First, the quality of the chicks, to ensure health, to ensure good hatching work if the incubation temperature is too high or too low, too high or too small humidity, inadequate ventilation, long time of hatching, poor health of the hatchery or other unreasonable process will This leads to low quality chicks, which in turn affects broiler production. Pay attention to the transportation link. If there is no ventilation in the transportation vehicle or there is a dead angle in the ventilation, the chicks may be overheated, dehydrated or deprived of oxygen. In the cold season, if the transportation vehicle does not have heating equipment such as air conditioning, the chicks often suffer from cold stress or excessive heat preservation. Hermetic causes hypoxia.

Second, feed nutrition, as we all know, to make the broiler fast growth, high feed conversion rate of the characteristics of excellent varieties to be played, the broiler chickens need to feed high-energy high-protein full-price feed. Today's broiler feed formulators can easily design full-price feeds for the nutrients needed for each stage of growth in broilers.

Third, the environmental status of the chicken house

1. Temperature, the ambient temperature of 1 day old chicks is controlled at 33 °C ~ 34 °C. At 7 days of age, the ambient temperature was lowered to 30 ° C to 31 ° C. Later, as the chick ages, the temperature drops by 2 ° C to 3 ° C per week, and the temperature of the house is controlled to be 19 ° C to 20 ° C when the age is 35 days. Special emphasis is placed on gradually reducing the ambient temperature of the house, so that the temperature difference of the house is not more than 1 °C per day, so as to avoid cold stress.

2. Humidity, the humidity of broilers in the first week is controlled at 60% to 65%. Later, with the increase of age, the humidity is controlled within the range of 50% to 70% in chicken battery cages .

Poultry feeding equipment includes: heating equipment, ventilation equipment, water supply equipment, feeding equipment, egg collecting equipment, cleaning equipment, cages, lighting equipment, and the like.

The manure pump, the manure machine, the chicken feeding equipment are of a quality and do not match, and the equipment for raising chicks, broiler chickens and laying hens is required to have specifications and proportions. The equipment should be matched to facilitate the normal growth and development of the flock and reasonable turnover, and give full play to the utilization rate and operation rate of the equipment. The depreciation charge allocated to each hen, or per kilogram of eggs, is more reasonable, thereby reducing production costs.

However, the proportion of brooding, brooding and laying hens in many chicken farmers is out of balance and is not satisfactory. The feeding area is often too small, the stocking density is too large, and the feed and drinking water tanks are not enough. It can be said that this is a common problem common to chicken farmers and one of the important factors affecting the economic benefits of laying hens. There are also some chicken farmers who raise more chickens, use less houses or have no extra houses to support the chickens. Prematurely raising the chickens in cages is not good for the growth and development of the young birds, and ultimately affects the laying performance of the hens. The laying hens are harvested after the hens are opened.

Nowadays, the laying hens are mostly caged, and the chicken cages are indispensable equipment. The chicken farmers generally pay more attention to them. However, the lack of identification of the quality of the chicken cage tends to be low-priced when purchased. Cage is the place where hens live, produce and sleep. The quality of the cage should not be neglected. The quality of the cage bottom, the width and slope of the cage are especially important. The author once witnessed the difference in the quality of chicken cages from two manufacturers in the same chicken farm, resulting in significant differences in egg production, number of dead hunters and egg breaking rates. Another notable and more common problem is not to pack chickens in cages. When the survival rate of brooding is high, the number of surviving hens exceeds the number of budget tranches, or the hens who are underweight are reluctant to retire. In this case, they are often over-loaded. According to statistics, when the number of cages per cage increased to 5, 22.5% of hens died before 305 days of age. According to the statistics of the production reports accumulated by the author for many years, the flocking rate exceeds the prescribed standard, and the egg production rate is 5% to 15% lower than that of the normal chicken flock.

Poultry farming equipment is directly related to the benefits of farmers. Therefore, chicken farmers cannot be cheap when purchasing poultry farm equipment.

Nowadays more and more people choose the industry of raising chickens, and feed is the main factor determining the quality of eggshells and the strength of eggshells. Most people generally believe that the calcium content of the laying hens is 3.2% to 3.5%, and the phosphorus content is 0.45%, which is the best level. In the hot season or the peak of egg production, the calcium content can be increased to 3.6%-3.8. %, adding 4% in a short period can make the eggshell thicker, but further increase is not good for laying eggs, and it can not improve the quality of eggshells.

Insufficient calcium in the feed promotes feeding, resulting in excessive feed consumption, more fat deposition in the hen, and increased body weight; excessive calcium in the feed can reduce the appetite of the chicken. In general, calcium ingested by chickens in the morning passes through the digestive tract and is absorbed into the bloodstream in the small intestine, deposited in the bones, and used to form eggshells when necessary. Calcium in the afternoon can directly form the eggshell. It is therefore best to feed the hen every afternoon or evening.

