The use of layer chicken cages to raise chickens is a popular method in the breeding industry in recent years and is also the result of the continuous development of science and technology. The use of layer chicken cages has enabled many farmers to achieve intensive, large-scale farming mode, which has also enabled the chicken farm to develop rapidly. The breeding method has improved, and the culture technology has to be changed in order to be suitable for the new farming method, so that the laying hens can play a better production performance. The following authors will introduce the technical points of using poultry farming equipment to raise chickens.
1. Use chicken layer cages to raise the density of chickens: Feeding density refers to the area of the cage bottom of each square chicken. On a certain chicken house ground, the higher the stocking density, the more chickens are raised, but the density is too large, the chicken house is poor in air, the chicken activity and diet are inconvenient, and the growth rate and egg production rate are reduced. The result is more harmless. Therefore, even if it is raised at a high density, the density should be appropriate and not too dense.
2. Use chicken cages to raise enough chickens and sinks: In large groups of high-density feeding conditions, each chicken must have the proper length of the trough and sink. And place these feeding troughs and sinks as evenly as possible in all parts of the house. In this way, although the density of the flock is high, each chicken can have a certain position, and the drinking water can be eaten nearby to ensure that the water is not lacking, so that the production performance is not affected.
3. Use layer rearing equipment to raise chickens to enhance ventilation: Multi-layer feeding of egg cages is a high-density feeding mode. Therefore, under high-density feeding conditions, the number of chickens is so large that the amount of breathing is large, and the relative humidity and the concentration of harmful gases in the house are also likely to rise. In the high temperature season, the temperature is also easy to rise. In order to maintain a good air condition in the house, ventilation equipment must be installed or added to increase the ventilation and constantly exchange enough fresh air.
4. The chicks are doing the work of breaking the worms: large groups of high-density breeding can easily cause mutual ignorance. In order to prevent the occurrence of cockroaches, cockroaches, reduce the death of chickens, avoid the waste of chicken picky feed, etc., usually at 6-10 days old, cut the chicken cocks up and down 1/3-1/2.
5. Control the light intensity of the chicken house: When the breeding density is high and the light is very strong, it is easy to cause the chicken's irritability and restlessness. Even after the broken sputum, the phenomenon of sputum anal will occur, and the closed chicken house will grow the chicken illuminance. It should be in 5-10 lux, and the laying hens are in 10 lux. If the ordinary chicken house is very light, when the anal fistula occurs, under the condition of ensuring proper ventilation, the chicken house should be obscured as much as possible.
The above five points are some of the points that the author tells the farmers about the use of laying hens to raise chickens. There are many technical points in the use of laying hens to raise chickens, whether it is the environment, feeding or immunization, and disinfection, etc., must be done. Only the laying hens can be better kept, so that the laying hens can play better performance.
Poultry farming equipment allows farmers to easily develop the chicken industry, improve the economic benefits of farmers, and provide a very comfortable environment for chickens. Due to the convenience of using poultry farming equipment, more and more farmers choose to use fully automatic chicken farming equipment for chicken raising. Here we talk about the advantages of fully automatic chicken farming equipment.
1. Save land: flat raise only 5 chicken houses per square meter, cage raise 15-25, than flat raise 3-5 times more chickens. In general, flat chicken houses are equipped with a playground twice as large as a chicken house, and each flat layer takes up 6-10 times more space than a cage.
2. Saving feed: The activity of caged laying hens is small, the density is high in winter, the temperature in the house is high, the energy used to maintain the chicken body is less, and the diet is generally less than 1-2 dollars a day.
3. Save labor and save trouble: When raising the feed, the chickens are called back and are very difficult to feed. The caged chicken rings are in the cage. Feeding, adding water, quail eggs along the line in front of the cage, observing the chickens, catching the chickens, etc. are very convenient, and there is no need to lay grass or soil washers. It is feeding hundreds of chickens and it doesn't take much time every day.
