Brooding is very important. Affect subsequent broiler slaughter and broiler egg production. How to take better care of chicks? My answer is to use battery brooder cages.

The growth and development of chicks can be promoted by using battery chicken cage systems. The growth rate of chicks is relatively fast in the early stage, and then gradually slows down as the number of days increases. In this way, farmers need to provide sufficient nutrients for chicks to meet their rapid growth and development needs.

Using chicken cages can promote chick feather growth. Feather growth requires more protein, so farmers should pay attention to the adequacy of protein in the feed when raising chickens, especially the high content of sulfur-containing amino acids.

The automatic battery brooder cages can boost the metabolism of the chicks. Chickens are the equivalent of our human childhood. The metabolism is more vigorous, and the heart rate of chicks is faster than that of adult chickens. The breathing rate is high. Fresh air should be continuously supplied. Pay attention to ventilation when the temperature is guaranteed.

In addition, the use of poultry battery cages for brooder can be separated according to different breeds. For example: the growth and development of roosters and hens are very different. Under the same nutritional conditions and feeding management, roosters grow fast, have high feed utilization, and have strong ability to compete for food, but their feathers grow slowly. Therefore, in the breeding of battery chicken cages, the male and female chicks are reared in groups, which can improve the uniformity and feed utilization of the whole group.

The above points are some of the growth characteristics of chickens, and I hope they can be a reference for poultry farmers.

Regardless of the industry, the most important issue that needs attention is undoubtedly the security issue. Ensuring the safety of the chicken coop is the most basic thing in the development of poultry farming. The following are the four most noteworthy safety issues for poultry farms shared by chicken cage manufacturers.

1. Safety of staff. The continuous high temperature has a serious impact on the production of laying hens, and also has a great impact on the breeders. Labor safety first, do not work in high temperature in the afternoon. When working in the room, work in groups of two. Prepare cool oils, cold drinks, and other heat-resistant products.

2. Safety on duty. Duty in high temperature is very important. Arrange two people on duty every night to detect problems in time, especially electrical problems. Two people solve the problem at the same time to ensure that the ventilation fan and heat sink work properly.

3. Safe operation of poultry farming equipment. The popularity of modern poultry equipment has led many farmers to use battery cage systems for raising chickens. The long-term operation of the equipment requires staff to maintain and repair the poultry equipment.

4. Chicken house safety. Pay attention to the sanitation of the chicken house, and do not let mice come in and endanger the life of the chickens.

Newly arrived chicks require special attention from poultry farmers. This is related to the development of poultry farming. Poultry equipment manufacturers share with you how to take care of chicks.

1. Keep the chicks warm

The chicks need to be kept in a warm place until they are fully feathered. Temperatures at the bottom of the brooding area should be 95-100 degrees for the first two weeks, then decrease by 5 degrees each week until the chicks are one month old. Use a brood light (we recommend a red bulb) clipped to the side of the brooding area so the chicks can choose to be in the light or not.

If the chicks are huddled together directly under a heat source, they are cold. If they are on the edge of the brooding area, they are too hot. Adjust the height of the lights accordingly and give them enough room to get in and out of the lights to regulate their body temperature.

2. Clean chicken droppings

Use a belt-type manure cleaner under the battery chicken cages to clean up dropped chicks on a regular basis. Automatic manure removal systems improve air quality and reduce ammonia levels. The scraper automatically cleans the conveyor belt. Each layer is equipped with a manure belt derailment device to avoid belt derailment. Four manure scrapers clean manure thoroughly. The manure disposal is convenient. (treated as fertilizer for high value) Good air quality in the house with less ammonia and less irritating stench.

3. Food and water for chicks

Keep water and chick starter in separate containers. Keep food and water clean and free of feces. If the chicks are not drinking, dip the chicks' beaks in the water to start them drinking. Chick nipple drinkers are by far the best way to water your chicks. Dishes or other temporary containers can easily overflow, making the brooding area wet and unsanitary. Never let a chick leave without water. For feed, start chicks with a starting ration of 20% protein (24% protein for broilers). At 8-10 weeks of age, switch chicks to 18-19% chick growers.

