Chicken pecking disease is a very common phenomenon in large-scale breeding. Because of improper feeding and management, excessive density of chickens, or improper feed combination, and lack of necessary nutrients for the chickens, how to use chicken cages to raise chickens to prevent chicken pecking disease

The first point is when using breeding equipment to raise chickens. The chicken flock should not be too crowded, and the chicken house should be cleaned frequently. Raise them in groups, especially for individual chickens that like to pecking randomly. Isolate them and feed them separately. The temperature in the brooding room should be moderate to ensure that the young chickens have a spacious playground and can be fully exercised. Feed them on time every day and provide the chickens with plenty of drinking water. The feed should not be too single to ensure the intake of amino acids, minerals and vitamins for the chickens.

Pay attention to good ventilation in the house to reduce the harmful gas content in the chicken house. Control humidity to avoid crowding, irritability and increased pecking habit caused by environmental discomfort. Cut the beak, cut the toe, and cut the crown in time to improve the structure of the chicken cage. An egg-laying box is added to the hen house to prevent the occurrence of egg pecking and anus pecking. In addition, better automated breeding equipment can also effectively reduce the occurrence of the above situations.

For chickens already suffering from pecking addiction and chickens that have been pecking, select and isolate them in time, and use chicken cages to feed them separately. Prevent re-spreading and the spread of vices. Reasonably reduce and control the density of chickens, pay attention to the sanitation and regular disinfection of the chicken coop. For feather pecking caused by insufficient calcium sulfate in the feed, natural gypsum can be ground into powder and added to the feed, 0.5 to 3 grams per chicken per day.

Layer battery cage are a widely used cage in the layer breeding industry today. Why do farmers use layer battery cage? Using stacked layer cages to raise chickens can not only quickly and effectively increase the number of chickens raised per unit area of ​​the farmer, but also improve the laying performance of the layers and increase the economic benefits in the later stage.

1. In the production process of the layer battery cage, the steel wire of the first-class material is used, and the new hot-dip galvanizing process is used for processing, which can effectively ensure the corrosion resistance and rust-free performance of the stacked layer cages. , And the characteristics of long service life, after adopting the new layered layer cage, high-density breeding can save more space, less investment, and good economic benefits.

2. It is precisely because of the new hot-dip galvanizing process adopted by the layer battery cagethat the surface of the cage is smoother and free of cracks, so that it can effectively prevent the chickens from scratching and causing diseases.

3. With the continuous increase in the size of layer hens, due to the characteristics of high strength and good toughness of layered layer cages, it is not easy to deform during use, which is more conducive to farmers to keep good chickens.

4. The bottom layer of stacked layer cages is at a certain distance from the ground, so that the chickens will not come into contact with the feces, which is also very effective in reducing the chance of disease in the chickens.

5. One of the biggest advantages of using stacked layer cages is that when farmers use stacked layer cages to raise chickens, they can prepare a complete set of automated breeding equipment for breeding. The stacked layer cage adopts a conveyor belt-type manure removal design, using PP material, which is durable. On the one hand, it can ensure the uniformity of the chicken flock's diet, on the other hand, it can also clean out the manure in the chicken house in time, reduce the pollution of the chicken house environment, and create good conditions for the healthy growth of the chicken flock.

More and more farmers use poultry breeding equipment to raise chickens. Many large farms also choose breeding equipment to raise chickens. If you want to reduce costs and raise chickens efficiently, you really need chicken cage equipment. So what should be the density of chickens when using automated breeding equipment?

We must first understand what the density of chickens is. The number of chickens per square meter of breeding area for chickens raised by automated breeding equipment is called breeding density. The feeding and drinking position occupied by each chicken is also a condition for mastering the stocking density. If the density is too high, the chicken flocks are crowded, which causes environmental humidity, uneven feeding, irregular growth of the chicken flocks, pecking addiction, weaker physique of the chickens, increased mortality, and decreased growth speed. The density is small, although the chicks survive and grow, it is not conducive to heat preservation and uneconomical. The density should be adjusted according to factors such as the type, breed, brooding method, season, age, and ventilation of the chicks.