4. Conducive to disease prevention: Chickens in the cage will not go east and west, do not touch the feces, so the chance of contracting diseases is greatly reduced. The eggs laid are not in contact with grass, soil, and feces, and the surface is very clean. The house does not cover the grass, the dust is less, and the environment is relatively clean. Pure feces are removed from the cage. It can be used as feed after drying at high temperature. It contains a lot of non-protein nitrogen, which is especially suitable for feeding ruminant livestock - cattle and sheep.
5. There will be no contradiction with agricultural production: chickens are kept in chicken battery cages, they will not wander around, buckwheat eat rice, harm crops, and will not die by eating poison.
In the process of intensive cultivation of broilers using broiler rearing equipment, the density is high because of the large number of cultures. The need for farmers to ventilate in time to ensure the environment of the house. Therefore, the ventilation of the house is very important in the daily breeding process. So what is the effect of ventilating the house? The author will tell the farmers about the importance of ventilation.
The ventilation of the chicken house will directly affect the healthy growth of the broiler. The healthy growth of the broiler flock is inseparable from oxygen. There is enough oxygen in the chicken house to promote the metabolism of the chicken, to maintain the health of the chicken and increase the conversion rate of the feed. Especially in the closed chicken house where broiler battery cages are used for breeding, the density of breeding is large, and the carbon dioxide exhaled by the chickens will be many. In addition, the harmful gases such as ammonia in the chicken house may cause broilers if not ventilated in time. Inhaled harmful gases to develop diseases.
During the daily breeding process, the farmers can remove many harmful gases from the house through the excellent ventilation of the house, such as water, carbon dioxide, ammonia, dust and residual heat in the house. It can be discharged through effective ventilation to supply enough fresh air to the flock.
However, in the daily breeding process, many farmers do not pay attention to the ventilation of the house. If the broiler flocks are poorly ventilated, the incidence of respiratory diseases and colibacillosis in broilers may be added. In the middle and late stages of broiler chickens, the demand for oxygen is greatly increased, and the amount of excretion is increasing. Therefore, farmers are required to increase the amount of ventilation to ensure the demand of broilers, but it is necessary to pay attention to ventilation while maintaining a suitable temperature.
In the later stage of broiler breeding, farmers should pay more attention to the ventilation of the house. Because the broiler gains weight in the later period, and the feed intake is also increased, the excretion of natural broiler chickens is also increased, the feces are more, the ammonia is more, and there are carbon dioxide exhaled by the broilers, body heat, and excretion. Moisture, and dust that floats in the air inside the house. If the farmers are not able to ventilate in time and discharge these harmful gases into the house, it will lead to a bad environment in the house, which will not only seriously affect the growth rate of the broilers, but also increase the mortality rate of the broilers.
Although poultry farming equipment is automated farming, there are several problems that need attention and manual control. Here are some important questions for the use of chicken cages.
1. Broiler chicken immunization: immunization is an important means and method to prevent infectious diseases. However, many farmers do not think it is necessary to do this work, breeding can be good. But no matter how well farmers feed, there are some sources of infection in the chicken coop that can also cause disease in the chickens. So farmers in addition to do a good job feeding work, but also to pay attention to the vaccination of chickens. Reasonable immunity can effectively prevent the occurrence of infectious diseases, and it is also the key to ensure the health of chickens, which cannot be replaced by drugs.
2. Chicken selection: chicken selection is also a very important part. When breed door is choosing chicken, do not covet cheap certainly, choose to do not have safeguard, the manufacturer with unreliable quality.For chicks, we should choose better quality, the best choice of A chick. Farmers must avoid the cost savings and choose to raise B chicks or small hatchling mix. This will not save costs, but will cause later economic losses.
3. Preheating before raising chicks: there are many preparatory work to be done before raising chicks, such as disinfection, debugging equipment, washing water line, etc., but today the chicken cage manufacturers mainly to farmers about preheating. Preheating work is often ignored by farmers, if the hen house does not preheat or pretemperature is not thorough, chicken chicks into the hen house. Although the air temperature has reached the requirements.But the temperature of the ground and the net frame of the chicken coop is still very low. The cool air on the ground will cause the chicks to catch cold easily and cause diseases. Therefore, it is recommended that breeding farms (households) start preheating 8 hours before feeding chicks, and keep the temperature above 25°C in the shed. In the chicken arrived in the first 2 hours, will increase the temperature 32℃, maintain humidity in 55% ~ 60%, must not because want to save coal money to cause greater losses.