4. Chicken selection problem

Birds 1 to 3 weeks old may start picking around the base of the tail, wing arch or neck. If this happens, make sure the building is well ventilated. If picking persists, consult your veterinarian.

 Now with the popularization of automated poultry farming equipment, many chicken farms have put layer cage system into use. But chickens live in battery chicken cages. How to identify non-laying hens. After all, the timely elimination of poultry laying hens that do not lay eggs is an effective measure to improve the egg production rate of laying hens.

Poultry equipment manufacturers summarize and share several ways to help farmers better identify and use them.

1. Look at the shape: Poultry eggs that do not lay eggs are nervous and easily frightened, their feathers are often neat, but the comb is pale and shrunken; while laying hens are mild-tempered, hens are mild-tempered, their feathers are not clean, but their hair is bright red, and their expression is lively. , eyes bright.

2. Look at the head and feet: The skin of the beak, eyes and toes of sick eggs is yellow, while the skin of healthy laying hens is white.

3. Abdomen: The abdomen of sick laying hens is contracted and the feathers are rough; while the abdomen of healthy laying hens is full and soft;

4. Anus: The anus of sick poultry laying hens is white and moist, large oval;

5. Feces: The feces of sick birds and hens are sun-dried and greener; the feces of hens are thick and moist, and the surface is covered with a layer of white mucus (i.e. urate).

6. Sound: Touch the sick chickens and the hens are bumpy and make a "clucking" scream; the laying hens tighten their wings and curl up in the cage, making a "clucking" sound.

The above 6 ways to learn to identify chickens that do not lay eggs are shared by poultry equipment manufacturers. Did you learn?

Poultry farming projects using battery cage systems require a detailed business plan. For example, select the type of farming. There are two main sectors in the battery chicken industry: layer farms, i.e. chickens that are raised and raised to produce eggs. Or broiler farms, where the chickens raised and raised are slaughtered. No matter which industry you choose, you must make responsible management and financial decisions to make your chicken farm business profitable.

1. Develop a business plan

This is one of the most important things to develop as part of your operation. It tells about what you hope to achieve and how you intend to achieve it. It's also a plan for how you want to run your business. After the formulation is completed, you need to follow the steps to work.

2. Have land, capital and poultry farming equipment

You would not be able to start or maintain a chicken farm or chicken business without these urgent needs. You're going to need buildings to keep your chickens, whether they're barns or cages, it depends on how you want to keep your chickens: H-type battery cages or A-type battery cages? Land is used to build buildings and grow crops to feed your chickens. Poultry equipment is required.

3. Choose the breeding method

Decide how best to raise chickens. There are two main ways to improve them. The battery chicken cage is made of hot-dip galvanized steel sheet, with high stocking density, which can save land cover. Poultry cage systems provide a quality and clean environment.

4. Mining consumers

Let potential customers and consumers know about themselves. Advertise yourself by simply letting others know you have eggs or meat for sale.

5. Record

Keep up with the records of your business and operations. This way you can always tell if you are making money.

With the development of society, people's demand for nutrition and the pursuit of chicken products will increase, so the development of poultry farming is a good choice and opportunity.

The rainy season is characterized by heavy precipitation, long duration, humid air, and lack of sunlight all day, which can lead to a dull mood. And chickens are afraid of moisture. Especially chicks have weak resistance and poor cold resistance. In addition, long-term humidity in the air can easily cause the feed to become moldy and deteriorate, and breed bacteria to multiply. This has a certain impact on the health of chicken eating. How to reduce this effect? Chicken cage manufacturers are here to tell you about several precautions for raising chickens in the rainy season.

1. Enhance ventilation

Due to the high humidity in the air, the air in the chicken house is turbid and the ammonia smell produced by the accumulation of chicken manure is aggravated and not easily volatile. At this time, it is necessary to strengthen the ventilation in the chicken house. Open the reserved windows, exhaust the harmful gas and moisture vapor in the air to the outside of the house, and keep the air in the house fresh. And clean up the feces in time to avoid accumulation.

