The summer weather is hot, and the egg production rate will drop, especially after entering the sky, so the farmers need to do the following management to ensure the egg production rate of the laying hens in summer.

Feeding management points

1. Pay attention to the weather forecast, pay attention to the high temperature and high humidity weather, especially after the rain, the higher humidity will cause the wet curtain to cool down and increase the heat stress.

2. Reduce the density of chicken battery cage feeding. Appropriately reduce the number of replenishment, timely eliminate residual, weak, sick chicks, expand the group as early as possible, reduce the stocking density.
 
3. Adjust the feeding time. After 2-4 hours of feeding, the heat production increases, so high temperature weather avoids feeding during high temperature period, and feeding time avoids high temperature period, preferably before 8 am and after 5 pm. Pay attention to the mildew and deterioration of the feed to prevent poisoning or intestinal diseases, daily cleansing and limiting light once.

4. Strengthen night ventilation and cool down. Conducive to the chickens to dissipate the heat during the day, increase feed intake.

5. Adjust the waterline in time to ensure sufficient clean drinking water. In high temperature weather, the chickens need a large amount of water to ensure that the chickens have sufficient water, and the lower drinking water temperature can lower the body temperature.

6. Timely supplement electrolytes and vitamins. The flock has a large amount of respiration, and at the same time, it has a large amount of drinking water, which is easy to cause imbalance of the acid-base balance. At this time, the electrolyte should be replenished in time; at the same time, the compound vitamin is supplemented to improve the body's ability to resist heat stress.

7. Reduce the stocking density. Laying hens are particularly afraid of heat. In summer, people should reduce the stocking density of chickens in time according to the rising temperature. The density of flocks should be based on ambient temperature, humidity and the type of house. In the hot summer, reducing the stocking density can effectively reduce the small ambient temperature in the house, which is of great significance in production practice. When captive laying hens enter the summer, it is advisable to raise 5 per square meter; after entering the volts, it can be reduced to 4 per square meter.

The above points are the advantages of raising chickens in poultry battery cages described by the author. Generally, the breeding quantity is less than 1,000. It is best for farmers to use flat or free-range breeding. This breeding method is the most cost-effective and can quickly return to cost. If the breeding volume is more than 3,000 or more, then the author recommends the use of layer chicken cages, which is convenient and labor-saving.

Ventilation in the house is a daily and important thing, and now the chicken factory is a closed chicken house, so the farmers will use some ventilation chicken automated poultry equipment in nigeria to properly ventilate the chicken house, the chicken The harmful gases from the house are discharged, so that the flocks can breathe fresh air. How should the house be properly ventilated?

First, to ensure the tightness of the house: the premise of using the equipment for effective ventilation is that the tightness of the house is better, because only the closed house can use the equipment to let fresh air enter the house. Therefore, this requires farmers to pay attention to the inspection of the tightness of the house, for the poorly sealed house, to find the place where the air leakage is serious, especially the front and rear doors, the slab and the water curtain In other places, in addition to the high temperature period, the vertical ventilation system is mainly used, and the wet curtain cooling system is used.

Second, to ensure the matching of the chicken group demand and ventilation in the chicken house: the farmers will choose to use the chicken equipment fan equipment for equipment ventilation, and then use negative pressure ventilation to improve the wind speed inside the house and ensure the ventilation effect. When using longitudinal ventilation (especially when using a wet curtain), close the small windows of the house. If you open the small window, the wind speed will be unevenly distributed.

Third, the use of air inlets and water curtains should be matched with the fan: the number of fans and wet curtains for chicken equipment should match the house to obtain good ventilation and cooling effect. The size of the air inlet should be matched with the fan, the purpose is to make the chicken The ventilation is even and effective, and the static pressure inside the house is appropriate.

Fourth, create a suitable somatosensory temperature: farmers should pay attention to whether the ventilation management of the house is effective, whether the chicken is comfortable, not only the temperature displayed by the thermometer and the thermostat, must be judged according to the somatosensory temperature of the chicken and the performance of the flock : So farmers can go to the type H of bettery cage system to observe the flock and see how their mental state.