4. Tunnel ventilation, heat preservation, moisture control: these three factors including a control bad affects to the healthy growth of the brood, especially in winter and summer, winter farmers to heat preservation are often not ventilated, during the summer and because of the hot weather also ignores the temperature inside the hen house, in every season we should make the corresponding preparation, ventilation, heat preservation, moisture work should strictly follow the scientific farming methods, suggest farmers so listen to the weather forecast every day. Timely and effective response to the occurrence of extreme weather to reduce the stress of chickens caused by sudden weather changes.
In recent years, the chicken industry has been flourishing, and there are more and more chickens being farmed. The chicken cages used by farmers in the process of raising chickens are also different. The authors have compiled many cases of chicken battery cages for the breeding of laying hens. There are farmers who want to buy chicken cages for reference.
There are two types of chicken cages commonly used, one is A-type layer chicken cages:
The benefits of the A-type stepped egg cage: the upper and lower layers of the cage are completely staggered, usually 3 to 4 layers. The utility model has the advantages that the bottom of the cage does not need to have a dung board, and if it is a pit, there is no clearing system; the structure is simple; the ventilation and the surface of each layer are large.
Features:
1. The mesh is smooth to prevent the chicken from being injured in the foot.
2. Separation of the net and the bottom net can effectively prevent the fatigue syndrome of the anus and laying hens.
3. The mesh is galvanized to improve the service life. (Zinc plating is currently divided into cold-galvanized, hot-dip galvanized, hot-swallowed zinc)
4. High-density breeding saves land, is conducive to epidemic prevention, and reduces the incidence of poultry diseases.
5. Unique door reinforcement design, effectively preventing the head from swaying and wasting feed when the chicken is eating. The cage door is enlarged to facilitate various operations on the chicken.
6. Scalability: It can be adjusted according to the size of the site, and an automatic drinking water system can be installed.
7. The chicken manure conveyor belt is installed at the bottom to effectively solve the pollution in the chicken house, and directly transfer the manure to the outside to reduce the manual input.
The other is the H-shaped three-dimensional battery layer chicken cages:
1. Three-dimensional egg cage net mesh combination type, hot-dip galvanizing production is durable;
2. The bracket is made of cold plate rolling forming galvanized, the trough is made of white plastic steel, including adjusting plate, including joint, plastic mat mesh aperture Q15mm;
3. The egg cage cage has a smooth surface with no cracks, scratches and other harmful defects. After the chicken cage mesh is formed, it can effectively prevent the chicken foot injury and prevent the chicken foot from being infected due to the wire laceration. The occurrence of staphylococci;
4. Easy to assemble, easy to raise, easy to manage, save space, effectively prevent infectious diseases, improve the survival rate of chickens;
5. Reduce labor costs, achieve full automation of feeding, feeding, drinking, decontamination and environmental protection, reduce the labor intensity of workers and save labor costs;
6. Investment province, using cascading farming equipment under the same breeding scale, with high stocking density, saving land and high degree of intensification.
China's aquaculture industry has been continuously improving, and the farmers who breed laying hens have also greatly improved their economic benefits. In terms of farming technology, it is also constantly changing, making farmers more relaxed and efficient in the breeding process. Then the author will talk about the important points of chicken farming technology in modern poultry farming equipment.
1. Configure feed according to nutritional standards: Many farmers choose cheap feed to save on feed costs. However, the generally cheap feed does not meet the nutritional requirements of the laying hen. Although the cost of the feed is reduced, the nutrition of the hen does not meet the needs, which will affect health and production, and undoubtedly increase the cost invisibly. Therefore, farmers should choose reasonable feed ingredients according to the nutritional needs of different stages of the laying hens, and pay attention to the quality of the feed. The feed ingredients require fresh and mold-free, pay attention to the storage of the feed.
