cooling effect, and most of them The fans in the chicken cage are blown from top to bottom, which will organize the ventilation in the chicken house.

Some farmers know that they want to blow from the outside to the inside, but they don't understand which fan should be inward, and which fan should be outward. In fact, it is very simple. Just install the fan that blows in the chicken coop inside and install it outside. The fan is installed on top because cold air flows underneath and hot air flows over it. This not only can form a cycle of hot and cold air, forming air convection, but also a good cooling and ventilation effect.

Another way to cool down the summer house is to spray water. Many farmers know that the water spray is cooling, but I don’t know how to use it. The time of spraying water should be selected in the hot and dry weather, because the water will evaporate quickly, and use water vapor to absorb heat and cool down. Remember to spray water when the humidity is too high, so that the water cannot evaporate. The humidity in the cage house is getting bigger and bigger, not only can it not be cooled, but it will also be counterproductive. In this case, ventilation is required. In summer, the weather is hot, and drinking water for chickens is also a problem. Farmers need to go to the chicken coops to check the drinking water. Prevent chickens from dying from water shortages.
