Birds can have difficulty with medication. They don't take their pills well; they can find and spit cleverly hidden pills in their food; they can be quite a challenge when trying to administer them. The following are possible ways to medicate your bird. Your veterinarian has determined that your bird is sick and needs medication. It sounds easier than it actually is. Medications often have a strong, unpleasant taste and getting our birds to take them can be a real challenge.

Adding drugs to drinking water is controversial, but sometimes the only way to go. The goal is that the bird will heal itself throughout the day when he drinks regularly.

This approach has several disadvantages. The first disadvantage is that not all medicines can be put into drinking water. Some medicines can make the water bitter or taste bad and the birds won't drink it. You may have a sick and dehydrated bird instead of a sick bird. Some birds may even refuse to drink if the drug changes the color of the water. Another disadvantage is that the water and drug mixture must be prepared fresh daily. If there is more than one bird in the cage, both may receive medication. If a healthy bird predominates, he may get most of the medication, while a sick bird may get very little.

give liquid medicine

The most reliable way to administer medication to a bird is to give a liquid medication directly to the bird. Most oral suspensions are well-loved by birds, especially when flavored.

The procedure for administering liquid medicine to your bird includes:

Take the prescribed amount with an oral syringe or dropper.

To use oral medication, first remove the bird from its cage.

Wrap him in a soft towel. Make sure his wings and feet are not exposed.

Once restrained, allow the bird to calm down before starting the dosing.

Place the tip of a dropper or oral syringe inside the beak. The bird may start to bite the tip.

The above are the methods and methods shared by poultry equipment manufacturers about using poultry drinking equipment to feed chickens. Hope the above sharing will be useful.

The battery chicken cages have been recognized by many breeding users. Because the structure of the chicken cage is reasonable, feeding is convenient, and the service life is long. The following is a detailed introduction to the advantages of using chicken cages for poultry farming.

1. Thebattery cage system has a simple structure, simple operation, and some positions can be automatically adjusted according to the user's usage. Because the material is very durable, the probability of maintenance is very low, and the service life is as long as 20 years.
2. We can carry out effective design according to the user's usage, prevent the phenomenon of pecking feathers and anus between laying hens, and reduce the breakage rate of eggs.
3. The A-type layer cages adopts the hot-dip galvanizing process, which makes the equipment sturdy and durable, with a smooth appearance, no scratches on the laying hens, and extended service life
4. We adopt a very open-door design for thebattery chicken cages, which makes the space in the cage larger, the eating position of the laying hens can be changed arbitrarily, and the feeding trough can also be adjusted according to the size and height of the laying hens, which effectively prevents the Mutual crowding between feeding hens ensures even feeding.

The above are the advantages of using battery chicken cages for poultry farming shared by poultry equipment manufacturers.

Poultry equipment manufacturers believe that in the process of feeding laying hens, it is necessary to clearly understand the drinking habits of laying hens, especially the laying hens in the laying period. Therefore, we will analyze the drinking habits of laying hens.

First of all, when using the battery cage system to feed laying hens, it can be mastered by observing the drinking habits of laying hens. Through daily observation, farmers should be able to clearly understand the daily drinking water peak of laying hens. Generally speaking, the peak drinking water of laying hens will be in the three time periods of 8:00 am, 12:00 noon and 6:00 pm every day. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the adequacy of water according to the peak time of drinking water.

In addition, when using the laying hen feeding equipment to feed laying hens, you should also know that the water intake of laying hens in different seasons is also different. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully observe the drinking water of laying hens in each season, so as to feed according to different water intake, which will also help to improve the egg production of laying hens. In addition, generally speaking, the water consumption of laying hens is about 200 ml in spring and autumn, about 280 ml in summer, and about 110 ml in winter.

The above content is the drinking habits of laying hens analyzed by the layer chicken cage suppliers. I hope it can help poultry farmers to take better care of laying hens and make chickens grow healthier.

In the wild, insects are a natural part of poultry's omnivorous diet. However, there is now a trend towards intensive chicken farming using battery cage systems, where birds raised in poultry chicken cages are out of reach. However, insects are a protein-rich food source that has traditionally been used to supplement animal and human diets, and we can do this in the following ways.

insect breeding

Breeding flies, laying eggs and hatching larvae - all under controlled conditions around 30 degrees Celsius. The larvae are then fed until they reach the right size. This is a good way to provide your poultry with good nutrition.

buy insect feed

Insect meal is rich in protein (40% to 50%) and has a higher concentration of essential amino acids than soybean meal. Compared to lysine, BSF meal contains higher levels of threonine, valine, isoleucine and leucine than fish meal. Insects are also relatively high in fat and provide energy levels comparable to, or even higher than, grains or legumes.

The above are the methods and methods shared by poultry equipment manufacturers to supplement nutrition for poultry in the battery cage system. Hope to be able to help everyone.

The number of chickens per square meter of feeding area of ​​automatic broiler equipment is called stocking density, and the feeding and drinking position occupied by each chicken is also an indispensable condition for grasping stocking density. If the density is too high, the flock is crowded, the environmental humidity is increased, the feed intake is uneven, the chick flock is not well-developed, susceptible to disease and pecking, the chick's constitution becomes weak, the mortality rate increases, and the growth rate decreases.

