Summer is the peak period for laying hens. It is hot and rainy in summer, wet and hot, and it is also a high incidence of disease. More rain will cause the house to be too humid, and the laying hen prefers a dry environment. The over-wet environment will cause the laying rate of the laying hen to drop. Excessive temperature will make the laying hens easy to heatstroke and increase the mortality of laying hens. Seriously affect the economic interests of the farmers, what should be paid attention to in the summer?
1. Reduce density
Chickens are especially afraid of heat, especially for laying hens. If the temperature is too high, the laying hens will run around and not lay eggs. Therefore, after entering the summer, it is necessary to make corresponding measures according to the rise of the surrounding temperature, and reduce the breeding density in the chicken house in time, no more than five square meters per square meter. After entering the volts, it is best to reduce the number to four.
2. Open window scaffolding
Properly reducing the temperature of the house has a certain effect on the chicken. When the temperature has gradually risen above 25 degrees, the window of the house should be opened in time, because the temperature will be too turbid, and the window can be ventilated. Breathable, and can properly reduce the temperature inside the house. If it is higher than 30 degrees, a low temperature summer shelter should be established for the flock.
3. Change drinking water
In the summer, the chicken's drinking trough cannot be placed in the sun, because the sun's exposure will make the drinking water in the sink hot, and the chicken is not willing to drink. The water tank should be placed in a cool place with no direct sunlight to prevent the water temperature from getting higher. At the same time, always change the drinking water in the sink, because the water temperature will rise to the room temperature, preferably the well water in the well, so that the temperature of the chicken body can be appropriately lowered, and the appropriate white sugar can be added to the water. Cool down and stay away from the heat.
4. Early release night
In the summer, the chickens should be kept in the nest, and the chickens should not be kept in the chicken battery cages. Therefore, the chickens should be driven into the feeding field during the morning hours. Until the sun goes downhill and then circle again, try to reduce the time of the laying hens in the chicken house, because the eggs in the chicken house may appear to step on the eggs and quail eggs. The hens can also be allowed to stay overnight in the pergola after entering the raft.
5. Scientific breeding
In summer, the sunshine time is longer, and the energy consumption of the chicken is also fast, so the number of feedings should be increased. At least three times a day should be fed, fed once in the morning, evening, and evening. The amount of feeding in the morning and evening is larger, and it is smaller at noon. Each meal needs at least two additions to avoid eating some chickens that are not full, increasing the appetite of the laying hens and increasing the laying rate of the laying hens.