2. When feeding, it is necessary to add less diligent feeding: some farmers will feed one day's feed in one time when feeding the laying hens, but once they do, they will let the hens eat. The remaining feed is wasted. Therefore, it is necessary to add a small amount of feed several times, and each feeding should not exceed 1/3 of the trough. At the same time, it is necessary to supply sufficient clean drinking water to feed high-quality fresh green and juicy feed. In addition, farmers can add sand to the feed to facilitate digestion.
3. Scientific use of feed additives: The scientific and rational use of some additives is helpful for the production of flocks. It is recommended that farmers add 3% to 5% of the fat in the diet of the laying hens, which can increase the egg production rate by 10% to 12%. Adding 0.02% to 0.1% of vitamin C to the diet can increase the egg production rate by 4% and increase the feed utilization rate by 8% to 10%. Adding 50mg/kg of tryptophan to the diet can increase the egg production rate by 10%. In addition, the addition of bacitracin zinc, benzimycin, etc. to the diet can prevent disease and increase egg production rate.
4. Control the environment of the chicken house: Whether the temperature and humidity of the chicken house are reasonable, it is very important for laying eggs. The suitable temperature of the chicken house before the laying of the laying hen is 13 ~ 23 ° C, the humidity is 50% ~ 55%, too high or low temperature, humidity will lead to a decrease in feed utilization and egg production. The hens can use the gap light for 16 hours a day, and the light intensity is based on the chickens who can see the foraging. In addition, there is also the feeding density of laying hens. It is better to keep the laying hens more than 10/m2, but the winter feeding density can be increased by about 30%.
5. Do a good job of forced moulting: laying hens are a must-have thing, but many farmers choose to force moulting for laying hens in order to reduce the benefits of laying hens during moulting. This allows the laying hens to moultate faster and without affecting the performance of laying eggs, which is an indispensable part of modern laying hen culture.
The above six points are some of the farming techniques that the author tells the farmers about using the layer chicken battery cages for modern laying hens. It is also a way for farmers to improve their efficiency in the process of raising chickens, and hopes to help farmers.
Wet curtains are a must-have poultry farming facility that is necessary for every farm. It can be combined with a wind turbine and is the most cost-effective way to cool down in summer. However, if the farmer installs the wet curtain, the installation is not reasonable, it will not play a good cooling effect. Referring to the experience of other farmers, the author summarizes the points that need to be paid attention to when installing the wet curtain, and now share it with the farmers.
1. The house should be as closed as possible: we know that the wet curtain device relies on the formation of negative pressure in the house to cool down. If the house is not tightly sealed, no negative pressure can be formed in the house, and the cold wind through the wet curtain will be less, and the hot air outside the house will be drilled in. Therefore, it is not possible to open the window because the summer temperature is high.
2. Reasonably determine the number of fans in the house and the area of the water curtain: the number of fans and the area of the water curtain should be determined according to the local climatic conditions, the size of the chicken, and the stocking density. At the same time, the effective air intake area will decrease due to the use of the wet curtain device for a period of time. Therefore, it can be appropriately increased when calculating the wet curtain area. Under normal circumstances, according to the feeding of 10,000 laying hens, if the average weight of the chicken is 1.8kg, it is necessary to equip 25m2 and 4 sets of fans.
3. Keep a certain distance between the wet curtain and the chicken battery cage system: Why should the wet curtain and the chicken fingertips keep a certain distance? In fact, this is to prevent the cold wind from coming in directly on the chicken. Under normal circumstances, the interval between the wet curtain and the chicken cage should be 2-3 meters. In this case, it is not easy to damage the wet curtain when transporting the house to clean the work and collecting the egg cart.
4. Be sure to control the opening time of the wet curtain: If the wet curtain opening time is not well controlled, it will cause waste of water and electricity. Therefore, it is generally preferred to open the wet curtain from 13 to 16 o'clock every day.