Automated breeding equipment cage brooding should correspondingly sparse the group with the age, the density should be about 30% at the age of 3 to 4 weeks, and then about 15% at the age of 5 to 6 weeks. Egg-type chicks of 1-4 weeks of age occupy a trough position of 2 to 2.5 cm each, and 5-6 weeks of age increase to 5.0 cm each. If you use buckets, each bucket for 1-4 weeks old can feed 35 chicks, and each bucket for 5-6 weeks old can feed 25 chicks. Week-old chicks usually use vacuum drinkers, each of which can provide water for 50 to 70 chickens. If a sink is used, the location of the sink for each 0-6 week-old chick is 1 to 2 cm.

Broiler chickens are suitable for higher-density rearing, but it also depends on specific conditions. Generally, on-line flat rearing can be higher than on litter, and the flat rearing density can be higher, and the ventilation conditions are good, and the density can also be appropriately increased.

More and more farmers are using chicken cages and poultry breeding equipment to raise. The increase in materials such as chickens and manure in the chicken cage will produce a lot of harmful gases. The air must be ventilated in summer and winter. How can the equipment of the chicken farm continue to ventilate?

It is important to know that many farms only pay attention to the temperature of the chicken coop and ignore the ventilation of the chicken coop. Especially in the cold winter, in order to maintain the temperature of the chicken house and reduce the heating cost. Farmers generally do not ventilate the chicken house, and it is estimated that insufficient ventilation of the chicken house will lead to an increase in broiler disease in the middle and late stages. If it is not ventilated in time, it is easy to cause chicken diseases. Then the ventilation of the chicken house is divided into summer ventilation and winter ventilation.

Summer ventilation: The higher the relative humidity in the chicken cage, the higher the possibility of heat stress of the chicken. While accumulating heat, the temperature of the chicken will rise, the appetite of the chicken will decrease, the laying of eggs will stop, and the chicken will die. , The density of chickens is reduced, which helps to reduce heat stress caused by heat, improve the comfort of chickens, and improve their production performance. When airtight chicken cages are ventilated and cooled in summer, farmers need to use blowers and curtain equipment for cooling operations. In open-type chicken cages, farmers can use ceiling fans to promote air flow on the chickens in the hot season, and to a certain extent alleviate the heat stress on the chickens. At the same time, blowers can be installed along the side walls of the chicken coop to exhaust the air from the chickens. Or blow fresh air to the chickens. There is an insulating layer on the roof to reduce the heat caused by sunlight radiation.

Winter ventilation: Natural ventilation uses temperature differences, relative humidity and natural air flow to remove excess heat and moisture. However, due to the continuous changes of the external daily temperature, wind direction, and the direction of the sun, the farm does not use exhaust fans but uses natural circulation, so that the ventilation cannot achieve the desired effect.

We all know that farmers who raise a large number of farmers use poultry farming equipment. So what should be paid attention to when installing large-scale poultry farming equipment?

During the operation of the automatic chicken raising equipment, there is no need to personally check the operation of the equipment, and open the relevant inspection ports for maintenance. If it is necessary to query the operation status of related parts during the operation of large-scale automatic chicken breeding equipment, it is necessary for professionals to operate according to regulations and be equipped with necessary personnel protection equipment. During inspection, repair and maintenance, the staff must cut off the main power switch and turn off the main power switch. Otherwise, serious injury accidents may occur.

Some hen houses with 100,000 laying hens will use eight-layer stacked feeding machinery and equipment. The temperature control system, manure removal system, feeding system and egg collection system are built-in in the fully automated chicken breeding equipment. Electrical equipment, inspection and maintenance requirements related to large-scale automatic chicken breeding equipment are operated by professional electricians, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

The protective parts of the automatic chicken raising equipment are the most important part of the equipment and cannot be removed at will. The use or maintenance of the operating personnel should undergo professional technical training, and operate in strict accordance with the relevant operating procedures. There are related safety operations on the automated chicken raising equipment to raise chickens.