Shell and stone powder are used as calcium sources in production. Eggshell strength is best when the dietary calcium source accounts for two-thirds of the shell and limestone accounts for one-third. Chickens have the best absorption of animal calcium sources and the worst absorption of plant calcium sources. High temperature sterilized eggshells are the best source of calcium. The lack of vitamin D3 destroys the homeostasis of calcium and forms eggs with defective eggshells, so a sufficient amount of vitamin D3 is added to the feed in poultry cages for sale.

Layer cages are cages specially used to breed laying hens. It is possible that many people do not understand why they need to use specialized breeding cages for breeding laying hens. Many people may think that it is better to raise chickens instead of freeing them. This is not the case. In fact, there are many benefits to using chicken in a chicken battery cages. So, do you know the specific benefits?

Benefits of using layer cage farming:

1. Reasonable design, stable performance, easy operation, sturdy and durable, full use of hot dip zinc process, service life of 15-20 years.

The above is all the content for everyone to share, I hope that after reading this article, you can understand the benefits of using chicken in the layer cage. If you have any questions, please consult the poultry equipment manufacturers and have a professional staff to answer your questions.

The key to the success of raising chickens is brooding. The quality of brooding directly affects the growth and development of chicks, the survival rate, the uniformity of the flocks, the disease resistance of adult chickens, the egg production of adult chickens, and the duration of egg production peaks. And even the economic benefits of the entire chicken industry. Therefore, it is very important to manage the feeding of chicks.

 
1. Preparation before brooding. Before brooding, the brooding house should be thoroughly cleaned, and the troughs, sinks and other utensils should be cleaned and strictly disinfected. Before entering the brood, the brooding house should be pre-warmed in advance, so that the temperature inside the house is relatively stable and easy to control.
 
2. Appropriate temperature and humidity. Temperature is one of the key factors for the success of brooding. Providing suitable temperature can effectively improve the survival rate of chicks.

3. Scientific breeding. Drink water before the chicks start eating. At 1 to 7 days of age, add glucose and electrolysis to the drinking water to facilitate the absorption of the yolk body of the chicks. Drink tap water after 1 week of age, to ensure that the water is clean and not to break water.

 
4. A reasonable lighting system. Light can increase the metabolism of the chicken, increase the appetite, the length and intensity of the light, the color and wavelength of the light, the start and stop time of the light stimulation, whether the dark period is continuous or indirect, and the activity, feeding, drinking and body development of the chicken Sexual development has an important impact.

 
5. Ventilation and ventilation. The metabolism of the chicks is strong, the amount of fresh air and exhaled carbon dioxide and water vapor required by the unit weight are high, and the ammonia is continuously released from the chicken manure. Poor environmental factors in the house will bring stress to the chickens, affect the normal activities of the birds, affect the growth and development of the body, and reduce the body's immune function.

 
6. Feeding density. Feeding density directly affects the growth and development of chicks, especially the uniformity of chicks, the density is too large, the chicken's range of activity is small, the chickens are squeezed, the feeding is uneven, the chicks are not neatly developed, and the size varies; the density is too small. It causes waste of the house and equipment, does not keep warm, and has low economic efficiency in poultry cage equipment.

In recent years, with the rapid development of the economy, the chicken industry has made rapid progress, and the way of raising chickens has also developed into a cage in the past. The broiler cage is a cage for broiler chickens. It adopts a multi-layered three-dimensional breeding mode, and the breeding density is large, which can improve the efficiency of the farmers. So how do you use broiler cages to raise chickens scientifically? The following authors will introduce the technical points for farmers to use chicken cages for scientific chicken raising.

1. Choose a reliable, well-structured broiler cage: The first step in broiler chickens is, of course, the choice of broiler cage equipment. Nowadays, there are many manufacturers selling broiler battery cages on the market, and the quality is also uneven. When considering the price, the farmers should pay attention to the quality and structure of the cage. Only reliable quality cages can be used for a longer period of time. Only well-structured cages can make more rational use of space for more chickens, so that the chickens can live comfortably.

2. Choose the number and variety of chickens according to the specifications of the chicken battery cages: before raising chickens, farmers need to choose the variety of broilers according to their local demand for broilers.Such ability can assure the broiler chicken that raises oneself has market.In addition, when selecting the number of feeding, it is necessary to choose according to the specifications of the chicken cage, otherwise increasing the feeding density will affect the healthy growth of the chicken flock.