•  Do not mix the feed water with porridge-like chicken. Thinners tend to dilute the digestive juices and reduce the activity of various digestive enzymes, resulting in incomplete feed digestion, poor nutrient absorption, and even indigestion, which greatly reduces feed utilization. Chickens are also prone to fat deposits because of their thinner skin, and their subcutaneous fat is too thick to cater to consumer preferences.
• Try to use a free drinking fountain, or plastic cover drinking fountains, such as the use of plastic cover drinking fountains best hanging up, to the chicken can drink water is appropriate to ensure that the chicken has sufficient clean drinking water.

• When the weather is hot, it can be fed in the morning and in the evening and it can improve the feed intake of chickens. Wet material can be used at noon, and the ratio of material to water is suitable for 1:0.5-2. The degree of opening is better. Generally, feeding dry materials in the morning and feeding wet materials at noon can stimulate chickens to eat more food.
• When your chickens run into high temperature, you can add glucose and vitamin C to your drinking water, which can increase the energy lost due to lack of feed intake. It can also enhance the chicken's physique and anti-stress ability. It also has certain auxiliary treatment effects on high fever.

When using poultry farm cage to raise chickens in the farm, pay attention to many details. The water supply must be normal in the whole process of chicken feeding, no water leakage, no blockage, no pollution. This requires thorough cleaning of the water line before cleaning the chicken, wiping the cup, checking the nipple installation and water leakage. A simple leak phenomenon is not the result of management slack. This shows that we have fewer visits to and from the house, and the work in the house is not fine enough. If the water leaks too much on the ground, it will cause a chain reaction, which will increase the humidity in the house. Under high temperature, the chicken manure is mixed with the feed and fermented rapidly to produce a thick ammonia gas. Excessive concentration of ammonia will damage the respiratory mucosa of the chick, the respiratory tract. The mucous membrane is the first barrier against the invasion of foreign evils. Once damaged, the chicks are completely filled with pathogens, and the immune system is overwhelmed by a variety of pathogens. The end result is a mixed infection in poultry cage equipment.

The fully automatic material line saves labor and improves work efficiency, which does not mean that you no longer pay attention to the feeding problem. In the process of breeding, there must be no leakage, no material, no mold. For example, there is only one reason for the missing material problem, that is, the tray is not installed. If the breeder's work is done with enough care, check the number of times before loading, and fix the position probe after each expansion. The above problems will be solved. If the most basic water and materials in the house are insufficient, it can be imagined that other equipment in the house can operate smoothly.

Temperature, humidity and ventilation. Those who are engaged in farming know that temperature, humidity and ventilation are closely related and contradictory. Especially in the winter and spring seasons, the temperature is low, the humidity is relatively small, and at the same time, enough fresh air is supplied to the house. If the ventilation is too large, the temperature and humidity will decrease greatly; if the ventilation is too small, the air quality in the house will be poor. In summer, the temperature and humidity are too high, and it is often necessary to increase ventilation to reduce the humidity in the house and the somatosensory temperature of the chicken. As far as the current season is concerned, although it is a beautiful season for spring blossoms, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and there are many windy weathers. So how to adjust the fan and small window, adjust the temperature inside the house evenly, and the humidity and sufficient oxygen in the house. It has become a key task.

When the temperature is high during the day, ventilation can be increased, and the ventilation time is twice or even greater at night. Sufficient fresh air is clearly beneficial to alleviate the symptoms of respiratory diseases. In the evening, everyone eats and rests. When everyone is most relaxed, the temperature begins to decrease. At this time, the small window should be adjusted in time to prevent the cold air from being fully warmed up on the chicken. This way the chicken will only feel more comfortable and there is no feeling of quenching. In the windy weather, whether the small windows of the north and south walls have been adjusted accordingly to avoid inconsistent air intake in the north and south walls. Try your best to minimize stress, and the chicken will naturally not catch a cold. Stress is the source, and viruses such as colds are fueling the waves. When you have not responded in time, they will push the flocks to the abyss step by step.