2. Enhanced lighting

Rainy weather will result in less light in the house. Flock feeding and egg production decreased. Daily sunlight is impossible, so artificial lighting is used here. Use lighting tools such as light bulbs to illuminate the dark areas or nights in the chicken house, and control the lighting time reasonably. It can greatly improve the feeding and rest of chickens and promote the growth and development of chickens.

3. Reasonable feed storage and feeding

In the rainy season, the air humidity is high, which is prone to mildew. Chicken farms should make a reasonable purchase plan according to their own chicken production needs, and try to consume a batch of feed within a week. When the feed is stacked, keep a distance from the ground and the wall, and the pedals can be used for stacking. The feed should be used first, and the leftovers in the chicken trough should be removed in time to prevent mildew from being eaten by the chickens and causing diseases.

4. Cleaning and Disinfection

Do not use spray disinfection in the rainy season, so as not to increase the air humidity and facilitate the breeding of bacteria. Dry and absorbent substances such as plant ash or quicklime can be used to spread on the ground, and then lay a layer of clean bedding.

5. Appropriate medication

Wet weather can easily induce respiratory and intestinal diseases in chickens. Adding some appetizing and spleen-invigorating drugs during feeding can increase the feed intake of chickens and ensure the nutritional needs of chickens for normal production.

The above is the chicken cage manufacturer's explanation of some precautions for chicken house using automatic poultry farming equipment and farmers during the rainy season when raising chickens. Hope it can help you in your farming work!

Now many chicken houses use automatic chicken raising equipment to raise chickens, so do you know the reason why the fan wet curtain of automatic chicken raising equipment does not cool? Let's find out together.

1. The reason why the automatic chicken raising equipment does not cool can be due to the low water level of the fan wet pad equipment of the farmer's automatic chicken raising equipment and the wrong adjustment of the floating ball valve. The solution is to adjust the water level to about 80-100 scale.

2. The drain valve of the automatic poultry farmingequipment is stuck, if the farmer is using the fan wet curtain and the failure occurs. The solution suggested by poultry equipment manufacturers is to replace the drain valve, nothing else.

3. The filter screen water distributor of the automatic chicken breedingequipment is blocked: the filter screen water distributor is relatively easy to silt up, and timely cleaning is very important to prevent the occurrence of blockage.

4. The filter screen of the automatic chicken cage systemis dirty: the long-term use of the air cooler filter screen will inevitably cause dirt, if it is too dirty, it should be cleaned in time.

5. Blockage of water pipes of poultryequipment: unclear water quality can easily cause such problems, timely cleaning, farmers can choose to clean after daily ventilation and cooling, which can prolong its service life.

6. The water pump of the automatic chicken raising equipment is burned out: This is a serious problem in the use of the fan wet curtain equipment of the automatic chicken raising equipment, and it also directly leads to the problem of no cooling. If the farmer finds out that the water pump is burned out, the breeding At this time, the user should replace it in time, and it should also be checked regularly in normal use, so as to reduce the incidence of failures.

Adjust the dosing unit of the feeding tray of the automatic chicken raising equipment to control the amount of each feeding: in order to ensure that the feeding is finished within the specified time, it is necessary to first calculate the approximate amount of feeding each time, and then calculate the amount of each feeding. quantity. Then adjust the dosing device of the feeding tray to control the amount of feeding each time.

1. The machine is fully automatic from feeding to feeding design, and the operation is simple.

2. It only takes 7-8 minutes for a standard chicken house to feed once.

3. The transmission is stable and the feeding is uniform, so as to ensure the uniform feeding of the whole machine, which can reduce the unevenness and waste caused by manual feeding, and at the same time reduce the cost of breeding, improve the efficiency and reduce the labor intensity.

4. Using the uniform feeding device, the feed is evenly distributed to the trough through the feeding tube through self-gravity, so as to avoid the spillage of artificial feeding and save the feed.

5. Three to four layers of chicken coops can be fed at the same time.

6. The whole machine adopts simplified chain transmission and seeding feeding, with extremely low failure rate and convenient maintenance.