3. Scientific feeding according to the growth stage: The feeding period of the general broiler chicken is only about five or sixty days, and the feeding period is short. Although broilers have a short growth cycle, they are also divided into different growth stages. Currently, broiler chickens can be divided into three stages: brooding period, medium chicken period and fattening period. Farmers should adjust the feeding points according to the different stages of the broiler, as well as the nutrient ratio and content of the feed. To be scientifically raised, it meets the growth needs and standards of broilers, enabling them to grow healthily.

4. Pay attention to the choice of feed and storage feed: Regarding the choice of feed, farmers need to formulate and select full-price feed according to the nutritional needs of broilers in different growth stages. This will ensure that the broiler's nutrition meets the standard and can grow healthily. Also pay attention to the storage of feed, be sure to choose a dry, hygienic place. Once it is found to be wet, agglomerate and mildew, it must be stopped immediately to avoid affecting the health of the chicken flock. At the same time, pay attention to the chicken house and the ventilation of the feed storage.

5. Learning the science of raising chickens: Only by implementing scientific chickens, farmers can better develop the growth performance of broilers and reduce the incidence of diseases. Therefore, in the process of daily feeding, farmers should continue to learn and summarize. Scientific chicken raising techniques include sanitation, breeding density, ventilation, lighting time, feed preparation, immunization and many other aspects.

6. Do a good job of immune disinfection: disease is a key factor hindering the growth performance of broilers, so farmers should do a good job in disease prevention during the daily feeding process. The key point of disease prevention is immunization and disinfection. Disinfection can kill the pathogenic microorganisms in the chicken house in time and hinder the spread of bacteria. Immunization can prevent the occurrence of various infectious diseases, and farmers should pay special attention.

1.Feeding equipment

The main use of the trough, the cage chickens use a long trough, the automatic feeding is fed by the feeding machine and the chain feeder, the flat chicken can also use this feeding method, or feed the bucket . Chicks should use a shallow dish of feed.

The shape of the trough affects whether the feed is allowed to be used. The trough is too shallow, and there is no need to protect the edge from causing more feed waste. When the side of the trough is relatively high and the slope is large, it can prevent the feed from being thrown out of the trough when the chicken is eating. The size of the trough should be set according to the size of the chicken. To prevent the chicken from being drained in the trough, a rotating beam can be installed on the trough.

2. Egg laying equipment
A two-layered egg laying box can be used for raising broiler breeders or flat broiler chickens. One box is provided for every four hens, and the upper pedal should be no more than 60 cm from the ground. Each nest is about 30 cm wide, 30 cm high and 32-38 cm deep. The sides of the nest and the back of the nest can be in the form of grid bars to ensure the air circulation in the nest. The box is raised above the buffer baffle to prevent the eggs from rolling off the ground.

3. Manure cleaning equipment
A section of chicken farm using manual regular cleaning, a small number of chicken farms and large chicken farms using scraping dung board mechanical cleaning, scraping dung board steel wire corrosion fracture, maintenance inconvenience, high cost, no power guarantee is difficult to use.

4. Cage
The brooding can be done with a stencil or a vertical multi-layer brooder. In addition to the flat net, the mature chickens are often used in overlapping or stepped cages. Laying hens are basically caged. Cultivating cages and caged chickens can make full use of space, increase feeding capacity, good sanitation, facilitate epidemic prevention, save feed, high cleanliness of eggs, and convenient management of chickens. These advantages of using chicken battery cages to raise chickens are a major factor in promoting cage farming.

5. Lighting equipment
At present, incandescent lamps (ie, bulbs) and energy-saving LEDs are commonly used for illumination. Many field installation timers automatically control the light switch to replace the manual switch, ensuring accurate and reliable illumination time. It can also be illuminated by fluorescent tubes, which are directed towards the ceiling, so that the light is reflected through the ceiling to the ground. This scattered light is softer and even while saving electricity.

Water is the source of life and an indispensable nutrient for the growth of various organisms in poultry cage equipment. It is even more important for broilers. The ultimate goal of broiler farming is to maintain a better quality of meat and weight, so it is important to feed a reasonable proportion of water and feed during broiler farming.

1. About the proportion of drinking water and feeding. Under normal growth conditions, there is a certain proportion of feed and water consumption. If the drinking water of the chickens is found to be too large, it may be caused by overheating, dryness in the house or high heat disease. Farmers should find the cause in time and take corresponding measures.

2. About drinking water. Broilers use warm water of about 20 °C in drinking water within 3 days of age. If it is found that the conditions in the house are not suitable for the flock, it is necessary to take timely measures to adjust. If the chicken has a pathological performance, the farmers should not arbitrarily use the medicine. They should immediately seek technical personnel and take corresponding measures to prevent and cure.