5. Check the wet curtain before opening: In order to ensure the normal operation of the wet curtain system, before the wet curtain is opened, be sure to check the 3 aspects: (1) Check whether the fan is normal. (2) Check whether the corrugated fiber paper, water collector, water pipe, etc. are smooth and normal, and whether there is sediment. (3) Check whether the filter of the submersible pump inlet is in good condition and whether there is water leakage in the water circulation system.
6. Reasonable use of wet curtains: During the use of wet curtains, the wet curtain filter should be cleaned once a day. Regularly check if the wet curtain is blocked, deformed or collapsed. If this happens, it will affect the cooling effect. The cause of the blockage is dust in the air, impurities in the water, poor quality of the wet curtain paper, deformation, no drying after use, or no mold on the surface for a long time.
Therefore, the wet curtain device preferably keeps the fan running for more than half an hour after cutting off the water source every day, and then stops after the wet curtain is dried, so as to prevent the growth of the algae, thereby avoiding clogging of the water pump, the filter and the water distribution pipe.
The above is the installation precautions of the wet curtains summarized by the author. For the precautions during the use of the wet curtain, please refer to the "Precautions when using the wet curtain".
Once the laying rate of the laying hens becomes low, it will affect the economic benefits of the farmers. What is the reason for the low egg production of the laying hens?
1. If there are some hidden diseases in the flock, such as improper immunization of the disease, normal management does not pay attention to sanitation, and there are potential bacterial infections that will affect the egg production and peak egg production time, especially the spread and flu. Destroying the reproductive system of the flock, seriously affecting the egg production of the flock in poultry farm equipment manufacturer
2, the current feeding and management conditions of laying hens generally do not meet the standards, management, disinfection can not keep up, it is easy to occur salpingitis and oophoritis, in order to prevent these inflammations, we must start from management, at the same time Do well in the prevention and treatment of salpingitis and ovarian inflammation in advance, generally it is best to use anti-inflammatory drugs once a month.
3, drugs, due to the current environment, management methods and other reasons, the chickens are inevitable, sometimes have to use some drugs, such as sulfonamides, aminophylline, chlortetracycline, etc. It is influential. If you do not pay attention to maintaining their egg production, it will take longer. There are many anti-viral drugs that sometimes cause irreversible damage to the reproductive system. Therefore, we must be cautious when using drugs.
4. In the chicken house, the temperature is too high or the temperature is too low, resulting in a decrease in egg production. The chickens are difficult to adapt to such an environment. We should try to improve the living environment suitable for the chickens. The harmful gas content in the chicken house exceeds the standard and the time is long. It will stimulate the respiratory mucosa to cause respiratory mucosal damage and respiratory diseases. Therefore, we must strengthen the ventilation and ventilation in the usual house, and disinfect the environment.
5, the importance of light for laying hens is self-evident, regardless of the duration of light or light intensity, the secretion of light-stimulating gland hormones, the impact on the laying performance of the flock is very obvious, gradually increase the light peak after entering the laying period After that, it is generally maintained at around 15-16 hours in poultry farming equipment for sale in Zimbabwe.
Chicken rearing equipment - Chicken cages are places where hens and broilers have always lived. Therefore, it is inevitable that chicken broil will leave the chicken's droppings, feed and other substances. It will easily breed bacteria after a long time. If the farmer simply cleans up, the surface can only be cleaned and the bacteria can not be cleaned up. Therefore, the farmer should disinfect the chicken cage to effectively remove the bacteria. During the disinfection process, farmers should also pay attention to a few points.