The high temperature in summer is very harmful to broilers and improper feeding and management. It will bring great economic losses to the farm. Therefore, it is necessary to raise seasonal broilers in summer to improve economic efficiency. It is necessary to do a good job in management.

Broilers have dense feathers and no sweat glands. Difficulty in dissipating heat in the body. The high temperature environment will adversely affect the growth and development of broilers. Therefore, broiler breeding in the hot summer must do a good job in preventing heatstroke and cooling. Farmers can buy automatic ventilation system to cool the chicken house.

When the temperature in the chicken house is high, broiler chickens keep their mouths open to evaporate water in the body to dissipate heat. Therefore, the chickens will have a higher demand for water. This also requires farmers to share sufficient clean water. Note that water storage equipment and sinks should be kept clean and hygienic.

Reduce the stocking density of chicken battery cages. Because this can ensure that the chicken house has smooth air, and it is easy to manage the chicken flock.

The above shared is the method of broiler management in summer. I hope it can help everyone to raise chickens better.

Broiler cage farming is a new revolution in broiler farming methods. battery broiler cage farming is one of the most advanced production methods in the broiler farming industry. It has the advantages of saving land resources, improving breeding conditions, improving production performance, and reducing disease incidence. It can effectively solve the problems of difficult farming land acquisition, serious environmental pollution and increased epidemics faced by the commercial broiler farming industry. And this breeding method can greatly reduce breeding costs compared with online breeding, thereby increasing economic benefits.

Equipped with an automatic manure removal conveyor belt to clean manure in time and reduce harmful gases such as ammonia and sulfur dioxide in the house; third, the entire cage is made of hot-dip galvanized metal anti-corrosion materials, and the bottom of the cage is covered with wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant plastic nets, which can effectively reduce broiler breasts The incidence of cysts and leg diseases; fourthly, the chicken house is fully enclosed, relying on the air inlets and exhaust fans on both sides of the house to maintain the air quality in the house, staggered installation of incandescent lamps and reasonable artificial lighting, using water heaters, wet curtains, The automatic spray device realizes temperature and humidity control in the house. The survival rate of caged broilers is higher than that of online breeding, and the average survival rate of batches has increased by 2.82%.

The poultry farm cage technology is changed from the traditional open greenhouse to a fully enclosed chicken house, which realizes the control of the small environment of the chicken house, so that the broiler breeding is no longer affected by external environmental factors, and effectively reduces the probability of disease infection and pathogen spread; the second is the inspection of the caged chicken house The range is small. The breeder can find the frail and sick chickens in time and select them for isolation and observation or raise them separately, which greatly improves the chicks.
The survival rate and the cure rate of diseased chickens.

Cage-bred broilers have a small contact and small range of activities, which can effectively control the spread of epidemics and reduce cross-infection; fourth, the chicken house is equipped with an automatic manure removal conveyor belt to clear the manure out of the chicken house in time, reducing the amount of harmful gases such as ammonia and sulfur dioxide. Effectively improve the breeding environment in the chicken house.

How to build battery layer cages for better management? Before the chicken house is constructed, it is necessary to consider the ease of production, management and disease prevention. The chicken coop should adapt to the needs of industrialization, conducive to intensive management and improve economic efficiency.

First of all, the function of the chicken house must be satisfied. Provide chickens with good conditions for growth, development and healthy life.

Second, the chicken house must meet the epidemic prevention requirements. The construction and planning of the chicken farm should be able to achieve good environmental effects as the starting point. Create a pollution-free, pollution-free green and ecological chicken house for the chicken house. Such a chicken house can better prevent epidemics and also help protect the environment.

Third, the construction of chicken farms must plan the space in advance. Because now farmers will use automatic chicken raising equipment. So the chicken coop should have enough space for equipment to raise chickens

Fourth, the construction plan of chicken coops should take into account natural conditions such as topography, water sources, and traffic. The basic requirements are to be conducive to production, management, and epidemic prevention. Try to provide a clean and suitable production environment for the chickens.
