What kind of feeding density is reasonable when using layer chicken cages to raise chickens? We all know that chickens have a short feeding cycle and chickens grow faster. In the process of raising chickens, if the breeding density is too large, the growth of the chickens will be hindered and the health of the chickens will also be affected. The appropriate density of chicken feeding is related to the effectiveness of raising chickens. It is necessary to describe the reasonable stocking density of chickens.

1. The effect of excessive density: During the process of raising chickens in chicken cages, the stocking density controlled by the farmers has a great influence on the health and growth of the chickens. The density is too high, the chickens are stepped on, the accidental mortality rate is high, and the epidemic rate is high. High stocking density has a negative impact on the growth performance, dynamic composition and meat quality of the chicken, which can reduce the quality of the chicken. Moreover, the density is too large, the air inside the house is simply polluted, the sanitation environment is not good, the food is crowded, the water is grabbed, the hunger and the food are uneven, and the formation of chickens is slow and the development is not neat. It is easy to infect diseases and sputum, which increases mortality.

2. Reasonable density for raising chickens: For newly born chicks, the farmers can control the stocking density at around 30/m2. Then as the chick grows up, the space is gradually enlarged or dispersed. When the chicken grows to 40 days old, the stocking density is generally 10-15/m2. Of course, if it is a non-closed house, it can raise 10/m2, the closed house can be 12/m2, and the environmentally controlled house can reach 13/m2.

The above is the author's reference to the experience of poultry farming equipment suppliers, the issue of raising the density of chickens in chicken cages for the farmers. Reasonable stocking density is a key factor in the success of chicken rearing, which is also the key knowledge of chicken breeding technology. The breeder must correctly arrange the density of the chickens to raise the chickens scientifically and efficiently to ensure the healthy feeding of the chicken farms.