1. Reasonable choice of disinfectant:
The choice of disinfection drugs should be targeted. According to the purpose, target, and epidemic trend of the disinfection, drugs should be selected according to the principle of high efficiency, broad spectrum, economy and side effects. At present, the following types are commonly used: chlorine, the side effects are small, the higher the temperature, the stronger the bactericidal power, and the more the drinking water is disinfected. The quaternary ammonium salts have a strong killing effect on Gram-positive bacteria, and are often used for disinfection of sheds and equipment. Formaldehyde is effective against bacteria and viruses, but it is slow, corrosive, and is often used for disinfection in sheds. Different pathogenic microorganisms have significantly different sensitivities to disinfectants. For example, microorganisms that form spores are less sensitive to disinfectants, and thus the concentration and duration of action of the drugs used are increased. Most disinfectants have effects on bacteria, but have little effect on bacterial spores and viruses. Therefore, the characteristics of pathogenic microorganisms should be considered when eliminating infectious diseases, and disinfectants should be selected correctly.
2. Maintain a suitable temperature:
In addition to flame disinfection relies entirely on temperature to kill microorganisms, other methods of disinfection are also affected by temperature changes. The bactericidal effect of the disinfectant is proportional to the temperature, the temperature is increased, and the bactericidal effect is enhanced, so the summer disinfection effect is stronger than that in winter. Disinfection in the high temperature season in summer can reduce the temperature of 3 to 4 °C, and play a role in heatstroke prevention and cooling of the chickens, effectively reducing heat stress. In the winter, the temperature should be raised by 1~2 °C before disinfection to reduce the impact of disinfection and cooling. When the fumigation method is adopted, the disinfection effect is lowered at a temperature of 15 ° C or less, and the disinfection effect is best at an ambient temperature of 25 ° C to 40 ° C.
3. Maintain proper humidity:
Environmental humidity has a great influence on fumigation and disinfection. If the humidity is too high or too low, it will affect the disinfection effect and even lead to disinfection failure. When fumigation is carried out with formaldehyde or peracetic acid, the humidity is required to be 60% to 80%. In addition, most disinfectants lose their disinfection after drying, and solution-type disinfectants can only function effectively when in solution. When the relative humidity is 60% or less, the bactericidal power is strong. When the relative humidity is 80% to 90%, the sterilizing power is reduced by 30% to 40%. This is because the increase in relative humidity affects the penetration of ultraviolet rays.
The above is the three chicken cages in Ghana disinfection points shared with the farmers. The disinfection process farmers can refer to the “Disinfection Process of Chicken Cage in Poultry Farming Equipment” for understanding.
Generally, large-scale farming will choose breeding equipment to raise chickens. After all, it is more convenient. The choice of equipment should be based on actual conditions, which directly affects the quality of management and the economic benefits in poultry farm equipment suppliers
1, about heating equipment
As long as the purpose of heating and heat preservation can be achieved, heating methods such as electric heating, water heating, coal stoves, even fire, and mantle can be used, but it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the coal stove is dirty and prone to gas poisoning, and a chimney must be added. Pay attention to thermal insulation when designing the house.
2, the ventilation equipment of the chicken house
Closed houses must be mechanically ventilated. According to the direction of airflow in the house, they can be divided into horizontal ventilation and longitudinal ventilation. Lateral ventilation means that the direction of airflow in the house is perpendicular to the long axis of the house. Longitudinal ventilation refers to the way in which a large number of fans are concentrated in one place, so that the airflow in the house is parallel to the long axis of the house. Longitudinal ventilation is better.
3, water supply equipment, from the perspective of saving water and preventing bacterial contamination, nipple drinker is the most ideal water supply equipment, you must choose a high quality water-proof drinking fountain. Both health and water.
4, the feeding equipment mainly uses the trough, and the cage chickens use long troughs. This feeding method can also be used when raising the brooding. The shape of the trough has a great influence on the throwing of the feed of the chicken. The trough is too shallow, and no guard edges will cause more feed waste.
5, egg collection equipment, the highly mechanized chicken farm uses the conveyor belt to automatically collect eggs, high efficiency, but the damage rate is high.
6, clearing equipment, the general chicken farms use artificial regular clearing manure, the larger chicken farm can use mechanical cleaning in poultry farming equipment for sale.
7, lighting equipment, using ordinary light bulbs to illuminate, the trend is to use energy-saving lamps. Many chicken farms install time-controlled automatic switches instead of manual switches to ensure accurate and reliable illumination time.