The density is small, although it is conducive to the survival and growth of chicks, but it is not conducive to heat preservation and is not economical. The density should be adjusted according to the type of chick, breed, brooding method, season, age, ventilation and other factors. Automatic breeding equipment cage brooding should be sparsely grouped with the increase of age, the density should be reduced by about 30% at 3-4 weeks of age, and the density should be reduced by about 15% at 5-6 weeks of age.

Egg-type chicks at 1-4 weeks of age occupy a trough position of 2 to 2.5 cm each, and increase to 5.0 cm each at 5-6 weeks of age. If feeding buckets are used, 35 chicks per bucket at 1-4 weeks of age and 25 chicks per bucket at 5-6 weeks of age. One-week-old chicks usually use vacuum drinkers, each of which can provide water for 50 to 70 chickens. If a water tank is used, the position of each water tank for 0-6 week-old chicks is 1 to 2 cm.

Broiler chickens are suitable for higher densities, but this also depends on specific conditions. Generally, the stocking density of flat raising on the net is higher than that of the bedding field, and the ventilation conditions are good, and the density can be appropriately increased. Stocking density can be increased by 10% in winter and reduced by 10%-20% in summer.

A reasonable stocking density can provide chicks with an equal opportunity to drink water and feed, which is conducive to improving uniformity, and can also prevent chicks from pecking anus and feathers.

How to reduce the egg breaking rate of laying hens? Many laying hen manufacturers have such doubts. Compare when using layer cage equipment. Many cannot be solved directly. Here are some solutions

1. To meet the nutritional needs, especially the content of calcium and vitamin D3, the content of phosphorus should be appropriate, and the ratio of calcium and phosphorus should be mastered, which is generally around 3.4-4.6:1.

2. Increase the number of egg inspections and avoid collisions with each other, especially during the concentrated egg-laying time, and light actions should be taken when picking up and moving eggs.

3. In the high temperature season, increase the calcium content in the diet appropriately, the calcium content is between 3.7-5%, and should not exceed 5%, and add baking soda (0.25% sodium bicarbonate instead of 0.2% salt) to the drinking water and Vitamin C (50-100 mg/kg) can both reduce heat stress in chickens and improve eggshell quality.

4. The number of egg-laying boxes for flat chickens should be sufficient, and the bottom of the cage should be covered with clean and soft cushions; the bottom of the cage should not be too steep, and the lead wire should not be too thick. Cushioning is used on the sloped turns of the egg line.

5. From 50-60 weeks of age, a short-term fasting for 3-7 days was performed, the egg production was the same as that of the non-fasting group, the eggshell strength was significantly increased compared with the non-fasting treatment, and the egg breaking rate was greatly reduced.

6. To keep the flock healthy and not get sick, many diseases will not only reduce the egg production rate, but also reduce the quality of the egg shell, causing the egg breakage rate to increase.

7. For brown-shell hens with good eggshell quality, the breakage rate of brown-shell eggs is lower than that of white-shell eggs.

8. Reduce the occurrence of stress factors and keep the environment inside and outside the house quiet and comfortable.

There are many factors that go into the success or failure of raising chickens. For example, the selection of chicks, the purchase of chicken raising equipment, the survival rate of chickens, and the management of chicken houses, etc. Today, let’s discuss the key to raising chickens well.

Before entering the chicks, poultry farmers must clean the hen house and carry out strict disinfection.

suitable temperature and humidity. Temperature is one of the key factors for the success or failure of brooding. Providing a suitable temperature can effectively improve the survival rate of chicks. Due to the imperfect thermoregulatory function of chicks, chicks are very sensitive to temperature. If the temperature is too low, the chicks are easy to swarm, squeeze and die. Generally, the chicken house is required to be 32°C to 35°C in the first week, and then drop by 2°C to 3°C every week after that. Too high or too low humidity is not conducive to the growth and development of chicks. The humidity is generally 65% to 70% from 1 to 10 days old, and remains at 55% to 65% after 10 days of age.

Buy battery chicken cages. The use of poultry cages can not only reduce manpower and material resources, but also provide a good and comfortable growing environment for chickens. Make the chicken happy, increase the conversion rate, and finally create more economic benefits for you.

Strengthen ventilation. The chick has a strong metabolism, and the fresh air and exhaled carbon dioxide and water vapor required per unit body weight are large, and the ammonia gas is continuously released from the chicken manure. Unfavorable environmental factors in the house will bring stress to the chickens, affect the normal activities of the chickens, affect the growth and development of the body, reduce the immune function of the body, increase the probability of disease infection in the body, and hinder the growth and development of chickens to varying degrees. Therefore, the brooding room should pay special attention to ventilation.

Strengthen the management of chicken houses. The breeder should always check the feeding and drinking conditions of the chicks, and pick out weak and sick chicks by observing the mental state of the chicks. Chicken manure should be observed every morning. Normally, it should be gray-white with a layer of white urate on it. It is moderately thick and curly. If it is found that the stool is abnormal, effective measures should be taken in time.

The above is the experience of raising laying hens summarized by poultry equipment manufacturers. Strictly control the management system of the chicken house to make the chicken life more comfortable and make your poultry farm develop better.
